Heath Ceramics in Sausalito is a personal favorite of mine: a design focused retail destination…read morefeaturing Heath pottery, decorative homewares, and iconic ceramic tiles. Founded in 1948 by visionary ceramicist Edith Heath, the brand is an icon of California modern design. The items here are undeniably expensive, but the timeless design and constantly updating of color palettes make each piece feel special. In 2003, the company was revitalized by husband-and-wife product design and business team, who thoughtfully reinvented the brand. Heath is a great example of how with a good steward, classic design can be successfully revived and made modern. I find Heath to be a good spot for finding special design focused gifts.

I grew up with Heathware bowls, plates, and other pieces. While I've always loathed the noise they…read moremake when stacked together or when cutlery is moved across them, the pieces are very beautiful. I stopped by today, with my mom, to buy my sister some gifts for her wedding. I loved the new colors I saw - they had some yellow bowls and bulb vases that I was seriously tempted to buy, in addition to the other items. What I didn't love was the lack of customer service. I don't expect or want to be waited on hand and foot, but a simple acknowledgement would have been nice, rather than having multiple employees just watching us the entire time. I ended up purchasing from the seconds section and buying less than anticipated due to the overall vibe. I try to be understanding, and perhaps something was off for them today. Regardless, I was so uncomfortable in the store that I waited outside while our items were gift wrapped.

The shop owner is super friendly and gives excellent customer service.

Additionally if you want a labubu ornament, this would be your spot as they unexpectedly had two varieties. The service was hands off but polite and I enjoyed browsing so we will definitely be returning when we're a bit closer to the holidays!

I'm taking one star away because the sweatshirt had a strong perfume scent that gave me a headache.

The owner, Teri,…read moredoes a wonderful job curating unique treasures at great prices, so it's easy to discover something you didn't even know you were looking for. What makes this destination even better is that there are actually three shops to explore: a women's clothing boutique, a home décor and gift store, and a men's store just across the street. We visit all three because each has its own vibe and great finds. The women's shop has a wonderful selection of hats, dresses, purses, and accessories, while the home décor store is full of unique pieces. The men's store is definitely worth a stop, too. If you enjoy treasure hunting, unique gifts, stylish clothing, or decorating your home without paying retail prices, this is a must-visit. Shopping local while finding something special makes the experience even better. We always look forward to going back!
