“A week ago, I didn't even know Jenny K existed and now it's my new favorite place. I discovered it because I was craving Amish popcorn and happily, this store carries it. It took me awhile to get here, but I had so much fun exploring. The store is filled with all kinds of colorful treasures and the prices are very reasonable. I even got 15% off, as a special holiday promo. Also, everyone who works here is super kind and friendly. Hurray!”

“Post.script is the perfect spot when you're looking for a unique gift for a special friend or just browsing for something fun for yourself. Tucked away off of busy Fillmore Street, there is a wide range of offerings packed into this small spot. The selections are well-curated and can be both practical and wonderfully decorative at the same time. During a recent trip, I picked up several of the Baggu brand reusable bags, as they carry a good selection of these bags. I also found some lovely glassware and whimsical geometric coasters for the perfect birthday gift. The staff was also helpful and courteous, as they have been on all my trips there. Along with checking out the fun gift cards and writing instruments, one can spend a lot of time perusing the different and interesting selections of hair accessories, as well as attractive items for decorating the home. The variety of items and reasonable price points make post.script a spot not to be missed.”

“I've been gifted several of these lovely soy candles so I was excited when I spotted their storefront in San Francisco. I especially like their candles that come in a tin and they were on sale when I visited so I happily picked up a new one. I chose Dusk which they describe as: 8pm. Damp leaves, crisp air, powder and spice on a clear night. Woody, cool, and earthy. Black pepper, clary sage, palo santo, and blooming iris. I can't wait to smell this scent wafting through my home.If you're looking for a gift I highly recommend one of their 10 ounce soy candles from the Sunset collection paired with a pretty book of matches.”

“We have picked out beautiful gifts for friends from Palm + Perkins multiple times. This is a great store with a fantastic selection of gorgeous home goods, jewelry, and kitchen items. We mostly stop into the store to browse and we always find many great things, but we have also ordered online to ship out of state, which has been a super reliable way to send something special to someone.”

“If you haven't stopped into Jessica's shop on Union Street, do yourself a favor and do it soon. It's not just a great spot for beautiful and unique gifts, but the know-customers-by-name small town vibe is just fantastic.”

“Had a really nice experience buying a gift for a friend. The person working (Max) was really friendly and helpful and he wrapped the gift way better than I could've, for free. I'm about to go back to get another gift and figured I'd leave a review”

“ATYS we have loved for many years, since living in the city moving to the East Bay, still go back there for inspiration. Among many great stores still in existence, like Japonesque in Jackson Square, Sanko Kitchen Essentials or Flora Grubb for plants, San Francisco still has it!”

“This place was dope. Right next to Venganza. I connected with the owner Getachew (sorry if I misspelled your name) who was very knowledgeable about his products located from all across Africa. A cool guy and I'll be back to check the store out again when I have more time and when I'm not waiting for an order.”

“This store is probably one of my favorite places ever... I have been going there since childhood, so it retains a lot of nostalgia for me, but the overall quality and customer service has remained the same. Every time I go to collect more shells, the staff is always super friendly and willing to help me find what I am looking for. I have been thrilled to find so many treasures here! It's a Pier 39 treasure itself!”

“I spent so long in this store that I wanted to buy everything. It's like a toy store for adults with books, stationeries, souvenirs, and everything in between. They are colourful and quirky (some). They remind us there are beautiful things called art out there that are worth our longing.”

“Amazing gift shop for traditional Chinese souvenirs and clothes!We went around Chinatown looking for a tiny Chinese coin purse and came across many places where the quality and price were not worth it. However at this shop, the prices were extremely affordable and quality was better than anything we have seen.We really liked looking through all the Chinese decor, clothing and souvenirs. The store owner was very friendly and welcoming.We came in looking for a $1 coin purse and left with $100 worth of merchandise. Extremely satisfied!”

“The selection of gifts are vibrant, uniquely designed, and thoughtfully curated. I appreciated how the store owner allowed me to pair and match various baskets even though they were filled with inventory. I was able to pick up last-minute Christmas presents from Nepal, Kenya and India. If you are looking to add more color or geometric designs to your household, there's a drool-worthy section of constellation-inspired houseware (like salt cellars with stars on them) and beautiful basket planters all over the shop.”

