“Always a delight to go into this beautiful home decor store and more!! And yes, I agree, that Shannon is the belle of the ball !! She is the most sweetest salesperson ever !! All of the salespeople are quite nice and hospitable!! Whoever is the buyer and owner of this store has excellent taste and gets the most unique and beautiful things that girls just love to buy for their home!! They have jewelry too!! They have candles, throws, pillows, pictures, lotions, scarfs, mittens, pajamas, beach stuff decor, and wallets, and seasonal items that are so original you can't find anywhere else!! The store is so beautifully decorated that you want to make it your home !! LOL”
“A FANTASTIC place to shop. She’s got great vintage art glass pieces that are in excellent condition. I felt she really curates what she sells and isn’t just filling shelves with stuff. The stuff she has was like I walked into my own dream store. I like that kind of intention when I’m heading into a smaller shop. The prices are really good too.
I saw newer folksy art and crystals as well ( this is by Santa Cruz) There is also a healthy of 50’s and 60’s in there too. The shop owner was lovely she really takes good care of her pieces she has.
Do not over look her store. It’s situated near the other antique shops. I will 100% be going back to this area just to go into her vintage thrift.”

“Every time I visit family in California, I persuade them to drive down the coast with the side-quest of getting shampoo bars at Ethos. The Notice Hair Co shampoo and conditioner bars are amazing, leaving hair squeaky clean, soft, and smooth. Now that we live on the East Coast, the carbon-neutral shipping has kept us stocked up. Thank you for introducing us to these fabulous products!”
“Nice selection and quality, friendly and professional staff. Toni helped us choose and configure an awesome sofa, and the delivery team was nice and careful bringing it into the house.”
“Adam was a great help picking the right couch for me and my wife. He didn't preasure us or sway us just clear info and help. The delivery option was early and very professional. I can't recommend this place enough!
Thank you Adam for all of your help! We love our new couch!!”
“I bought a pair of beautiful earrings, accidentally dropped them in the street, and didn’t realize I had lost them until I got home. I loved them so much, I decided to go back to the store a couple of days later to buy another pair. When I arrived, they recognized me immediately and told me that someone had found them and brought them back to the store. They said they even walked around looking for me. Needless to say, I was so grateful to the good person who found them and the store for caring enough to try to find me. A not so great experience turned into one that totally made my day! Great store and great people running it.”
“Beautiful store and a lot of unique pieces to choose from. The people who worked were really nice and helped us find a wedding gift and we ended up purchasing a gorgeous Annieglass sculpture for our living room. They also had other artisan gifts like ceramics, blown glass vases, and gorgeous jewelry in the store which complimented the glass. They had a seconds room of annieglass and we bought a few votive holders. It may have been a slight bend in it but they were unique and still gorgeous and nice quality, we ended up buying three. (Everything was beautiful)! They were giving a tour of the factory and asked us if we would like to join. We didn't have reservations, but the employees were very welcoming. It was a great experience! We got to walk through the very clean factory, and our tour guide showed us the different stations and we learned a bit about the process of slumped glass and about the artist Annie. We can't wait to come back on our future trips to Monterey and tell our friends. If you live in the area or driving through you don't want to miss visiting Annieglass!”
“Such a great spot in Santa Cruz! Adore the variety of items they have here. It's the perfect place to treat yourself or find gifts for others. Love that they have mini variety options of some of their staples for gifts. They have a mix of local makers as well here, which is always nice when you want to shop local. Everyone here is always super sweet and they also host events sometimes too which is a blast! Highly recommend!”
“I recently visited Lumen Gallery and had such a great experience! The selection of jewelry, art, and home goods is beautiful and really unique—there’s something for every taste and style. I ended up finding the perfect gift, but honestly, I wanted to take half the store home with me. The staff was super friendly and helpful without being pushy, and they really know their stuff. It’s a great spot to shop for yourself or find special gifts. I’ll definitely be coming back!”
“Botanic and Luxe is beautifully curated. I recently found a few items while shopping around and ended up having them emailed to me. The staff was sooo sweet and helpful! My package came today with a sweet handwritten card. The B&L team is doing a great job!!
Thank you!”
“I have never gone to a location that has the huge selection of pottery to choose from. There is something for everyone. They carry product for everyday to custom. Great quality. Great customer service and so much merchandise to explore. You will not be disappointed. It's worth the trip. I was very impressed.”

