A little chocolate, a little self care stuff, something to remember Hollister with... It's great to see all the things made in our beautiful area be showcased!

Love this little shop. This is definitely the place to come for a unique and local gift…read more 1) items are local and quality 2) stellar customer service, she even puts the items in a "gift bag" for you. 3) located conveniently downtown.

Absolutely loved visiting CGR Farmhouse! I stopped in with my mother-in-law just to look around and…read morewe ended up staying forever! You could easily spend hours here discovering all the little treasures. Every corner has something unique and thoughtfully curated. The owner is so warm, friendly, and genuinely helpful, you can tell she puts so much love into creating a space that appeals to all styles and people. Such a charming small-town gem. I can't wait to visit again and find more gems!

I finally got a chance to head into this store I've been eyeing every time I visit Hollister and it…read moreexceeded my expectations! The store was so thoroughly organized, stocked, and themed; each section made it super easy to navigate through to what I would like. The staff is really friendly and made sure to check up on me as I perused and even mentioned their Mother's Day giveaway! This is the perfect place for gifts.

If you're from out of town-make the trip down to Hollister to this cozy little candle shop!!…read more Great spot for gifts, no matter if you're looking for a guy or a girl. For candles, tons of different scents to check out. An equally large selection of soaps and lotions as well. Everything is handmade and when you check out, everything will be nicely gift wrapped for you. The staff is also super engaging and helpful if you would like some ideas on finding something special.

They offer free delivery if you're in town!! And curbside pick up!!…read more I have really bad asthma and allergies and I only use beeswax candles because of this so I really appreciated that there was this store in town. Beeswax candles don't leave any residue and it's a natural air purifier. Add essential oils and you've got the best of both worlds. I've tried the candles, candle melts and the lotions and I've loved them all. Everything smells soo nice in this store! The candles last a long time but the candle melts last almost forever. I actually left some samples of candle melts in my car once and it had melted because it was so hot out, but good thing it was still in a plastic bag so it was fine. But it made my car smell soooo nice! I even forgot what that sample was but it smells like honey and some yummy goodness! So I got a little container and used that for my car freshener. It's way better than using those chemical laden car fresheners. Everyone who rides in my car tells me how amazing my car smells. It's been over a year and I still have it. I've been needing some more candles at home and so I checked if they were open. I ordered some online and sent an email because they offer free delivery if you're in Hollister. After I checked out online, I received them in less than an hour! I love it! And they wrap everything up like it's a present! I love the product and the service! What more can you ask for?

I held my daughter's Quinciañera at Swank Farms Venue! July 2025. Here are the pros & cons of this…read morevenue: Pros: - Beautiful Indoor/Outdoor Venue with plenty of parking - I was able to bring my own caterer - I had access to space from 8am to 11:30pm Cons: - Venue Manager/Owner was looking over mine & my guests shoulder all the time (this was stressful) - I paid for 2 bartenders (neither of which appeared to have bartending experience - I selected only beer for my guests (made 4 different beer selections one month in advance). The beers I selected were not provided to my guests. No one ever mentioned my guests would be offered a full bar. I had drink tickets for my guests; when they went to the bar they were under the impression the tickets were good for any drink, bartenders had to tell my guests they were only good for beer, the lines backed up, there was confusion. Did I mention guests were charged $15 for margaritas that were made with the cheapest tequila (Jose Cuervo.) - Two weeks before event my music sound tech wanted to confirm the venue had sufficient electricity/power capacity. I asked the manager/owner & she was unable to confirm for me. I had my sound tech call her directly since I'm not a sound engineer & I wanted to make sure they had the electrical power needed for the day of the event. The venue manager/owner was rude to him & hung up on him. The day of the event sure enough; we are about to dance the most important song (mother/daughter dance) and power goes out! Frustrating! - The venue has security cameras in every single angle of the barn, except the bathrooms & upstairs middle dressing room. Oh but the manager/owner made sure to personally do a check-in of yes the women's bathroom & the upstairs areas. So unnecessary & intruding on privacy. - I paid one security guard which venue hired. Guy appeared to have been picked up off the street (no uniform or badge) - Once event was over at 11:30pm, I had to make sure venue was clean, owner/manager kept on calling me because I was going over the 30 minutes allotted otherwise she would have to pay her staff over time. - I found dead mice inside the venue a few days before our event. If I'm following my obligations contractually why are you micromanaging the event. This was so stressful & dont think I would ever use this venue again.
