First of all, I want to begin by saying that this is a fun novelty shop. What they have here is a whole lot of everything that you never knew you wanted or needed. They have great items to give as gifts or to just buy for yourself. You may find that item that you never knew you needed. But, the problem I have with the shop is with either the owner or the person who was operating the cash register. My wife and I came in here. We were just walking down Haight Street and she loves these kind of shops. So, we decided to stop in and check it out again. As we were shopping, I noticed that there was this young boy at the counter. I would guess that he was about ten years old. The young boy was trying to buy three pins. He had given the the person at the cash register a dollar bill and all of his change. But, the woman rudely told him, that he didn't have enough money and to come back when he did. Hearing this, I asked how much did the young boy need to buy those pins? The woman told me fifty cents. I happily gave the boy the money. He thanked me, smiled, and walked out the door with his three pins. I'm sorry, but if a local business owner, or business employee, can't offer a child fifty cents to make him happy, there's really something wrong with this business and/or this business's operational ideology. If it's the the owner reading this, does fifty cents really make a difference to your bottom line?. If this is the employee that treated that young boy in manner, let me say, that's really the wrong way to treat customers, particularly when they're young people moving their way up though the world. Show some compassion! read more

Definitely worth a visit if you are spending a day in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood in San Francisco! The owner, Matias, was working the afternoon we visited and he is the best! He has curated a beautiful collection of cool, colorful, and unique items- and he told us he also designed some! I bought one of cards and it's so touching, a sympathy card for a friend. I also scored an amazing deal on a day planner, half price! Such a fun shop, picked up 5-6 more souvenirs from our day in San Francisco! Loved this shop!! read more

I fell in love with this place years ago when I was shopping for my then not-even-born-yet niece and found some super cute baby clothes that were also organic cotton. They have a ton of things here, stickers, prayer candles, pins, scented candles (my fav are the Pacific candle co Ojai lavender and wild herb tonic ones!), soaps, greeting cards, puzzles, and jelly cat plushies, among many other things. It's a great gift shop in my neighborhood that I really enjoy browsing on a semi-regular basis. To the reviewers saying the owner is "aggressive," I can't help but giggle because she is so nice! She's just a normal person running a business and she cares about it and the community deeply. And she loves to play up the sales. That's literally just her. She will even try to sell up me and she knows that I'm a regular and going to buy something regardless haha. Some of yall definitely aren't from the city or live here because if you can't tell someone trying to hype their products versus "rude" that's on you. Also there is definitely a sign or two that say "no pictures please". It's fun to browse but this is a hard city to make it in as a store owner so be respectful of their wishes. It's not hard. Tl;dr: love this place. Great for gifts for locals and tourists alike. Tons of small gifts and basically a in-person Etsy store. read more

I don't recommend coming here. I went here with my friends and was interested in looking at the Jelly Cats. I was going to take a picture of it since it they had some Halloween ones. However the lady said "No picture please." From there, I out my phone away since she didn't want pictures. Once she said that she went to the register and said loudly, "I'm so tired of people taking pictures, it's so annoying." If you don't want pictures, then have a sign or something. I don't mind listening to what you say, but saying that in front of a customer is not acceptable. I was thinking of buying something, but I'll rather take my business elsewhere where I feel appreciated from the owner. read more

I normally don't leave negative reviews like this but my lady visit left me with such a bad taste in my mouth that I left the store. I will add that I've been here several times when in town and have purchased things here before even if the price seemed a bit unreasonable . As soon as I walked in I was approached and asked if I needed help. The women's approach was a bit aggressive but I didn't think much about it. A few minutes later she asked me again if I needed help. By that time I figured she thought I was stealing just by her attitude. There was one other couple in the store. They walked around , admitted a few items and left. As soon as they walked out the door, the woman who approached me said "great more browsers! That's just what I need for my small business" . Her attitude was so ugly and her statement was so off putting that I put my stuff down and left. I understand how hard it is to be a business owner but come on lady! Wait until no one is around to hear you. I won't be coming to this location again read more

I went in with my friends and was treated TERRIBLY! The lady that works there is so rude and made a sly remark as we left the store because we didn't buy anything..Safe to say I'm never coming back!!! read more

service was awful !!! i went in to just browse and see what they had available, at first the lady was nice and greeted me but once she realized i wouldn't be purchasing her attitude changed and she said a very sly remark "oh so you're not gonna buy anything" and not to come in if i was just gonna browse. worst customer service ever !!! read more

We walked into the store, excited to see all of the Jellycats in stock and as we were leaving, the lady working there being extremely rude under her breath was saying how us coming in to browse and not shop was a waste of her time. Since when did browsing a store with their doors open become an inconvenience? If you're that unhappy with sales not working out, maybe change that stank attitude! read more

