“I’ve been dealing with some muscle spasms/numbness with my legs and I put on my Soxbox socks for compression and it gave me such relief!
I wore them to bed and I was able to sleep through the night without waking up from discomfort.
I gave my legs a break a bit from wearing them but they instantly feel better wearing my Soxbox socks!!! ????
I’m wearing my 2 Legit 2 Quit at the moment for that extra Affirmation of Strength!!??
They’re not just for Training!??????

“Augustina's Leathers in Carmel is a jewel of a store! They have beautiful and unique jewelry designers and a fabulous selection of designer clothes. Their sales team is attentive and helpful! A must see when in Carmel.”
“With the hectic holiday shopping season now in full swing and still much more to do, we escaped to beautiful Carmel. Shopping instantly became a no pressure experience. We rediscovered the new location of Atkins Fine Clothiers now located downstairs in the welcoming Carmel Plaza.
We felt we went to one of our favorite destination on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills! The now larger space, allowing for much more selections, has the upper level for men and ladies in the glimmering lower level. We found the exact special gifts my wife and I were looking for each other!
And had a most gracious holiday experience while being served by members of the Hala family.
We will definitely be back sooner
to visit Carmel’s finest clother!!”
“If you’ve ever wandered through Carmel-by-the-Sea, you know the magic is in not quite knowing where you are—no street numbers, just quiet courtyards, tucked-away doors, and shops that feel like they’ve been waiting for you. Somewhere in the middle of that slow wandering, I found a place simply called Somewhere in Carmel, and it ended up being one of those rare stops that actually stays with you long after you leave.
It’s hard to overstate how special this place feels. It might genuinely be the cutest gift shop in Carmel-by-the-Sea, but calling it just a gift shop doesn’t quite do it justice. It has the intimacy of a small boutique, the curiosity of a well-traveled collection, and the warmth of something deeply personal. From the moment you step inside, it feels like everything has been chosen with care—nothing rushed, nothing generic.
As far as the best boutique in Carmel-by-the-Sea goes, this is easily at the top of the list. There’s a quiet confidence to the way the space is put together—soft light, natural textures, and an almost instinctive sense of placement. You don’t feel like you’re being sold to; you feel like you’re being let in on something.
It’s also one of the most unique clothing stores in Carmel I’ve come across. The pieces are understated but striking—things you don’t see everywhere, but also things you can actually live in. There’s a balance between beauty and wearability that’s surprisingly hard to find, and it makes browsing feel more like discovery than shopping.
In terms of overall experience, this is what people mean when they talk about the best shopping in Carmel California. It’s not about quantity or big names—it’s about finding something that feels specific to this place. Something that couldn’t exist quite the same way anywhere else.
And if you’re looking for a gift shop in Carmel-by-the-Sea, this is where you end up finding things you didn’t know you were looking for. Small objects, thoughtful details, pieces that feel meaningful without being over-explained. It’s the kind of shop where you pick something up for someone else and immediately wish you’d grabbed one for yourself too.
More than anything, it might just be the coolest shop in Carmel because it doesn’t try too hard. It feels natural, grounded, and quietly confident—like it belongs exactly where it is.
If you’re in Carmel, take your time. Let yourself wander a bit. And if you come across Somewhere in Carmel, go in. It’s the kind of place that reminds you why people fall in love with this town in the first place.”

“Victorius is a fantastic small business and a true gem in Pacific Grove. The shop has a beautifully curated selection of women’s clothing with stylish, high-quality pieces you don’t find everywhere. The atmosphere is welcoming, and it’s clear a lot of care goes into both the store and the customer experience. If you’re looking to support a local business and find something unique, Victorius is absolutely worth a visit!”
“Ami is one of those boutiques you wander into “just to look” and end up leaving with treasures (guilty). The shop is full of beautiful pieces, from thoughtful gifts to curated items by local artisans. I snagged two things from Good hYOUman. Love a brand with a story behind it. The whole space feels intentional and welcoming, and if you’re lucky, there’s coffee and a chocolate chip cookie waiting for you. Don’t skip the little garden out back—it’s a quiet gem.”

“This place is PACKED with gorgeous clothing (dont want to label it but to me the overall style felt like a western bohemian), accessories, home decor, and so much more. The store has half womens and half mens, so it was nice for both my husband and i to be able to spend time looking through everything without worrying about whether the other person had enough to look at. The owner obviously adores her store and it definitely shows through all of the items she handpicked and how she’s decorated and maintained this lovely store. Would recommend checking it out.”
“Spent some time thrifting on my recent California coastal trip and stumbled into this thrift shop on September 29th. There were cool and retro things and some even hard to find. The owner was the most beautiful person inside and out and somehow juggled the inquiries of every customer. She gave me an irresistible offer on a sweatshirt that I couldn’t refuse that came in handy on the rest of my trip! Make sure you stop by!”
“Cute little shop that always has amazing and unique clothing. I love going there on my lunch to see what new fun things they have. Love their shoe lines as well. Fun little shop. Always worth the splurge.”
“Clothing that is beautifully-made, high-end and unique; a store you’d normally find in larger cities. Wonderful and warm customer service, as well! There’s really nothing in Nest that I don’t LOVE.”

