It wasn't sold and when I asked Marci Ludwig about it, she just shrugged it off. It's not the item or even the money but the principle behind it.

I have found baby shower gifts birthday gifts white elephant gifts ornaments and honestly something for every occasion you can imagine. The selection is always creative and feels thoughtful not generic. I especially love the Sunset District merch because it is always a crowd favorite and feels personal without trying too hard. The stationery is also dangerously cute and the wrapping paper and gift bags are truly top tier which honestly makes the gift feel even better. If you are looking for a gift whether you are panicking or just browsing this place is a must stop. And as if it needed another reason to love it one time a bunch of hummingbirds flew into the store and were just flying around. I do not know about you but I fully believe hummingbirds are a good omen so at this point the good vibes are confirmed

I didn't even realize that Wishbone (the former store in this location) is now called "My…read moreFavorite," until hours later in Golden Gate Park - after I glanced at the artful "My Favorite" stamp on the brown paper bag from my recent purchase. I suspect that the delay in recognizing the name change was because My Favorite has very similar inventory to Wishbone. I was pleased to learn that it is even run by a former Wishbone employee. On my recent visit here, I was particularly enamored with My Favorite's jewelry section. My eyes were drawn to a pair of delicate beaded gold earrings and the daintiest elegant beaded bracelet. In addition to their well curated jewelry items, they also carry fun SF themed puzzles, cute dishcloths, empowering kids books - and other colorful quirky finds I ended up buying a petite hooked rug pillow with daffodils on it - to commemorate my Welsh heritage - https://www.wales.com/about/welcome-wales/national-symbols-wales . I had hoped the pillow was handmade, but after talking with the helpful and kind staff member here when checking out, she revealed that it was likely mass produced in a factory in China. I appreciated her candid honesty. Even though the pillow was actually fairly hard to the touch, and not handmade - I felt called to purchase it. I would much rather say "aw I love this place," as I pay for an item, rather than "aw I loved that place," when the business is gone. My hard whimsical daffodil pillow now sits upright in the corner of our place. A reminder that even small purchases help support wonderful local businesses. Trust.

She never pushed any specific product on us and encouraged us to test out every product we were interested in and set up weighted dolls in so we could see what it felt like.

No hassle no headache.

Terrible customer service. Aldea Home & Baby should be embarrassed by how they treated us…read more We ordered a stroller and Nuna Pipa Aire car seat because we wanted to support a small business. Instead, we got 1.5 months of delays, disorganization, rude treatment, and no reliable timeline for the one item required to discharge a newborn from the hospital. I am currently admitted to the hospital for six weeks with a high-risk pregnancy, and my husband has had to deal with their confusion and attitude while we prepare for our baby under extremely stressful circumstances. After waiting far too long, we asked for a refund so we could buy a car seat elsewhere in time. They refused, then suddenly claimed it was ready and tried to push it on us anyway. This store is disorganized, rude, and completely lacking accountability. No one should have to chase a baby store for the one safety item required to bring their newborn home. The least they could do is honor the refund but they can't even do that. Seems like this is a common experience if you look at their Yelp and Google reviews.

Babyproofing can feel like you're both overthinking and underprepared--but Ben made the whole process feel easy and completely stress-free. He offered thoughtful, non-judgmental guidance, walked us through our home with a grounded perspective, and gave us great product recommendations (with options to order directly through them or via Amazon). The installation process was seamless--Ben was a great problem solver, super detail-oriented, and made sure everything was done right. He even installed our convertible car seats while he was here, which was such a helpful bonus. If you're feeling overwhelmed by childproofing, beep! beep! is the way to go. As an added note- we also used them for our infant car seat installs before baby was born and it was also SO helpful and a service we'd highly recommend.

It's also a great place to get a gift for a special little one! There's always a decent sized sales rack at the entrance. What makes this store truly amazing is the owner.

I had tears when reading how generous of a person she was. Not only did she give him incredible See Kai Run shoes, but she also have super stylish pants, shirts and PJs. My family and I are forever grateful for her kindness and generosity. Thank you, thank you. Support small businesses like Small Frys!

We found a recliner that we actually wanted but we wanted to check out the car seats and strollers first. We were informed minutes later by a worker there about the appointment system and that it was by appointment only unfortunately. She mentioned booking an appointment for a consultation later but that wouldn't have worked for us. I should've read the comments before making a trip there.

I wish I could give zero stars. I can't speak to the cleaning but boyyy can I speak to the service…read more My 12 month old son came down with the stomach flu while we were out of town. So he vomitted his car seat many, many times as we were coming home. It is so gross and it desperately needs a professional deep clean. I'm a single mom on a budget but getting my son's seat deep cleaned for him was worth the cost. So I booked an appointment to drop off Sunday at 2pm with the only provider in my area. I was charged immediately of course and planned my Sunday around getting this taken care of. But today is Sunday and I went into my email to get the address, only to find out I was never sent a confirmation email. Weird, since I was given a confirmation number upon booking. So, I logged into my account and it said I didn't have any cleanings scheduled! But surely that is wrong, since I was given a confirmation number and they already took almost $100 out of my account, right? Apparently not. I used the live chat/text customer service option on the website to help. Maya started replying to me, but she is unable to be helpful, as for some bizarre reason that online chat feature only exists to help make NEW bookings (ie. get BabyQuip more money) and she is unable to help anyone who has already paid. (No "post-purchase help" she said.) She gave me an email address so I emailed it but of course BabyQuip doesn't answer emails on the weekend. So I'm still unsure what to do about my Sunday appt at that point. Through pretending I was going to make a new booking, I was able to get the local provider's phone number. I texted her asking to confirm our appointment, and for a while, she won't answer. I called 3 times and left a voicemail, and finally just a few minutes before our appt is supposed to be, she responds by text telling me she had attempted to transfer my appt to someone else (WTF?!?) and maybe it didn't work, so she just gave me a refund and said she can't help me. First of all, transferring me to someone else when there aren't others in my area is a red flag. Why wouldn't BabyQuip contact me? If no one was available I would understand and would have asked for my refund to be processed immediately so I could go about booking somewhere else. But they didn't do that. They didn't contact me. They just let my appointment disappear, neither booked nor cancelled, and they kept my money, until I had to go through the hassle of sorting it all out, with no help whatsoever from BabyQuip. And now, because I can't afford to pay twice, I am stuck putting my son is a car seat with dried vomit in the crevices for several more days before the refund is fully returned to my account and I can afford to book with a more competent baby gear cleaning company. Absolutely terrible company with no concern for the time or money of the parents attempting to use their service.
