I specially like their section on $1 tools. Incredible! A friend of mine actually got a flat the other day and I used my $1 wrench to work on his tire. Cool!
REALLY GOOD finds!

I have frequented this little comic store for ages and they always have a great selection. What I like about the store is that they have a strong collection of comics outside of mainstream (e.g. Marvel, DC) that I often had problems finding through other places. The employees are nice and friendly, and good to debate about characters and possible future storyline plots. As they are a collectible shop, they make sure to keep their stock in prim condition and always package their merchandise in protective coverings (and a cardboard backing for the comics).

I don't love the Disney store, but when I'm forced to go in there by the kids I always find some great deals. Apparently they always have sales, and you can find some pretty good ones regularly. I like the little toys because they are the most economical, but you can also get full priced CDs and DVDs and clothes with tons of logos on them (shouldn't they pay you to wear all that crap?). As I said, I don't choose to go in, but I do end up buying something most times.

I have ordered so many bouquets at the Foster City Flowers & Gifts: for my mom and my grandma and people at work. The shop makes beautiful personal bouquets and they are just so magnificent and special-lloking. Not the kind of generic-looking bouquets you can buy at Safeway.
Prices are MUCH higher then safeway prices - but you get what you pay for. You can simply just get a nice expansive bouquet there and not buy a gift to go with it.

I ordered one for a party and everyone loved it. They create an amazing arrangement of fruit formed into the shape of flowers. You can eat every piece. Great conversation piece.

From El Camino I never thought that the store was so beautiful and so much to offer with pleasant, smiling, helpful staff. A large selections of VERY fresh flowers and plant and unique gift items. After speaking with the staff I was shocked to learn that they have been in business for over 25+years. I highly recommend the store because of their excellent service, lovely showroom and fresh products. Check them out.

This is such a cute store! I love a lot of the silver stuff they have here. They engrave a lot of great message and design on anything you like. I really like that the service is nice and prompt about all your choice and very helpful in selecting cute jewelry and lastest favoriate from all over. The prices are very reasonable and you can find a great personalize gift here. The store is very charming and the people are very nice and helpful. I love that it’s quiet design and long lasting style that makes any piece from here very memorable.

More
While I'm a fan of collecting photos and splicing together trinkets to remember events by, I would not highly recommend Things Remembered. Their little selection in what they have to offer and slightly high prices isn't anything that you couldn't find for less at another store. While they can engrave many items they carry, they take a long period of time to get back and sometimes it is not ideal for certain events. I would only recommend this as a last resort, but I do admit that some of their things are a decent buy.
PROS: certain things you can't find elsewhere
CONS: high prices.