“Great experience here as my wife and I are attending a wedding soon and it is the first Indian wedding we’ve been to. Kamlesh, the owner, is so kind and was incredibly helpful to get us fit for the occasion. Support this local small business!”
“A fun store with affordable original art owned by great people (who sometimes have a great dog at the store!). Even sent our purchases home for us so we didn't have to try to pack them - so sweet! You should definitely stop here if you find yourself in Pacific Grove.”
“Monterey Hot Topic is the best one I have ever shopped at. The store is always clean and easy to shop. Everything is where it should be and makes sense to the shopper. My youngest is a hardcore HT customer and only likes going into this location. From the first time I walked into this location customer service is more than amazing it's personal. They all take the time to look at my account and see my past purchases to make sure I'm not getting the same items or when I can't figure out what to get they suggest similar items. I have held the position in retail from a new associate all the way to DM and I would hire each person in there because of their outstanding customer service and dedication. In the 2 yrs that my kid and I have been shopping here I have never had a bad experience.”
“Minori, the owner, was wonderful. Such a peaceful store tucked away in downtown Carmel. The quilts are BEAUTIFUL and all handmade in India. Would absolutely recommend!”
“This store is super cute if you need a quick gift but that being said, they can’t even provide gift bags or tissue in the bag. So be prepared to wrap your own gifts.”
“Excellent selection with a sales team that is very attentive and helpful. Even offered free shipping on an item that they didn't have in stock. Wonderful place to shop!”
“The staff and service is absolutely amazing, they are always friendly and helpful. The shoes are amazing, vans are always my go-to, I've never been to this location and struggled to find my size. The shoes are pricey but with all the sales they offer and how long the shoes last it is worth it to me. I've been to a few locations and this one is definitely my favorite”
“This condensed Pebble Beach store says outlet! Almost everything for kids, men, and women was reduced 40% to 70%. Of course I found a great deal on a front opening very pink jacket with logo at a discount And some cute tennis shorts for grand kids at 70 % off
The venue has a great accessible fitting room with two grab bars more than 5ftx 5 ft space. Full length wide mirror and easy to manage door
Accessible public restrooms in central Cannery Row area. Van accessible paid parking in garage
This shop is next to the small plaza with bench and the Cannery Row founders statue with an ocean view”
“i took my mom there to shop, Laura was so helpful...my mom got an outfit she totally loves....laura ordered a blouse for her & my mom loves it. Laura was so helpful....it made a real difference in the shopping experience”
“Loved it! I tried on a few things I would usually never have tried, but I'm on vacation so what the heck. It was a lot of fun and I ended up loving (and buying) almost everything I tried on. The salesperson was an absolute sweetheart, very helpful and ready to answer questions. Just before I stopped in at Ms. Fabulous, I visited Girl Boy Girl. Dang, y'all. Some nice items, but waaaaaaaaaay out of my price range. Ms. Fabulous to the rescue! So glad I walked through the door.”
“This lovely shop is a must-visit every time I come to Carmel. Dee is a true artisan, creating beautiful sleepwear that changes with the seasons. I treasure my collection and always enjoy my visits!”
“JOHNIE!! The wedding stylist at this anthro is my hero. She is an angel on this earth stuck with me every single step of the way when choosing my grad dress. She has the most incredible taste in the world and actually ended up being the person to pick out my grad dress. Not once has any stylist at any store picked out a piece that I ended up buying. I am so picky. She was attentive, kind, helpful, and all around incredible”
“I rarely go into stores because I don't like shopping however shopping at this Kohl's in Marina was a pleasant experience. On Friday May 22, 2026 I came to Kohl's to purchase a good sturdy suitcase. I found a cart to help me walk around and a young associate told me exactly where to go to find the luggage. I found a nice Samsonite on sale and went to checkout. The lady working as cashier was very nice and told me I could save even more money if I open a Kohl's Visa account. I did and was approved. I got the suitcase for about $165 with tax and the regular price was over $400. I was pleased with the store and excellent customer service. My last purchase was a few years ago when I bought my Mother a gift so it was nice shopping at this Kohl's store.”
“Such a great store. The people were so friendly. We bought many gifts to bring back home to our family and friends. Will be back for sure next time we are in the area. They even gave us a nice keychain charm for protection in our travels that I still keep on my bag. Love the vibes here.”
“Highly recommend Ephiphany to find your dream dress! Clare was so attentive - willing to come in outside of her working hours if it meant she could support me. They have a beautiful selection of quality, affordable dresses and do in house alterations to make your dress really your own. Truly a customer obsessed business?”
“This was my first time ever shopping at Johnny Was store. What a fun and colorful atmosphere! Such a friendly staff especially Sheri. She was very welcoming which made our shopping experience superb!I look forward in going back and adding a beautiful dress to my wardrobe collection!”
“Absolutely ADORE this store! I traveled in from Ohio and realized there aren't many boutique shops in Monterey. I found this one on Google and had a beautiful walk along the coast to it. I had my arms full within minutes, eager to try on the cute outfits. I walked out with a big bag to take back home with me and remind me of this beautiful area! I HIGHLY recommend for those wanting to shop local and find unique, fun items!”
