This place is AWESOME! Cool, unique items that you can't pass up. They also ask that customers wear masks for everyone's safety and I totally appreciate that. read more

Hard working Adrian does well with personality , musical talent, and her penchant for the unique and esoteric. ANDY

This is my first stop when I go gift shopping. They have the cutest curios and cards I could imagine. There are great zero waste Beaty products like shave cream bars that keep me coming back. Always happy to see Zoltar and get my smudge stick fix. read more

I usually really like this shop and shop here frequently but my most recent experience was pretty bad. The customer service was basically non existent. I brought a couple friends in from out of town and we were not greeted at all when we walked in, however while we were there I was interested in a traveling bar set which the woman behind the counter told me wasn't for sale. I mentioned that there was a price on it and she brought it down for me to look at. I thought it would make a great Christmas gift for my boyfriend and noticed that there were a few others on the other side of the shop, but higher up, that I liked a bit more. The employee told me she wasn't able to get them down at the time, which is fine, but then I was offered no other option... Maybe to leave a number to be contacted when they could be taken down? Or even a time that would be good for me to check back to see if I could view the item then...? I usually like to shop local and most likely would have bought there but because it seemed like the employee has no interest in helping me and making a sale over $100, I ended up buying online that same evening instead. I am not writing this review to throw someone under the bus but if I was a shop owner I would like to know if my employees were basically being paid to sit and stare at walls and nothing more. read more

A tiny shop full of unique, quirky treasures! Look carefully :)

Panic and Swoon is the perfect little shop for Placerville. The lovely owner has a wonderful eye for unique odds and ends. It's the perfect place to find gifts or to treat-yo-self. I highly recommend it! read more

See all

This shop is amazing and Adrienne is talented beyond words. An eclectic mix of fun things I love- and the best customer service I've experienced anywhere. I'll be back! Ps. There's an online site if you need a fix... I know I did! read more

Best little gift shop on Main Street in Placerville! You can tell each item is carefully curated. It is my go to store for birthday gifts, cards and fun things for myself! I love to check in from time to time to see what is new! Such unique and lovely options for all gifting ideas!! The owner is delightful and friendly! There is a darling little play area tucked away for children and toddlers. This little shop is a gem and you'll find something for everyone on your list right here! A single mom owns the shop so be sure to check her hours or just go on weekends in the later afternoon! You'll be glad you did! read more

One of the best spots on Main St Placerville! Quirky gifts, pretty things, delightful objects and lots of fun things to look at. Friendly people and the best, best, best part: an owner who, not only didn't shame me with his eyeballs for bringing a toddler (okay, two toddlers) into his store, but had a secret special kid-friendly area complete with books and toys and crayons tucked in the corner that kept them occupied for all the time I spent in the store. I tell you, after spending the better part of the afternoon on Main St, I dropped some dough on only this shop, not only because they had the most worthy items, but because it was the only place I could look around without frantically trying to get my kids to not knock anything over. Also, if you follow them on instagram, you get a free shop logo sticker. Win! Loved this place and will be back. read more

Such a fun store! Lots of unique and fun items, whether you're shopping for yourself like I was, or gifts- I definitely intend to come back when looking for cool gifts for my friends and family. The owner was SO friendly and kind, and patient with my three year old! Despite being full of small/breakable items- it is absolutely kid friendly! They have a little hidden play room full of toys and books to entertain the kiddos while you shop- my daughter loved it and was it bummed that we had to leave, lol. Check out the candles- the campfire and gardenia both smell heavenly!! read more

Pretty cool little place. I emphasize "little" and it's pretty packed with stuff. I found a couple albums, one of which I had been searching for so I was pretty pleased. She revealed that her husband raids the Heavy Metal from them before she puts them out which was a little disappointing. read more

We were about to wrap up looking around downtown Placerville, and dropped into this shop. We're very glad we did. It's a super cool store - packed floor to ceiling with cool, interesting things. Vintage and new mixed, old records, art cards, jewelry, camping items, shaving supplies, fermenting kits, polaroid cameras and supplies, incense, kids stuff ... So much cool stuff, very reasonable prices, and the owner was really nice to talk to. It's a tiny shop, but I'm pretty sure we spent an hour in there shopping, and I'm sure there was more cool stuff tucked away somewhere that we missed. We'll definitely be back next time we're in Placerville. read more

All of the goodies and gifts stocked here are so sweet and original, and the store is very reasonably priced unlike a lot of stores of its kind. It has a beautiful vibe and is a wonderful place to find cool gifts or fun pieces for yourself. The owner is also very kind and will help with anything. 10/10 i would recommend anyone to stop in here! read more

panic and swoon really is a shop for the people, a modern general store! even though placerville gets sorta touristy locals can come and shop for practical goods here, (like kitchen wares and body care) while still finding the perfect gift for a best friend, or even themselves. selection is eclectic, enchanting, useful, from tarot to outdoor goods--- def recommend for anyone looking to experience a fresh part of the scene on main street... read more
