    Our Memories for our Christmas Tree from California.

    While traveling the PCH in California, we stopped in Carmel. To remember our 3 week trip - we had a Christmas Tree Personalized to remember our trek. Now, we just finished a trip to Alaska with our family - Again Christmas Tree Ornaments for our family to remember the occasion. They are a fully stocked Christmas Store - Great Customer Service. If you are visiting. Carmel stop and bring home a lasting memory.

    This is such a cute shop. I am a sucker for year-round Christmas stores. The owner is very kind and offers the ability to personalize ornaments. They have a 2020 pandemic section that is hilarious. Definitely worth a visit if you are seeking a unique souvenir.

    Very nice store with high end Christmas decorations. I bought a beautiful hand blown Christmas ornament that was hand painted on the inside. They also had beautiful mechanical candle holders that will turn with the heat from the candle ad well as many different ornaments.

    Pricey .... Over priced .... I felt like one of the workers was stalking me. She hovered next to me as if she was shopping with me making my experience too uncomfortable to enjoy. I'll get my $19 ornament elsewhere, thanks!

    Constant Christmas cheer and kitsch! This store will either hypnotize or horrify - maybe a little of both! Easy to spot when walking by on Ocean, I've never seen this place not absolutely packed. Something about Christmas decorations just calls to everyone. Ornaments and knick-knacks are the featured items here, and I would put good money on the fact that ornaments from this store have become family traditions. Swing by if you just can't get enough Christmas!

    Such a great store in Carmel! Really got us all in the holiday spirit. They have free ornament customization that really made the ornaments we purchased even better. Very friendly owners as well. Customer service was amazing. Thank you so much for a great experience at your store!

    Neat little shop. Cliche tourist stop, but I still thought it was a cool place as a Monterey local. Good for $10-20 gifts.

    Melody did the florals for my wedding at Mission Ranch, and I couldn't have asked for a better…read moreflorist. She put together several time-consuming installations, like the greenery on the beams and the chandeliers, as well as the chuppah. She was so easy to work with, and I am so grateful for her patience in responding to all of my email requests (there were quite a few!). From installations to flower selections, she definitely knows what looks best. She has done so many weddings at Mission Ranch, and she definitely knows how to make the already beautiful venue even more stunning. It was so reassuring to work with a florist who already knows the venue extremely well. Melody is incredibly talented, and I knew I was in good hands with her from the get-go. She is very organized and personable, and helped me work within my budget. One of the biggest highlights of the wedding day for me was the flowers. I love looking back on photos, and am still mesmerized by how beautiful the day was, all because of Melody's work and talent. I am so grateful that Melody was the florist for my wedding. Thank you, Melody, for all that you did to make the day so special!

    What started off as a good experience then went bad real quick but it was too late to cancel Melody…read moreas a vendor as she had a large deposit. She said she would give a portion of it back but I doubt it was enough to make sense. Plus, since I showed her pictures and asked if she could do the job and she said yes, I felt that she would do the job correct. I was beyond detailed and had a binder of pictures of the flowers I wanted. I sent pictures to her email after our final meeting to ensure she knew exactly what I wanted. (due to covid we went through 4 wedding plans). In multiple emails her attitude was horrible to me. As a client I felt disrespected and like someone was trying to discipline me for telling her what I wanted. I am a paying customer. I specifically said I didn't want any yellow in my flowers (yellow in my white roses - some white roses have a yellow tint). I wanted mauve roses not purple. I got purple and pink roses. PURPLE AND PINK!! Two colors I absolutely hate. When I saw my flowers at rehearsal, I thought it was a joke and thought it was just a mix up and thought that maybe my mother in law asked her to do something different. My flowers got delivered on the wedding day, mind you Melody didn't even come over to say hello to me - she dropped the flowers and ran. I looked at my wedding planner and cried and said these can't be my flowers. The greenery looked dead. The flowers looked awful and the colors were 100% wrong. I hated my bouquet but had to use it. I had my photographer's assistant try to re do it to make it look better. My bridesmaids were picking out greenery from their bouquets because the flowers looked so bad. She did do 3 large arrangements for dinner which I liked (minus some of the flower colors) but thats all I can say I liked. I hated the flowers so much - we didn't use any flowers in ANY photos. Except me walking down the aisle and my bridesmaids. I didn't want pink and purple flowers in my wedding photos. I asked for a refund but Melody said no. Of course. Didn't think she would say yes. I know COVID had a part in florals and what not, melody did let me know smilax was frozen over - which I had asked another florist and they said they can get it. If Melody would've communicated that hey I went to market and they dont have the colors you want I would've been sad but understood and switched the plan within a couple of hours. I am open to that and understand COVID and Mothers day weekend. I get it but there was NO communication. Honestly a horrible experience in which so much money was spent. I believe the tab was around $4,500.00. Flowers was the one thing I cared about to help set the tone of a soft and romantic wedding and she completely failed to do that as well - had a horrible attitude with me the entire time. Melody can do nice arrangements, dont get me wrong. They were arranged nice but lacked what I asked for. I am a pretty easy going person and I'm matter of fact, and show pictures to confirm what I want so I wont be disappointed. I know there's room for error and I get that, we're human but this was way too much disappointment. Do not hire any florist for a big event without seeing a floral mock up! Huge lesson learned.