I love this place! A must see if you're visiting the Haight or live here. I stop by every time I visit SF, to see what delightful tchotchkes and creations they have. The last time I was here, I got a few pop icon drink coasters, but they were out of the gorgeous Freddie Mercury. When I got home I could not remember the store name or address (downside of paying cash). I looked all over trying to find the store again to order online. Google maps to the rescue! I finally tracked then down by walking the street on Maps. Flash forward to me finally getting around to ordering months later when I moved into my new apartment. My online order was simple and not expensive, but they actually hand wrote a little thank you card to me nevertheless, and added a little gift of Japanese skin cream. It was such a typical SF gesture of kindness and positivity and makes me miss my favorite city even more! To fans of the Notorious RBG, they have a lot of "I Dissent" and other RBG themed items in additional to rock icon items. Sending cyberhugs and positivity your way! Thank you! read more

My favorite is a fun little gift store on Haight St that you'd be hard-pressed not to find something you'll enjoy. Some of my favorite items are the ghibli plush and related pieces (you can never have enough totoro in your life.) They also have some good representation on Star Wars (baby yoda!) and other pop-culture related things. Not my cup of tea, but for those who it is, they also have a whole wall that's fairly dedicated to babies/small children. Finally, I must also say that the service is quite good, with every staff member always going out of their way to say hi and make sure you're able to find everything you're looking for. Shop local and support Haight St merchants! read more

Don't usually review gift shops but I liked this cute and unique store. I like artists and arts of many kinds. On vacation I keep an eye out for affordable local crafts like cards and stickers, or small handwork like clocks or switch-plates or garden trinkets. My Favorite has local art and craft pieces like cards and stickers. Local artist's cards are fun to shop for while traveling. Sometimes ou get to meet interesting artists or shopkeepers with a story. The cards don't usually cost more than Papyrus or Hallmark and you get to put your money in a local artist's pocket. The art is always fun and quirky, they are great for memories and make great birthday, holiday, and thank-you cards. I keep a box at home. My Favorite made some fun contributions. read more

This store is a knick-knack gift shop with a new twist. It has an interesting collection of gifts. It's not supposed to be a souvenir shop, but it has some gifts and collectibles. It's a toy shop and a stuffed animal shop. It's cute and for babies and kids. It's like Wishbone, but it's a new store on Haight. I had fun browsing today and I decided to get a postcard for $1 and a sticker for $1. It was a Bojack Horseman sticker and an anime postcard. It's on Haight Street and the gifts are fun. read more

This is a great little gift shop in the Upper Haight, offering all kinds of cute trinkets, books for kids, cards, and even MadLibs! While some areas of the store can be a little cluttered, overall it is WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE, and the friendly employee I encountered was more than happy to help access anything out of reach! The store itself is bright, cheerful, and reasonably priced. I'll definitely be back! read more

My Favorite - This store is WHEELCHAIR-ACCESSIBLE! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - San Francisco, California

The lady that works in there cares about nothing but to sell her shit. I was shopping and kept getting interrupted to be shown something else by her and after the fourth thing she showed me , it was clear to me that she was just desperate to sell one of her things. At some point, I realized her ridiculously high prices were not worth the cute stuff (that you can just buy online by the way) she was selling. I also heard her loudly saying "Fucking stupid people, wasting my time" about the group of people that left before us, and once I politely declined her offers, she rolled her eyes and thats when her fake façade just dropped. I don't know about you, but I don't trust this bitch read more

The woman who works here is so mean. Two shoppers asked to see more prints and when they decided not to purchase the woman whispered under her breath "that was a waste of my time" a few moments later she asked me if I needed help. I politely said "I'm just looking" to which she responded "and hopefully buying" There's another location on 7th and Irving, go there instead read more

Cute store with lots of neat stuff but the person working ascended on us immediately and hounded is over and over about what we were looking for. Well, since this is a tourist like shop, we were just looking which we told her four times. We don't look sketchy, idk if she thought we were going to steal from her. She did this to everyone. It was super uncomfortable. We got out of there ASAP. We did buy one thing, and probably would have bought more but it was uncomfortable to just drop by and browse. So perhaps have an idea what you want before you go in. read more

I really like this local store. Very friendly and helpful staff. Clean store feeling safe during the pandemic to pop in to find a few Christmas gifts. Items are unique, useful, and great SF items to buy. Highly recommend this cute store read more