“The Dig Gardens shop is a lovely store in Santa Cruz. They have a nice assortment of indoor and outdoor plants which are beautifully displayed. They also have a variety of items in the gift shop, but I felt that most were overpriced and that's the reason for the 4/5 stars. Thank you Izzy! 5/5 stars for Izzy for being so patient and helpful in my selection of 2 gifts. She was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. I also appreciate the nice gift wrapping. I will definitely shop at this store here again.”
“This is one of the best stores for mindfulness, self healing, and crystals anywhere. Warm and inviting, helpful staff, gorgeous displays, and a very wide variety of wares and manufacturers. If you are into self healing and the esoteric arts then pay a visit and enjoy.”
“I have known redo for a good 5 years. They are the best furniture store in the Bay Area in my opinion. So many cool places have left, but they are still here! They do have consignment: interesting one of a kind furniture pieces, rugs, lighting and art, but also new upholstery and tables. The owners have impeccable taste and the store, although small and eclectic, is an inspiration. The style is contemporary classy, but hip, where vintage meets modern. I drive down from the Berkeley area and it is always worth it. The only problem is that it is hard to choose among such a wonderful selection of items at times. But that's a good problem to have.”
“Where do I begin here? There are so many boxes that this place checks not to mention I don’t have to venture very far to go there. That being said even if I lived in Los Gatos or Campbell I would travel over 17 just to shop at this store. This place has inventory and amazing and varied inventory at that. The aesthetic of the furniture is what I would describe as relaxed sophistication with a modern vibe. Not shopping for furniture? That’s fine, there are many other items such as table and glass ware, candles, beautiful seasonal wreaths, coffee table books, etc to choose from. I love that they carry the locally made Annie Glass and from the Carmel Ceramica as well. Everyone who works here is lovely, engaging, and hospitable-they are content to help you find the right gift or whatever you need!”
“We ordered a piece of equipment and accessory this morning; it was delivered as ordered hours later. The delivery person was courteous and left the equipment in an easily accessible spot. Props to this company!”
“Cutest gift, home ideas. Clothes, scarves & purses too. Darling baby line for newborns.
Always an uplifting experience to shop at Zinnia's ??”
“Beautiful, semi-hidden little shop on 41st Ave, not far from Portola. Exquisite little finds for the home, including a handmade pillows and lovely glassware. A lovely woman showed me around and told me about the items. I honestly wish I had the money and space to buy lots of goodies in there delightful smelling lotion. If you're out on 41st avenue, don't miss this special little shop.”

“Great store with tons of options! This location has quite a lot of furniture and lighting, and they're all very well priced and seem to be good quality. On top of the furniture, they have a ton of fun foods and drinks at the back, mostly all imported from around the world. It's a great option to get something that you've never tried before, had once on vacation and have been craving since, or just for your fix of goodies. The staff are friendly, and the store is well maintained.”

“The products in this Artisan Store are an agency of handmade expressions of great value--multiple assortments of artisan items. I have purchased numerous gifts, hand-formed jewelry, cards, delectables, fine art, and printed graphic art. Items for children to adults grace this well-lit, handcrafted, unique, bespoke, or custom-made location. The value is in the hands of the beholder!!”
“I like Ross. Having said that, I'm a big guy and I rarely can find shirts in my size that I like (3X or 4X). But when stuff I like is in stock, it's all good and you can't beat the prices.”
“I love this local, artistic, unique, store. So many wonderful items to select from. I appreciate the pottery, baskets, silks and candles. Of course jewelry! Wonderful hats, scarfs, and handmade birdhouses. Thank you for supporting the local community during events. (Wine Wander, World's Shortest Parade, etc.) I am enjoying my most recent purchases. Many thanks!”
