I love this store. They have tons of neat stuff for children. I buy stuff here for children and teenages. This store is pretty big and spacey. Although it's a bit pricey, this store carries accessories that are not sold anywhere else. They have many different styles of cute things, such as Emily the Strange, Paul Frank and Happy Bunny stuff. The store is very unique and it's hard to find a collection of stuff they have. However, they sell at retail price. Go see the stuff anyways!

Being in Hawaii, you don't find many local places that offer such a wide variety of art supplies. Flax Art & Design offer such a great selection of art supplies at such great prices. Online or by catalog, it's much easier than fighting crowds and traffic.

I went in to The Gifted Basket last week to get a small bouquet for a friend who was getting out of the hospital. I wanted something quaint yet beautiful and the gifted basket delivered on both of those sentiments. The owner was soooooo nice and patient with helping me to pick out just the perfect flowers for a most memorable arrangement. I had Such a lovely unhurried, human, experience in the midst of the downtown bustle that I won't be going Anywhere else for flowers if i'm anywhere close to downtown ever again!! You Have to check this place out!!

Whenever we travel away from our home town of Seattle we always try to stop at a local antique mall to see if we can find any antique and vintage buttons to add to our collection. We learned about the SF Antique & Design Mall from the internet. What we found when we arrived there was an incredible inventory of everything from true historical treasures to wonderful junk. They have it all! Everything is wonderfully displayed without looking cluttered and is very well lit. The staff was very helpful, friendly and attentive, yet didn't make you feel like they thought you were about to break something or were on the verge of shoplifting. It was very relaxed. Being from out of town, we especially appreciated the service we received from "Randy." Randy was dandy! We found what we were looking for and even purchased a couple of great items we weren't looking for. Pricing seems to be fair to both seller and buyer.
There were only two minor "negatives" we can think of. The first was caused by bad timing on our part. The rush hour traffic was horrendous. The second was the upstairs portion of the mall. It wasn't nearly put together as well as the main floor. But these were minor things and did not take away from the enjoyment of our "antiquing" experience in the least. The next time we're in San Fransisco we will make SF Antique & Design Mall one of our priority destinations. We visit a lot of antique malls around the country, but this one surpasses them all. If you go there be sure to ask for Randy.
Pros: Selection. If you don't want to buy it, it's still fun to look at. Like being in a time machine!
Cons: Traffic!

i love this girly spot because its accessories, -- think chic suede handbags, wool scarves, and elegant but funky stationary -- are impossible to find elsewhere (unless you want to jet off to soho). the prices are great, too which is rare for a hayes street boutique.
Pros: Adorable store, great variety of quality products, nice owners
Cons: Parking on Hayes can be argh

Plain Jane's has new owners! While I always liked this store, I never liked the staff. The new staff is friendly and the merchandise is much more reasonably priced. The selection is still great - possibley a little less eclectic but I haven't been disappointed yet. They have upgraded their wrapping and now a website. It's now a great family-owned neighborhood store with a great selection of gift items.

So I needed to sign some papers in front of a notary. I looked on line and chose the closest place to where I lived, which happened to be the FedEx on 2nd and Harrison. I walked in and the manager told me "oh, we do not have a notary here" How the hell can you advertise a service you can't provide??? Anyways, the guy gave me directions to a place "a couple blocks away" I spent a good 30min trying to find this place and finally gave up. Went home and this time I looked at the reviews online to find the place with the best service. Everyone was raving about the ups store on Howard. So I walk over there. They let me bring my dogs in while I was doing my business, and on top of that the owner of the place (a very laid-back friendly guy named Ivan) gives me a beer!!! Not a crappy Bud or Miller either, an Import. I will be going back here for all of my shipping needs. Did I happen to mention they also make keys and have P.O. boxes there? I highly recommend this place.
Pros: Great,friendly, and knowledgable service.
Cons: No cons to mention.