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE! I WILL NEVER STEP FOOT INSIDE AGAIN! RACIAL PROFILING at its finest. The store was packed full with shoppers. My family and I visited the shop last Saturday. Of course my family seemed to be the only non-white customers in the store. My daughter was holding a few stuffed animals in her arms trying to decide which we could purchase. When a woman behind the counter aggressively AND loudly asked how she could help. She then made a rude and racial comment that "We don't want to put these dolls in our mouths. We just want to be safe and not get sick." FIRST OFF, we are not hard of hearing. There was no need to speak to us as though we could not hear you or didn't understand English. SECONDLY, my daughter is nine years old; not a baby, and certainly not a toddler. She is old enough to know not to put things in her mouth. If you care about inclusiveness of all people no matter their race, color, religion, disability, sex or gender. Do not shop here. Don't allow businesses who conduct themselves negatively continue to thrive in the neighborhood. read more

Quick Instagram DM response and awesome service. I reached out to MyFavorite on Instagram to see if they had a specific item I needed last minute that I saw on their online store and which store carried it. The same morning, before opening hours, I received a response that they had it in stock in both locations. When I went later that day to purchase the last minute gift item, the staff helped me choose another item to compliment the gift plus gift packaging. Perfect! read more

I kid you not my mom said "you have such cute things" and the lady working said "ya that's why I'm wondering why don't you have anything in your hands" and when we left my mom said "thank you so much" and she said "thanks.. for nothing" honestly shook at how awful of an attitude and how unprofessional this woman was for NO reason. Def not "my favorite" and will not be supporting this business in the future lol. Rudest person I've encountered in a long time. read more

This place is so much fun! A dish towel that said "B*tch, I am the secret ingredient" caught my eye from the store's window, and I couldn't resist visiting. I love the local art that's showcased here too. If you like quirky housewares, this is the place to go. read more

This place is amazing!! I live just around the corner, and I'm SO grateful My Favorite opened up 6+ months ago. *Fantastic* place to get gifts for loved ones, friends, and even yourself. ;) DOPE greeting card selection for every occasion. The owner is always super friendly and v helpful as well. Do yourself a favor and check out this lovely shop- you won't regret it! read more

My favorite store! They carry these adorable Jellycat Amuseable stuffed animals that we collect and always have a new selection. Very kind owner. read more

When into the store with my girlfriend after we saw a huge plush Pickle Rick in the window. Once inside, we discovered a fun assortment of art, books, cards, stickers and toys. We were also greeted by one of the owners who was very knowledgeable about everything they sold on-site. She knew about the artists, how the art was made, which items were most popular and even knew that The Art of Rick and Morty book we were looking at contained all the art from the first 3 season and that the new season was just around the corner! You usually don't find people who know anything about the store they are working in anymore. Super friendly, super helpful! Love supporting local businesses that take the time to really bring quality items and services to its customers! Definitely will be going back. Thanks! read more

It's one stop shopping! I go in there and can spend hours, they have the best gifts. They have cards and small gifts that have the best pop culture references, humorous, political and super funny. They have it all! I've shopped online with them, super easy and fast! But I prefer shopping in store, the owners are friendly and so knowledgeable about the product. Definitely my favorite gift shop store in the city! read more

Super cite gift shop with something for everyone. The woman in the shop was very enthusiastic and helpful

There are cute things in this shop but the old woman working there was extremely unprofessional. My friends and I came in and she followed us around, sometimes even standing over our shoulders and watching us. She asked us if we needed anything three or four times. It seemed she was worried we would steal. As a person of color, I felt very uncomfortable and irritated because it seemed like racial profiling. Seeing how a few other reviews have made the same complaints, I'm not sure if this was the case, but nonetheless it was an unpleasant experience. If I could give zero stars I would. read more

Cute place in Haight/Ashbury that doesn't feel like a junk tourist shop/trap. Great selection of goods that's uniquely SF. Their small but focused men's grooming and candles are great. Great place for gifts and goods. read more

Super cute stuff. My friend loves stickers, stuffed animals, jewelry. Great for gifts or yourself too!

My Favorite is a great addition to the Haight/Cole Valley neighborhood. Great selection of cute, unique, and hilarious gifts for friends and family of all ages. My daughter has one of their Octopus stuffies, and LOVES it. It is super super soft. The kids' toys are always a hit with my boys. Love checking out what new stuff they have at My Favorite everytime I visit. read more

I am from the valley and I hope to visit this store very soon!

Super-cute gift shop in the Haight. Tiny, but it contains a variety of gifts and cards you won't likely find elsewhere. I impulsively stopped in to get greeting cards on-the-fly and found an assortment from snarky to thoughtful, funny to artful. The shopkeeper (owner?) was outwardly friendly, helpful and downright charming. Check em out. read more

I love this place! The owners are amazing, and remember me every time I stop by. They have a comprehensive collection of the snarkiest kitchen accessories, everything RBG, llama art and ceramics, as well as a lovely wall of baby gifts, which includes unique board books and toys. read more
