When the kids were little, all last-minute gifts were purchased at Geppetto's…read moreAs they get older this is the prime place to pick up last-minute gifts, especially for girls. You could find a great gift for teenagers young adults and adults. Sometimes I just like to walk through just to see what they have because they've got lots of cool stuff Honestly, if you're not in a hurry, some of the things can be found at Nordstrom's and sometimes a little cheaper. But some things are very unique and super cool here, but you probably won't find it most stores. Always a pleasure visiting

The 3 existing succulent arrangements, who were done at Pigment needed some refreshing and she wanted to create new succulent arrangements in the two empty pots and, . . . .WE GOT TO MEET SAXON, the most wonderful and kind and helpful plant guy at Pigment. His presence, his help, his advice, his demonstration of proper technique based on the arrangement philosophy of designing a pot landscape using the "THRILLER, FILLER, SPILLER" strategy was so insightful!! Even though Pigment was very busy, he made us feel like the most important customer in the store and we will definitely come back when he is there!! THANK YOU SAXON!!!

SELLING FAKE LABUBU dolls!! I rushed here to buy these hard…read moreto find, latest trend, dolls yesterday and almost purchased hundreds of dollars worth when I suddenly realized the boxes were all taped shut. I asked the employees why they were taped and the response was shocking...the dolls arrived all together in one big box and an employee had to put each doll in the individual boxes to sell. Once I heard this, I examined the boxes carefully. 1) should arrive sealed (glued together by the manufacturer) 2) selling lower than manufacturer's retail price, about a third cheaper 3) boxes missing the holographic sticker of authenticity 4) boxes missing the light rays that wrap around the box for Big Into Energy 5) ink color on box isn't correct 6) box texture missing the matte finish Etc. It's a really good knock off for anyone that doesn't have a real one to compare to. Unfortunately for them, I just purchased over 10 real ones so I definitely know the differences. After I informed the employees, one of them told me that they were purchased from Las Vegas and not from the manufacturer. I didn't buy any so I can't tell you what the actual doll inside looks like, if it's a good knock off or not. I'm just surprised they didn't pull it from the shelf when I told them. Any reputable seller would've pulled them and tried to confirm the authenticity from whoever they purchased it from before putting it back on the shelf. I hope unwitting parents didn't buy this for their kids thinking it's authentic. This is what's called a Lafufu, a good fake! Please learn online the differences between real and fake Labubu dolls before purchasing. There is no way that this is legal, considering they're using the company name and copied all the writing on the box.

We came here to look for a special current Christmas ornament. Haven't been into a Hallmark shop…read morein ages so I enjoyed browsing and was amazed at their inventory. Picked up a Xmas stocking for Bud just in case I couldn't find something for him on our cruise. Also chose holiday candies for the kiddies.

Came in for a warm sweatshirt and there were several good options to pick from. Found a nice aqua colored top that was soft and warm. They carry many items for different needs/tastes and times of the year. We've passed by these stores (A & B) many times in the past and finally got to shop here. It's a cute boutique beach store in the perfect spot of Del Mar. Off the L'Auberge Hotel on the way to the nice park that overlooks the Pacific. The customer service is amazing! The young lady that worked both shops was very welcoming, helpful and professional.

The prices here were pretty reasonable compared to some of the nearby shops. The man and woman behind the counter were extremely nice and gave us a lot of information. Im trying to consolidate, so even though there were many things i would've liked to buy i held back and just bought some incense. There was free street parking in the area, and a few other shops nearby, so if you are on a stroll nearby it's a good spot to do some shopping.

Whether you're searching for a meaningful gift or something special for yourself, Neiki's Boutique is always worth a visit!

Hear me out, ok?…read more Nothing is better than putting two clowns with ADHD in front of a massive bin of Wigglitz. My friend and I were in the area and decided hey, why not stop in here to see what they had. Massive variety of toys at very good price points, I'd say. We were wandering around when we stopped in front of this bin of wigglitz. We decided to check it out and just play (pick out which ones we wanted to buy) with some of the wigglitz, for a bit. Tell me why we ended up standing there for over 20 minutes, trying incredibly hard not to buy the entire bin. :) We got our goodies, got distracted with a bunch of other cool looking things in the shop, then paid and left but LOL (Positively) Dangerous place to take the kids (and young adults too, I guess), might end up buying a bunch of stuff from the shop. HAHAHAHA

The selection is limited, the space in South Park is cramped. It feels like the price needs to go down by about 40-50%. My husband spent $350 on an arrangement at NP. I went somewhere else for my mom's flowers, saw an arrangement I LOVED and it was bigger and cost $180. So yeah, I think Naive Poppy and I are parting ways.

The clothes are super cute, they're always rotating through different pieces and they have a great variety. The quality is good and the prices are reasonable. The jewelry options are also great. Lots of different pieces and every time there's something new. But truly the highlight is the women who work here. I have had nothing but great experiences with them. They are helpful but also do a great job of "reading the room" and knowing if you are looking for more attention or just good on your own. They hype you up when something is cute without trying to push everything you try on to you to make a sale. I almost never walk out without having bought something. A few months ago I had honestly one of the most special shopping experiences ever. Brenda was working and it was towards the end of the day so it was quiet. I told her what I was looking for and she pulled some really great options. We ended up having just the very best talk about some wonderful things going on in both of our lives. She's truly so genuine, kind and helpful. I could seriously go on and on. Thank you for always being a great store, and especially thank you for yesterday. I couldn't have had a better experience.
