This Strapping location is in a perfect spot in Midtown, whenever we're enjoying a fun walk around the area, or passing through it's easy to stop in for a quick look around. 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. read more

After running by it several times, I made an assumption that there'd only be LGBTQ+ related items in Strapping. After a coworker told me I had to check it out, I realized I was so wrong. 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. read more

I got my sauce and a sagittarius necklace that was way too cute . Overall all this is a cute and fun store to visit . read more

Not your traditional gift shop! I love this local gift shop with a serious sense of humor! It's a great place to buy some wacky gag gifts, creative decorations or some unique special items. I personally love their rotating and hilarious collection of cards, stickers, post cards and wrapping paper. This is one of my favorite little shops in town! read more

Strapping - The funniest little gift shop - Jewelry Near Me - Sacramento, California

This was my first time coming to this gift shop. I love the convenience of it being located on the corner of the street in the middle of Sacramento. The store itself has lots of variety for special gifts including stickers, socks, candies, and other things. The cashier who was working at the time gave very good service and was super helpful in any questions that I had. I would love to come back here again and spend a little more time. I had no problem with any of the price because I want to support people's art! Anyway, be sure that if you are in this part of town that you stop by and give it a visit. read more

Giving 2 stars for a few different reasons - one, went today at 5:45pm and it was all locked up, even though this yelp listing has the location open until 7, and the sign on the door said 6pm. Besides the early close with no sign and the hours of operation in two locations being wrong, this location has had barely any inventory for months. I still wanted to try and give them my business today but guess they didn't want it. read more

The merch here is very unique and fun. You will definitely find something. Very welcoming to everyone!

Oh heck. This shop is filled with fun, funky items all curated by the owner, Susan. She has a good, clean fun, wicked sense of humor with a punch of sass. You are not going to find Snow Angel figurines and lace Dollie's here. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with owning them (I do). Just sayin the shop has inventory with a more modern vibe than that. They have greeting cards, socks (men and women sizes), stickers, mugs, kitchen towels, magnets, notepads,candles, pillows, etc., etc. etc. Tons of stuff priced at various levels that won't break the bank. Most of the items are crafted and sourced from local businesses and artists. The meaning of buying local is pumped up a level here. Awesome! The shop address is 1731 L Street right on the corner. LGBTQIA friendly. It is in the heart of the Midtown Sacramento Handle district with nearby restaurants, pubs, and shops. The Nudge Eco store is around the corner. read more

Love, love, love this store. Perfect for gifts and if you just wanna treat yourself. The service is also great, everytime I've been in there, everyone was so helpful. The goods are also well priced, it's not one of those stores where everything is expensive, I feel like the prices are fair! Heard someone gave this store a bad review so wanted to make up for it cause this store is amazing! Also, as a candy connosaur they have some great options that I can't find elsewhere. read more

They always make me feel welcomed here. I always come here to find a gift for loved ones and I never leave empty handed. 10/10

This store is so cute! There is definitely something here for everyone. The staff are so friendly and wonderful. So glad I stumbled into this place while walking around. I'm just visiting for the day and I cannot wait to check out all the stores! The staff gave me a card with all the locations, and this will now be a staple for me in terms of stops in Sacramento. read more

We were walking by and decided to stop by because everything do so freaking cute. It's a small store and it's right on the corner so you can't miss it. It's a small store but there is so much they have. This is a great store to get someone a unique gift. I purchased my nephew a gift and my husband a cactus tin mug. My son of course wanted everything but I did let him get a plastic dinosaur. What I loved most is my son was undecided the attendance at the front waited for my son to make a decision then rang me up. I really appreciate extremely great customer service especially when we live in such a rush world that they had the patience to wait. Definitely a 5 start and will recommend this place. read more

I'm addicted to this store! They have the cutest novelty gifts, clothing, accessories, furniture and decor. It's my first stop when I'm looking for a unique and personal gift. Their merchandise is suited for my *ahem* wicked send of humor. I could spend hours in there just giggling at all the merch. Whether it's a funny card, stickers or clever notebooks, every item I've bought from Strapping has been a hit. My nieces are into stickers right now. I love to peruse their selection to get fun ones to give my girls. I owe my "Cool Auntie" rep to Susan, the owner, and this store. Strapping is located at the heart of the Handle District. It's either a quick stop before dinner or a leisurely walk after brunch. It's close to so many awesome eateries and restaurants. Once you walk in, it will become a must stop when you're in the area. read more

