“Jen is the best plant diva around. She knows her stuff, and is more than willing to lend a helping hand when it comes to your plants, even if you didn’t purchase them from her store. She uses high quality soil and natural non-toxic solutions to help the plants if needed. She has more than just plants too, so grab a basket, maybe a shopping cart and come on down to Salt your Soul for all things plants, gifts, and maybe just a nice conversation with Jen while you heal in her purified space with good energy ♥️ oh and, dog friendly ?”
“We loved our experience at shark frenzy,Inc. The lady that was there gave us good information on where to go to get shark teeth on the beach. She was also very interactive showing my daughter the shark teeth they have. I would definitely be back and recommend shark frenzy,inc.”
“Well, the experience with
Edible Arrangements for my brother’s birthday was absolutely amazing!
My brother was so surprised!
Thank you again for the great service.
You all worked very hard to get the delivery there on his birthday. Since I am in NJ it meant the world to me!
Thank you!

“Lovely local art studio and shop! I get the most unique, hand made earrings and wine glasses here! Friendly Owner who also teaches classes! Very cool spot! You have to check them out!”
“I highly recommend this gem of a gift shop! We were warmly greeted as we came in and the lovely lady running the shop had a fun scavenger hunt for the kids, which they absolutely loved and really enjoyed hiding the items for the next customers to find. The store had lots of great treasures, everything great quality. There was a shirt I really liked but I preferred short sleeves vs the long sleeve that was available. She very kindly helped me pick out the correct material and color I liked and make me the perfect souvenir T-shirt in just a few minutes. It's also the most comfortable T-shirt I've ever worn!! I'm glad I bought a couple! I've gone to other beach towns and they never ever have any merchandise related to shark tooth hunting. It was so much fun finally getting to shop for stuff I've literally dreamed of finding. Not to mention get to create my own. The lady(I wish I remembered her name) was so kind and helpful and such a warm genuine person! We very much enjoyed our experience at Tiki Tyme Beach Shop! I can't wait to come back next time I visit Venice.”

“Great little shop with enough inventory to fill two shops. Service was great.
I went to get a Kringle and found an excellent variety in their cooler.”
“Shopping here was one of the highlights of my trip to Venice! It was a great way to buy Florida themed (and some Italian themed) souvenirs for my friends and family that were more genuine than another shell or shark tooth. The shopkeeper is a lovely guy, very helpful, and the store is arranged beautifully. The prices are very fair and honestly felt like a good deal. I came back 3 times on my trip, and will come back again next time I am in Venice ☺️”
“My husband and I visited the newly renovated Earth Treasures Store on re-opening day. Customer service was great and there was a large variety of items to choose from. We made several purchases and felt we got great value for our money spent. We liked the idea that many items were made by local crafters.will definitely visit this store again.”
“Huge selection of gifts, souvenirs...at reasonable pricing.So much to see, you can get all your shopping done in one place for all your friends and family. I wish I would have seen this store day one. Loved it...”

“I tried in vain to customize a tumbler for our foundation. It may be easy for some but I ran into several obstacles. Fortunately Paula (customyzer) was able to guide me through the process with patience and perseverance. I could not have done it without her! Thanks”

“I call this store a Hallmark but they have a lot more. All my cards come from there and they always have cool gifts that you can’t find anywhere else. Great holiday selection as well. See you soon.”
“I visited this shop specifically for python leather products, given the invasive python issue in Florida. The lady running the shop was incredibly helpful, showing me the range of python leather items they had, from skins to wallets and more. I highly recommend buying python products here, not only because it supports a good cause by helping the environment but also because it's a Florida-exclusive opportunity.”
“I loved this place! You can create your own air plant and shells and other adornments to take with you, great bright positive art and colors. A feel good whimsy store and love the owning staff! We will be back!”
“I am the Store Manager, large selection of beach, souvenirs, wall art, clothing including Cotton Naturals, Salt Life, Comfy Color tees! Best beach shop on the island of Siesta Key. Great customer service and lowest prices ever! Don't wait, come see us and be amazed!!!?”

“Great assortment of Florida souvenirs and collectibles. Reminds me when I visited Florida as a child. Well organized to display so many different, interesting items. If you miss the annual Shark Tooth Festival, you can still get a nice, local fossil shark tooth here. Also, they have shark tooth sand rakes to find your own shark teeth on the beach. Worth stopping in.”

“Great Store and Great Post office. Was shipping some Christmas Cookies and they were so helpful. Helped me find a box , bubble wrap and even taped it up. Also noticed that I left the apartment number off of my address label. So glad this store is here in Venice. Two thumbs up!”
“The owner was pleasant and easy to talk to and he also had great fishing tips. The store is nicely stocked up with anything you may need from souvenirs to everything in between. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area.”
