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!

Great little cute shop on Piedmont. I have come here 2x before to buy these super cute amazing message stones for myself and as gifts. They have tons of home stuff and gifts and toys for kids plus books and more. Support a small female Asian owned business. Owner Janet is usually behind the counter. Their candles by the door smell amazing. I'm waiting for her next shipment of the small version of the aptly named "entitled" candle to come in next month.

Great selection of greeting cards, not the usual cheesy assortment you see at Target or Hallmark stores.

I love this shop! We get balloons here for birthday parties (once even for an up costume!) and I love perusing toys for my daughter, local gifts etc. unlike others I think their prices are totally reasonable for the bay, sometimes even more affordable than I would expect. I bought a gorgeous blush scarf for ~$20 that I wear constantly when it's cool. Highly recommend for baby and kids birthday gifts. Also I find the owner has always been extremely friendly!!

Always passed by this store but never stopped in. It's a great spot to grab a card or a fun gift for someone. A lot of selection, well curated- there's a couple Oakland/ Bay Area specific items that seem like nice souvenirs.

I love this shop. Always changing their products and gifts. The nice lady behind the desk is always so helpful and patient. Wide variety of unique items. My only complaint is the some items are a bit overpriced compared to other stores that sell the same things.

I usually come in to check out the toys. I saw this interesting mood ring and I was just playing around with it. The owner saw me and she RUDELY said " IF YOU WANT TI PLAY WITH IT, YOU CAN DO IT AFTER PURCHASE". I said sorry and I walk around a little more and she kept staring at me probably thinking I was gonna steal. I don't recommend going here because the owner makes the costumer feel uncomfortable and she has bad customer service.

stopped by this store randomly to pick up a last minute gift ... I'm really glad I did! It has a wide variety of cards and gifts at many price points. Mainly fun gifts and toys that would be good for kids or fun adults, hah. They also have a variety of gift wrapping /bags and will do beautiful gift wrapping in-store!

If your looking for a gift for someone this is the perfect store. They have a huge selection of fun, interesting and beautiful items for anyone to enjoy ~ especially that really difficult family member or friend. I always get my cards and stationary here. The owner is very nice and welcoming. If you haven't checked out this store I highly recommend stopping by as it adds charm to Piedmont Ave.

Surprise! is my go to for birthdays. They are always super fast and have a great variety of gifts, greeting cards, and balloons. The store is never crawling with people so I can always take my time picking out the perfect gift. I highly recommend this corner gift shop!