“Good selection of mahjong tiles, including multiple sizes, pattern colors and ones with Arabic numerals. I thought they would be expensive, marked-up for being in the center of a touristy area, but they were very reasonably priced. The staff were so nice and helpful. Will definitely return to buy more sets for friends!”

“Always a pleasure working with the guys here! If you don't find what you're looking for they will make sure to have it next time you come in! Always willing to help with anything you purchase from their store! Make you feel like you're family! I come across 6 cities, pass up 10 + other shops to visit this smoke shop and will only do business with them! Very knowledgeable about product and reasonable pricing!”

“Through Reddit, I learned that this unassuming, eccentric little shop offered aura photography. It isn’t well advertised. I asked the shopkeeper if my boyfriend and I could get our aura photo taken together and was taken to a back room.The process was very fast, and I think it cost around $25. She didn’t do a deep reading or analysis. She just showed me a piece of paper on how to interpret my photo. I really wanted the photo and didn’t need the analysis so I didn’t care about getting a deeper reading ?”

“This shop is jammed-packed with the most interesting assortment of gifts and homewares, from plants to kitchen items to clothing and meditation paraphernalia. Really useful things, not just pretty stuff to look (though they have that too). I also just scored on their 25th Anniversary Sale, where everything in the store was 20% off (9/21-10/6/2023). What a find on Piedmont Ave.”

“Great store with many authentic beautiful gift items from Mexico. If you like religious candles, photos, statues, and rosaries there are many items with Jesus, The Blessed Virgin Mary, and Saint Michael to name a few. I will add some photos later of all the religious items that you don't find many places. Very friendly people who are so helpful to find just the right clothing, gift, pinata, etc, etc. See the store for yourself and something beautiful and colorful will catch your eyes everywhere you look!”

“The best gift shop! Fun knick Knacks, creative designs of random everyday objects, books, accessories, home goods, journals and stationary etc for people of all ages at reasonable prices. Helpful staff and a sense of community. Spend over $5 to use debit / credit cards.”

“A local gift shop that highlights local artists while still taking active steps to protect people from COVID through masking policy. I make it a ritual to get birthday, thank you, and holiday cards here that feel unique as well as art to frame that I know my friends will love. Are the price points higher than average? maybe - but i appreciate paying people a livable wage for their work. Also as someone who masks strategically in public settings I'm VERY appreciative of the masks and store policy regarding masking. It's a small space and I don't want to be breathing in your breath. While I've been here many times only recently I was able to meet the shop cat. Come for the local art - stay to befriend the shop cat.”

“It's a small shop, but the staff are very kind. When I bought a magnet for a souvenir, they went out of their way to bring me a new one from the back. Highly recommended if you want a souvenir from San Francisco.”

“Thank you very Mochi! [Japantown, San Francisco CA] These are beautiful Japanese confections located on the West Mall at Japantown in San Francisco. The confections are fun, fresh and yummy. We were given samples of the Harajuku mochis in strawberry and chocolate flavors. Ooh the chocolate just hit you at first bite... it's like Nutella with a doughy texture. I preferred the chocolate over the strawberry but these little soft pillows are so heavenly delicious. The packagings and canisters are amazing. Beautiful selection of wrapped traditional Japanese food gifts! They also have some packaged candy and mochis that come in cutesy Hello Kitty tin cans. My daughter couldn't stop with the oohs and ahhs LoL ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nippon-ya is located on the West Mall at Japantown in San Francisco. Instagram: @nipponya.sf Review #3378”

“Wasn't sure what to make of this shop when I first moved into the neighborhood, but two years later I don't know what I'd do without it! They have a very well-curated selection of cards, way better than you'd find in a drug store or supermarket. They also have a constantly rotating collection of random giftable items that have helped me out in a pinch on several occasions. Prices might be a bit higher than some other places, but good taste doesn't come cheap!”
