It's been a while since I was last in the village. A nice little last minute getaway to help…read moresurprise a friend for a birthday getaway. The good thing about big bear, it's a couple hours from LA or Palm Springs. A small mountain retreats that does have some special gems here and there. We've been coming for years and it's always a nice little break away from the crazy traffic in the city. Depending on seasons and when you visit, the crowds do make a big difference. We popped in for an overnight stay on Sunday. And I must say, the place was lively. Restaurant open and people out and about around town. Either the families checking out after their weekend stay or taking in the last effect of the mountain. The village itself isn't too big. One main strip that's a couple blocks radius that will lead you down to the marinas waterfront's. You'll have all your tourist mom and pop shops, a few restaurants, cafe, movie theaters, candy shops, a bar and so on. There's a good amount of things to do along the strip. Just heads up, their hours (shops and cafe) seemed to be a bit off when it comes to opening. Early morning trying to find a place opened for coffee and tea was an ordeal. Certain places say they're open but when you get there, nothing. It is nice to walk the strip when no one is there but also sucks when you can't find a place for a morning pick me up...lol... Depending on the season, summer does bring in a lot of family's for the lake. Then you have winter for the mountains and skiing. Spring and autumn brings everyone as well and good with hiking. Regardless when you visit, it's alway a nice place to check out. Just in my opinion, a few days is enough...lol... There's loads of housing options available. Bigger resort chains, timeshare, Airbnb, smaller boutiques, cabins and so on. Loads of places to stay. Also, they're pretty much all not too far from the village. Ski season, I do recommend being near the slopes as it'll be easier to get to. It's a fun little weekend getaway. Mid week is slow and places do close as there's no walking traffic. A nice break from the city.

There are so many shops here, ranging from food spots to souvenir shops, and it's honestly a really…read morelovely area to walk around! Some of the shops have their own unique spark, which I really liked. At least not every souvenir shop feels exactly the same, so there's a little more variety when you're browsing around. I also really liked that there were different themed restaurants and dessert shops throughout the area. It was nice to see those little pops of something different instead of everything feeling too similar. Another big plus is that there's plenty of parking, with lots of different parking lots around the area, so we weren't too worried about finding a spot. It was also pretty cool to see a horse-drawn carriage going down the road! It was definitely moving slowly, but it was unexpected and made for a fun little thing to watch while we were walking around.

Decided to check it out as the name interested me "A Piece of Idyllwild." This is a very cute souvenir shop to have some good memories from your time here. I remember seeing soaps, houseware, T-shirts, hoodies, trucker hats, and a machine that can personalize your gifts. I picked up a trucker's cap (which I wear quite frequently as I lost my original one from the Grand Canyon) along with some postcards. The shopkeeper was open past her usual hours, but she told me she stayed open as it was a holiday weekend and she was getting a lot more customers because of it. Got to know her a bit. She originally used to live in San Diego, but moved out here as she wanted to try her hand at managing her own gift shop - which I thought was pretty awesome. Would definitely recommend checking her shop out. It was very cute and seemed decent for pricing.

My favorite part about this store is the dog clothes. Usually, you can find onesies for doggies. Plus, matching onesies for the human! lol I was so excited to buy a onesie for my new puppy. Sadly, the selection for dogs was terrible this time. There were only a couple of things for dogs. And none in XS for my puppy. I was sad. I really wanted a onesie for my pups and matching ones for me and my husband. I'm hoping this was just a fluke that the doggy section was thin/ almost nonexistent. Prices are a bit steep.

The name and the way the business is categorized made me think it was primarily a gourmet chocolate and gift shop. The coffee and espresso drinks are excellent. I actually thought the coffee shop across the street was the only coffee option in Sun City, and since it's closed on Saturdays and Sundays, I assumed there just wasn't anywhere to get good coffee on the weekends. Then I finally discovered MalibuGift! My only wish is that they had a couple of small tables inside. I really enjoy sitting down with my coffee and a cookie (or whatever delicious thing I've bought) and enjoying it for a little while. They do have outdoor seating, but I'd love to see a tiny indoor coffee-shop area, even if it were just a couple of tables. I really think they could make the coffee side of the business more obvious. If you're looking for coffee in Sun City, don't overlook MalibuGift. It's a hidden gem--and their chocolate and cookies are pretty damn good too.
