For ski equipment, the Riverbrook team is also outstanding. They get you outfitted the way you want and they don't push items on you that you don't want. I highly receommend Riverbrook.

As I said in my previous review, Glik's is a bit of a Hayward tradition for my sister-and-law and…read moreI. It's our excuse to buy some fun clothes that we'd actually like to wear again while on vacation. And we were happy to see that Glik's was open on our most recent trip, considering everything going on with COVID-19. We strived to be safe on this trip and take proper precautions. This involved during a quick trip to downtown Hayward. And we found that Glik's has put up a plexiglass barrier at the register, to help protect staff and guests. The dressing rooms were also closed to guests. This did provide some difficulty when it came to deciding what to buy, but I understand why they did this. Holding up a shirt to myself while looking in a mirror gave me an idea, and happily, the shirt fit when I got home and tried it on. The owner/manager was there when we visited. She's always been friendly when we've seen her. Happy to find that this is the same Glik's, with some extra precautions in place.

If you're a fan of Forever 21 or H&M you definitely will like this store. It's geared to the younger set and has reasonably fashionable items at good prices. As a super bonus, they sell Toms shoes. One weird thing - I stopped in looking for sandals, wandered around for a bit and never saw a single employee.

Granted this store is more of a clothing store than anything else but I suppose when people ATV, snowmachine, ski, cross country ski, hike, bike, run, and visit the weather is bound to catch people by surprise and clothing is the first thing people say Oh Crap I Forgot!! The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly. The store is clean and well stocked. Nice selection of footwear but SLIM selection of "gear" for hiking, camping, backpacking. They carry all the best name brands in a variety of sizes S-XL. Spendy but heck. You already know that. You're in Hayward!

It's been a long time since I spent two hours in a thrift store. It's not that this shop is huge,…read morebut the selection is so well curated, unique and delightful that I lost myself for an afternoon while perusing all the treasures. Completely volunteer-run, this shop really has some cool stuff. Make sure you check out what's in the cases, as one special volunteer looks up all the vintage treasures and decides how to price them. The people here really care about animals and donate their time and goods to make animals' lives better. While I was there, I heard several conversations sharing the love of animals and even saw a few people stop in to donate their unique treasures. I especially loved the craft section, Vintage Christmas ornaments, the jewelry section, and enjoyed looking through the records. I even had to go home with a painting, although we had very limited space in our car. Don't miss the entire room for men's stuff called the "Man Cave"!

I'll buy them online for Christmas gifts this year. Great stocking stuffer! Stock included standard postcards, magnets, notecards, color books, mugs, children's books and recipes all from Scandinavia. Christmas knick knacks galore. August in Hayward was not the time for Christmas gifts. CUTE kiddie clothing. Warm socks. Shows straight for over the pond. A few choice Rosemaling pieces from a local artist. Beautiful. Pricy but worth it. My grandma had many of the same pieces in her home years ago. Great store. I bought a bumper sticker because this Norwegian couldn't find anything worth dropping a wad of cash but I'm glad I stopped in.