Such a cute gift shop! Huge selection of stickers and silly gifts. I went in for a few Sacramento souvenirs, and there was a good shelf of options! read more

Strapping's second and newer location is just as appealing and original as the first in Oak Park. It's a store dedicated to thoughtful gifts, knick knacks, cards, novelties and even clothing, and it's all wonderfully selected by the team behind the scenes. This is a must-stop - especially if you're looking for that elusive gift to appease the friend who has everything. First off, applause for their adherence to keeping people safe during COVID. I waited outside briefly as they were required to keep the store to a certain minimum capacity. It's not as big as the store in Oak Park, but it still has the same selection of goodies. A lot of it is friendly and uplifting to minority communities, which I also appreciate. I ended up buying a bunch of stocking stuffers, some stickers and some cards. All things I know my fam will appreciate. Applause, again, for their sense of humor. A lot of what they select has funny messages on it. Like laugh out loud funny. It's important to select the right stock for your shelves, but it's arguably even more important to be able to laugh - especially in times like these. read more

I highly suggest stopping in this store for gifts, cards, and some fun essentials. The owners are delightful, everyone who has ever helped me is sweet, it's inclusive, darling, and it's so fun to browse. You're guaranteed to smile or giggle at least once in this shop! read more

UPDATE: Susan the owner reached out to me and asked what happened as she was at another location this day. She was very kind and apologetic about how her employee handled the situation and said that typically they let the parent decide whether or not their child wears a mask. I really hope that worker learns a lesson and doesn't treat anyone else with disrespect. What an absolute joke. I walked in here with the 3 year old I nanny after we had a nice lunch to just walk around. I asked the brunette girl working the front if she had another mask since mine just broke. She handed me two and I put one in my purse and put the other one on while I was still talking to the little boy. She interrupted me and said "put it over your nose" so I said sure and did. Mind you, I have a medical condition where it's hard for me to breathe. Then she asked me to put one on the little boy. I said he's too little. She said I'm pretty sure the rule is 2 years old. I said I'm not putting a mask on this little child?! He's 3. Then she proceeded to loudly and rudely kick me out of the store and yelled that I'm banned forever lol. For not putting a mask on a 3 year old when THEY DO NOTHING ANYWAY. It was absolutely disgusting and that girl has a lot to learn. read more

I mean, I adore this store. It's so playful and cute and has lots of great gift ideas. I'm so excited to see there's a new location so close to me because I'll definitely go for all my gift and card needs. The store is so wonderfully curated to include Sacramento-specific items as well as gay pride. Just perusing the store puts a big smile on my face. read more

Strapping - Excited to see you in the neighborhood! - Jewelry Near Me - Sacramento, California

Super cute! Service was great, amazing people and the selection of items is definitely something you won't find at most places.

I love this store!!! Anytime I'm looking for a gift I always come here first. I love how fun and creative all the items are. I can easily get lost in this store for hours just looking at all the unique stuff. read more

I am so happy to have such an amazing gift shop within walking distance (midtown location). If for some reason they don't have what you're looking for, then the Oak Park location is likely to have it. Each of their storefronts are very welcoming and have inclusive vibes. All are welcome (especially dogs). My dog Jefe knows when we are a block away and will drag me in because he knows who has the treats. While he is scarfing it down, I get to look around and shop. The service is above and beyond. There has been an occasion when the midtown location didn't have something but they knew that Oak Park did. They offered to bring it over for me! Wow! I highly recommend shopping here for gifts for your friends and loved ones. The selection of thoughtful cards and gifts very broad. You can find something for everyone. The prices are extremely reasonable. I always look forward to the holiday season. It's a great one stop shop for all of your gift needs! I recommend starting early! I have seen the store cleaned out around Christmas which was an amazing sight to see! Support Small Business!!! read more

Great gift shop! Went to both locations in the Sacramento area and had a blast looking through their selections each time. Staff are ALWAYS super fun, chill, and great to talk to. Though they offer help, I just take my time going around the store hoping to find some nice gifts/trinkets for friends. They have things ranging from cool coasters to "white paw" dog toys - both of which I've gotten for friends. If you need a cool, thoughtful, or funny gift for someone, I would recommend going to Strapping! Prices are also fair, which is always a big plus. read more

I love this store! I try to visit this store whenever I am in town. There are many cute and unique things in here for gifts and the employees are always friendly . read more

