“Visited here a little bit ago with my brother and sister in-law and we love it! This is the place for fun and funny gifts! We got a magic 8 ball and little hand finger puppets! The lady at the counter was fun and so kind! Can't wait to visit again!”
“So I stopped in at the headquarters location instead of this one (it's to the East of town), and I can say the jerky here is absolutely exceptional. I think it's *easily* the best beef jerky in town!I've been a huge fan of jerky my whole life, and I pick up bags of this stuff all over the United States any time I travel. This is right up there with the best of them, and the fact it's local makes it that much more special when visiting Big Bear.Overall, it tasted a lot more fresh and tender than the alternatives you might find elsewhere in The Village. If you're into Jerky, or you're gifting for someone else who's really into Jerky, then I recommend you pick something up here. Personally, I really enjoyed the teriyaki beef jerky. This is what I almost always get, though, so buy whatever is closest to your flavor profile!”
“Scenic Gifts is such a cute little gem in Big Bear! They have a great selection of just about everything, but for me, the fun signs and little mountain-themed details were my favorite. One sign especially made me laugh: “Camping where friends and marshmallows get toasted.” 😂🏕🔥 It’s little touches like this that give the shop that playful Big Bear mountain vibe and make it fun to simply walk around and explore.Value-wise, I’d say the prices were fair, although definitely not on the cheaper side, and also I didn’t notice any special promotions during my visit. The atmosphere was very chill, and customer service was just okay. It took a little while before someone came over to open one of the glass display cases for me, but honestly, I didn’t mind. The staff were chatting with other customers, making them laugh and enjoy their time, and I actually love seeing that kind of friendly interaction.
I ended up buying a few cute pieces. One of my friends absolutely loves bears and collects them, so whenever I’m in a mountain town, I can’t resist picking up another little bear treasure for him. 🐻🤎 It makes the shopping experience even sweeter knowing I’m bringing home something that will make someone I care about smile. Overall, Scenic Gifts was a fun little stop and definitely added some extra charm to my Big Bear day! Walk in and youll love ittttttttt!!!!”
“The Village Nut House in Big Bear is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh nuts, candy, and gourmet treats is irresistible. Their selection is incredible—everything from flavored nuts and chocolate-covered goodies to unique snacks you can’t find anywhere else.
The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to help you find the perfect treat or gift. I especially loved their candied pecans and honey-roasted almonds—they were fresh and full of flavor.
The shop has a cozy, welcoming vibe that fits perfectly with the charm of Big Bear. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back for more treats next time I’m in town!”
“Have to say thank you to the lovely young lady working the register. Thank you for allowing my daughter and her strollered fur babies in and shop.
Our purchase for the afternoon 6/26/26 were beautiful mineral pendants very reasonable on the pricing and one of the nicest/ coolest hoodies I've seen in a while, again very reasonable on the price and the cutest little geode pendant that came with a free cord with multiple colors to choose from. Customer service was great. She was so sweet and attentive. The shop started to get pretty full, she was calm and greeted every single person with a smile. Had such a lovely experience here and we will definitely return. Thank you for your kindness... It didn't go unnoticed🐾🫶🏻”
“THIS is the place I remember from my childhood (2007ish), all the other shops I feel like are new but this one in particular looks as I remember it. I love the variety with every room having a little something different. Wish all the other shops were as unique as this one.”
“Super friendly and helpful people with cool and interesting items for sale, the employee called "blue" was really nice. Definitely recommending this place and will be back again!”
“Beautiful store with lots of gifts to choose from! Stuffed animals, candles, lotions, decorations, pillows, cards, and much more. Very friendly and helpful staff. Recommend!”
