I thought that was a great value for such a beautiful and distinctive gift. I also love that they have different beautiful wrapping options for gifts. We even found a little mirror to add to the gift, and the case had beautiful Van Gogh artwork on both sides. Such a fun place to browse when you're looking for something a little different!

There's always something new, cute, and interesting to find here. Some items are also imported. Prices can be reasonable to high (e.g. they have a range of $40 to $350+ in clothing and accessory/jewelry items). I first noticed them years ago at their original location on Lincoln Ave. They relocated to this much more spacious spot after the pandemic. So glad they are still in business. I have bought various items through the years from this store for myself and for loved ones as gifts (beautiful pillbox hats with lace netting, jewelry, fashionable scarves, statement socks, etc). Great place to find a gift for someone in your life that has "everything" already. Local woman-owned business too. Located in the inner walkway/courtyard of South Shore outdoor shopping center, across from the children's play area.

We've found cat earrings that my daughter absolutely loves seeing me wear, and this time I found the most gorgeous black cat scarf for her. ‍ And of course, I always manage to find something for myself too. This visit it was three camisoles that I can wear under things or on their own, practical and fun at the same time as it takes me back in time. Marty has such a wonderful eye for unique pieces, and every visit feels like a little treasure hunt. It's one of those special Alameda shops that just keeps me happy that I hope doesn't go away!

That level of customer service is incredibly rare these days. The replacement arrangement was beautiful, and most importantly, it put a huge smile on my friend's face on their special day. Thank you, Bruce, for going above and beyond. I'll definitely be ordering from Central Florist again!