BEST SHOP IN SAC!!! Seriously, they win awards for being so cool!!!! The shop carries fun and classy gifts, kid toys, and home decor that you would never find anywhere else. It's a small business owned by amazing people that becomes your favorite spot the minute you walk in. They carry fun things in every price range and sell everything from tea towels and mugs to Herschel Backpacks! Seriously go visit. You won't regret it. It's like a great little happy safe haven in these crazy times. read more

I love this store. I'm so excited that they opened a location in Midtown just a block away from my second favorite business in Sacramento, Ginger Elizabeth. Strapping sells the cutest, most fun gifts and decor, and they've got all the Golden Girls and unicorn items that my heart desires! There's something for everyone here especially if you've got a good sense of humor. (I bought a tea towel that says "I'm a lady in the street but a freak in the buffet" lol.) Things I've bought from Strapping: greeting cards, socks, tea towels, mugs, stickers, pens, pouches, decorative pillows, lunch bag, and magnets, among many other things. I recommend checking out their Instagram page, @strappingstore, to see the latest arrivals. There's also a link to their online store on their IG page, with options for store pickup and nationwide shipping. If you're in the area though make sure to stop by as they have products in store that they don't sell online. The Midtown shop is smaller than the Oak Park location, but it's bright and super cute inside. And did I mention it's only a block away from Ginger Elizabeth?! :p They've got an automatic hand sanitizer dispenser and social distance markers on the ground by the register which I think is awesome. A really cool thing about the store is that they support the local community in so many different ways. For example, today they are donating 10% of all sales to the California Youth Forum for students with disabilities. Also, they have the best shop owner, super friendly and funny and I legit feel star struck when I see Susan in store lol. I highly recommend Strapping for all your gift-giving needs (gifting yourself included)! read more

Love this place!! Such a fun atmosphere and rare items. I always shop here for my "Sacramento" items.

Midtown needs more stores like Strapping; they are what makes the grid so fun and eclectic. They sell an assortment of topical and funny gifts and home goods. The perfect place to grab that off-color or humorous gift for your friend or significant other. I regularly chuckle to myself when perusing the store. They recently opened a third store at Ice Blocks (the OG is in Oak Park), so keep an eye out for them there as well!! read more

This store carries a bunch of cool random trinkets/gifts. Loved the vibe and the owner Susan was so friendly and sweet. My friend and I randomly walked by and decided to walk in to look around. Such a great place to buy gifts for friends or even yourself. The have some home decorating stuff too. Definitely recommend stopping by. read more

I'm in love with this place!! I passed it on my way to the freeway and had to stop. Best decision ever!!

Whenever I'm in the dowtown area, I stop by this store. This place has so many treasures and is ever changing. The only con I have is leaving with an empty bank account. read more

Greatest store ever! Incredibly wonderful store. Everything you can imagine. Super friendly and helpful staff! Highly recommend!!!!

I LOVE this place! Whenever I need a unique gift for someone I come here. It's very welcoming and super inclusive. I went in today to grab some more stickers for my water bottles and my goddaughter found fart bombs. I totally don't claim her if she gets in trouble for setting them off . read more

This is such a great little store. They are dog-friendly. They always have water out for the pups and are so excited to see dogs. The owner is very nice and so are all of the people who work there. Not to mention you'll find so many cute items! I love to go in there and browse every few weeks on my walks just to see what they have curated. read more

Love love love this place! It's a great place to find fun gifts. I've found if I don't know what to get someone I can go here and find something great (I usually leave with a couple things for myself too). Highly recommend. Check out both locations too cause they have some different inventory. read more

What an incredible selection of gifts and tchotchkes! Whenever I need a quick gift and a witty card, I stop by Strapping. The staff is always so helpful and professional. read more

Wow what a cool store! The people here are super super nice! They welcomed me and my pup with open arms, it was a great experience and I spent way too much money! read more

I've loved shopping at Strapping for years! My dog loves it, my mom loves it, we all love it. I always get one of the unique dog toys for my pup and a sticker or two at LEAST. It's hard to pick because there's so much cool stuff. Great selection of mugs for the collector in your life (yourself). If you're on the fence about Strapping just go you'll love it. I've been to the midtown location the most but also love shopping in Oak Park, and I just need to check out the Ice Blocks location to maybe decide on a favorite? Who can decide. read more

Love, love, love this shop. This is my go to shop anytime I need some great gift ideas, and especially love all the unique b day cards. I just got my boyfriend some last minute gifts and Susan made me look good and wrapped it up so pretty in some awesome banana wrapping paper. They also have some great home decor. This new location on L is perfect walking distance to so many spots, so you can shop and then go grab a beverage across the street. Definitely check this place out, and support local. read more
