Went into this location and asked if they might have a Carlsbad ceramic plate. Some old lady rudely replied they are not worth carrying and said go to the airport. First and foremost the airport wouldn’t carry a specific plate for Carlsbad. The next two shops I visited had the plates I was looking for and were more than friendly as we spent over $200.00 in both shops combined. Never ever encountered a more obnoxious individual in over 40 years collecting plates from around the world. Count the lost business from the lady in the walker.????????????????

Every time I visit this unique store I usually spend at least an hour browsing through all their new and neat gifts and cards. This is the only place I go to get cards for the special people in my life.

They do not want you giving them mail even though they advertise as a postal drop off! I went there today with a package the size of my palm and was told they do not accept Mail Drop-offs even though they are registered as a USPS drop-off! Very unprofessional and I will be reporting them to USPS.

It's a real shame when you are a local wanting to support local business and aren't treated like a human being in a store like this. There was so much character about it, such great handmade jewelry, but the ladies working there have got to get better at customer service. Why would I pay you to look at me with disdain and be disrespected? The lady working the register wouldn't even look me in the eye. I was ready to leave the merchandise and walk out because of her bad attitude but I was shopping with my daughter and mother-in-law on Mother's Day weekend. I hate to say this but downtown Carlsbad could do without Linda's gifts. I will never come back here again or recommend this store.

If I could give this place zeo stars I would. I walked in and the woman behind the counter Had a bad attitude and looked at me as if I did not belong there. In a negative voice, she asked me if I need anyting, I said no and told her she needed a new attitude! Then I walked out. Needlessly to say, I would not recommend this place to any minorities.

I was visiting a cousin in Carlsbad and puzzling over how to thank several people who had gone out of their way for me. She cut me off mid-sentence as I was musing about what I might get people I did not know well enough to have an idea of what they might like. “We’re going to Linda’s Gift”, she said. Sure enough, within this marvelous treasure trove that reflects Linda’s artist calling and imagination I found inspiration — and lots of gifts for people I do know! Everyone was delighted with what I sent. This is truly a one-of-a-kind shop. Thank you, Linda & team!Jan P, Washinigton DC

Had the worst experience with the staff. Absolutely shocked how rude they are to customers. I and a friends where looking at the overpriced stuffed animal collection and I was deciding on which to get with the intent of purchasing one of them despite the price. Then, a lady tells us how those are for babies and they had to sell them new to babies. How incredibly condescending and mean. It seems she thought we were looking at them without the intent of purchasing and simply there to goof around or something. I really dont understand the reason for her ambiguity and bitterness. I said nothing to her and stormed out of the shop out of frustration. I really hope they do better because I am so embarrassed of how many other people have had bad experiences here :(

While I was employed at Linda’s Gift, she had me stop at the Dollar Tree to purchase numerous cheap items, and Linda would mark up the prices considerably, which I thought was very unethical.I have also witnessed Linda lie concerning various employee topics so she could achieve beneficial results.On top of that, her staff was quite often rude to the co-workers and customers, making it a hostile environment, along with the low pay. Needless to say, happy was the day I stopped working there!!

Super rude staff. The woman at the counter hardly acknowledged me as I stood waiting to pay for my purchase, no greeting, eye contact, or even a farewell after coldly handing me my receipt. She had been happily chatting with the customer before me and spent much time catering to the her requests for assistance, so I don’t understand why there was no courteous treatment when it was my turn to pay.Will not be returning here.
