The mall was decorated for the holidays with plenty of Christmas trees and reefs, from the Ice Rink on 7th Street to the west end parking lot by Holiday Inn and the underground walkway to Old Sacramento. I enjoyed visiting the booths, and stopping by the Kings store to see the new merchandise. There are plenty of public parking lots with two that I know of on J Street, L Street and 3rd Street entrances that validate at restaurants and some stores in DOCO. Some validate for 2 hours, some for 90 minutes to cushion the total cost of parking. I have always loved this area in downtown Sacramento.

They're dog friendly, so we often bring our dog in with us. This store is packed with great items and they span a lot of interests, so there's a little something for everyone. From useful items, to quirky ones this is the perfect spot to find a gift or that special item for your home. We've gotten local Sacramento themed gifts, cute mugs, cards, and even t-shirts and tote bags. They carry seasonal items as well as staples, so it's worth stopping in regularly to browse and find new gems to love.

This place is chock full of fun for the whole family. Well, maybe there's a few things I wouldn't want my grandma and little cousins to see. But nothing in here is going to hurt anyone and you'll probably laugh out loud several times walking through this store. In fact, this will be exactly where I go next time I need to send my sister a card. The folks working here are also super nice.

They have gifts for every taste and you never know what you're going to find that you just have to have for your own place. With selections of items from jewelry and stickers to ceramics, candles, lotions, children's items, and more. Some of my favorite items to browse are the candles for the latest seasonal scents, the local items, and the ceramics. The best part is that they refresh inventory and bring in seasonal items so everytime you visit there's something new to look at. On top of the great variety of items for purchase, they partner with local businesses for events and experiences where you can craft, learn more about products, and get hands on. They're bringing the community together while uplifting other small businesses. The team here is always friendly, and if it's not the owner it's typically another small business owner so you can make small talk and learn something new. The pricing ranges based on the products and brands that are carried but I've found some great deals and feel like all the products I've purchased here are well worth the cost.

We were wondering around Midtown looking for a latte for my husband when we stumbled upon this…read moreplace. It's located two store fronts down from Zocalo next to the Wine Bar. I've been here a few times and wondered if they were still in business and there, they were. They haven't changed a bit. They are tastefully decorated in living room sets that are retro. We are shopping for a love seat so my husband sat in all of them hoping to find one. He liked the red minimalist one the most. The only thing is it looks like it might fold out to a futon, but it doesn't and we really need one for when my mother in law comes to visit and other visitors. They have so many items that I kept pointing to and saying "We used to have one of these." The most memorial items were the Pyrex, which my parents still have and a rotary phone which my parents still have just in case the electricity goes out. They also have the push button one and my parents have one of those too. My parents request to keep their land line and just have the local plan which they use to call their friends. They are afraid the power will go out and they won't be able to call anyone for help. And the power does go out in the winter on a regular basis where they live so this is really good for them. The new phones all use electricity. This shop also has lots of cases of jewelry and their broaches were on display on a mine mannequin. They were very sparkly, but I didn't have the time to really browse as the furniture took up most of my time. As we were finishing up my husband made the comment that he really needs to bring his sister and her husband here as she loves these types of store. They are planning on visiting so we'll be taking her here and to Zocalo too as shopping bring on a appetite.
