Just take a stroll around the town square and you'll find smiling Nepalese faces in many of the restaurants and businesses. This is one such place, a cute gift shop with a nice selection of beautiful jewelry, crazy colorful clothes, teas, pillows, hippie purses, awesome metal statues, felted moccasins, gongs(!), Himalayan pop CDs, you name it. It's nestled in probably the prettiest secret alleyway in all of Sonoma (Place de Pyrenees), next to a fantastic Nepalese restaurant and across from a lively Irish pub. Stroll down here, take a gander, have a pint, grab some momos, relax in the shade.. Soak in that lovely Sonoma milieu with your newly acquired pair of Himalayan silver Wonder Woman bracelets.

I ended up buying a candle, a "lump of khol" soap, cast of stones for energy and vitality, lemongrass and sage lotion, and this watermelon mint facial refresher, which I'm bummed that I left in the hotel...it really worked! So though it is a boutique for women, there are some things that men will find interesting. The staff was really friendly! This is really a fun place to come in to!

The other side sells living room items... furniture, throws, pillows, home decor, small art pieces, and reproduction artwork. Oh I can't forget to tell you about the outdoor art sculptures which are displayed in the back yard. The sculptures are whimsical and artsy. They carry sofas and living room pieces. The furniture is of quality and comes with prices matching that quality. I enjoy shopping for the framed reproduction paintings and home decor.

Just as fun to say, it's fun to browse even if you're not a home chef. They have brand name, quality cookware, bakeware, and kitchen items. Gifts and gadgets. Basic items (inexpensive) to "what do I do with this" specialized items (pricier). All at reasonable, competitive pricing for the brands. Locally owned since 1972. Awesome! The place is not particularly large, but they have a knack for utilizing space without feeling cluttered. I stopped in recently because I happen to be in the area and heard they carry Smithy, American made cast iron cookware. In particular I was looking for the carbon steel line of Smithy which is supposedly lighter in weight than their cast iron line. The young sales associate helped me locate the Smithy display. He was aware of the brand and knew where it was exactly in the shop. Lovely, gorgeous pieces. Pricing was on par.After doing my weightlifting kitchen curl test with a 10 inch skillet, I concluded that it is less weighty but I'm too weak to handle even that carbon steel weight. However I am uncommonly lacking the normal upper body strength. So you most likely will not have the same issue as I.

My boyfriend and I found this nice little shop when we were in the area and wanted to see what kind of RC Cars this place had. The guy working there Brian was such a great guy to talk to. They talked about the different types of RC cars there was. There are drift cars, monster trucks, buggies, crawlers... the list goes on. We were in there for maybe an hour or so just talking. Brian was such a gem, that 5 years later we go back and have built a wonderful friendship with him, he had become our older brother. Brian is that type of person who will not just sell you an RC car, but he will sell you one that suits you. If you had a car in mind and he does not have it in stock, he is willing to order it and he will make sure he orders you the best one. Brian also fixes RC cars if something is broken or if you have no idea why it isn't working. He will give you a quote before actually fixing it and if the price is good with you, he will start the fixing processes. He is not the type of sell you useless cars, he tries his best to order the best. He does sell more then just RC cars. Just go check him out and see what he has to offer. He also has model cars that you can build. He has a few trains and tracks. He has a lot of paints for the models and other things. Brian is great.

Tiddle E Winks in downtown Sonoma isn't just a shop; it's truly one of my favorite little havens for unique finds and a delightful step back in time. Stepping inside feels like a joyful trip down memory lane, bursting with character and a wonderful retro feel. The shelves are packed with a charming array of very unique items and beautiful, often whimsical, souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else - perfect for taking a piece of Sonoma magic home with you. What truly elevates Tiddle E Winks is the incredible owner, Heidi. She is absolutely, consistently helpful, going above and beyond. For the past three years, our community's vintage car show has relied on Heidi to stock us up with delicious candy, and she makes the entire process incredibly easy to coordinate. She even generously lets us borrow her containers, which is a huge help for event planning! If you're looking for unique candy to impress at your next event, seriously, look no further. One of the main staples that everyone absolutely loves is their classic Bazooka gum with the comics inside - a definite crowd-pleaser that brings smiles to every face! Whether you're a local seeking a nostalgic treat or a visitor hunting for a truly special souvenir, Tiddle E Winks is an absolute must-visit. Heidi's warmth and the shop's charming treasures make it a five-star experience every time. read more

What is the one thing that could make the charming town of Sonoma even better? TIddle E. WInks! I was mesmerized by the fabulous display in the front window and even more blown away when I walked through the door of this one-of-a-kind shop. Who could imagine that so much fun could be packed in this cute little store? Everywhere you look there is another treasure whether it is a toy that evokes memories of your youth or it is a favorite candy, soda, or ice cream that you've been craving. The owner, Heidi, is so energetic and enthusiastic, not to mention awfully cute, and her store has just as much personality as she does. This is a must every time I'm in Sonoma and should be for you, too! read more
