Nikoniko Gifts is an absolutely adorable gift store with Japanese and Korean influence, bridging Asian traditions with modern daily products. More than just a gift store, it offers a great variety of curated items including gifts, stationery, teas, teaware, home goods, gift-able snacks for humans and pups, dog toys, kids books, ceramics, notepads, art prints, fragrance, skincare, small trinkets, and more. The selection changes often and there is always something new to look at. The shop supports Asian artisans, brands, and creators everywhere. It is a great small business with lots of beautiful gift items to give and keep. The shopkeeper is super sweet and friendly, providing amazing curation and even demonstrating Furoshiki cloth wrapping. The store is dog friendly and worth a visit for anyone wanting a unique gift, promising a pleasant surprise with each trip.
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.

All the previous reviews are NOT wrong! This is a great small business. Made the effort to drop in on a busy "Santa-Con" Sat and it was definitely worth the trip. Lots of beautiful gift items to give and keep!

I stumbled across this shop wandering around Cow Hollow and it's super cute! I loved the curated Korean and Japanese home goods, art prints and holiday gifts inside. The shop owner said they opened in April and change the selection often. Worth a visit to get stickers and unique trinkets!
