    Barrettes
    Stephanie Y.

    Not for those looking for a cheap gift, Bird And Bean is a great spot to buy a stylish gift for a little one, or maybe their mammas. They stock mostly super cute clothing and accessories, I'd say for mostly toddlers and up, a nice, but limited selection of higher end baby gifts, and a section dedicated to those stylish mammas. I definitely spied some really nice bags and jewelry pieces that would make me very happy. I ended up with a super cool book about a little boy architect and a pretty snazzy $8 barrette for a cutie I know. She of course had no clue what she received, but her parents were very happy. Return is for store credit only, and again you won't find many bargains or deals here. (They do have one sale rack in front with $20 pieces of clothing.) A+ for the great and super fun and free gift wrapping and Yelp check-in offer for a 10% discount. Definitely a great spot when looking to buy a special occasion present for a certain little person! PS: at least this year, they have a Santa coming for the holidays!

    Great alternative to the "usual" of kids clothes. Knowledgeable, friendly staff. A local merchant I enjoy supporting!

    I absolutely adored the vision that is Bella Vita…read more Walking in, I was taken in by the most amazing collection of barrettes I've ever seen.

This is a local boutique shop that's filled with lots of unique, high-quality apparel, accessories, and gifts for women and children. My sister, who lives in the neighborhood, has been a regular for years. She introduced my wife and me to this delightful place during our last trip to Oakland. We visited on an ordinary Monday afternoon. Owner Jennifer was the only one working at the time. She was friendly. She and my sister know each other from my sister's visits. Jennifer was also helping a couple women at the dressing rooms. The store was sizable, clean, and well organized. It had a homey, curated feel to it. I could tell a lot of thought had been put into each and every product, not only by Jennifer, but by the people who made them. If you're having trouble finding a good gift for a woman/girl, Bella Vita has many interesting and novel items to choose from. They also offer online ordering for pickup in-store or shipping to the lower 48 states.

    I discovered this thrift shop by accident when I found a Kate Spade mini tote bag from their shop…read moreon Etsy. I haven't been to the physical location in Oakland but would like to one day. They did a great job packing and quickly shipping the tote bag. The purchase was kind of funny for a couple reasons. One, I thought it was a vintage bag because I didn't know you could resell newer items on Etsy that are not handmade. It looked vintage to me, so I didn't question it, but it turned out the bag is from a few years ago. No big deal. Second, I didn't pay attention to the bag's measurements or the word "mini" in the title. I had to laugh when I took it out of the box. It's so tiny. It looks like it will maybe fit my phone, wallet, keys, and that's about it. I was expecting it to be much bigger, but that's totally my fault for not paying attention. The tote bag is in excellent new condition with the tag still attached. It also came with a detachable long strap. I'm not sure what I will do with it because its teeny size feels too small for me, but it's an awfully cute bag.

I ordered two Kickee Pants fitted sheets that arrived rolled in an envelope, smelling like mildew and stiff to the touch. The owner's response was that they disclose the no-packaging policy on their website ... fair, but that doesn't explain mildew. And it's worth noting that shipping without packaging saves the store money, not the customer. When I asked for a prepaid return label given the condition, I was told that's never their policy. When I pushed back, the woman replied screenshots attached, that my "life is laughably small" if I consider $100 a premium purchase and that I "wasn't worth the time." I don't know who thinks it's acceptable in this economy to say that to a customer spending $100 on toddler sheets. But apparently Denise doesn't need your money, because $100 means nothing to her. Spend your money somewhere that treats you like a person.

With all the downpour we've been having I needed a strong wellie-style boot, with a cool factor. I showed Liz, the owner, which styles I liked and she immediately started to pull sizes and make recommendations. Liz even checked her system to see when additional colors would be shipped in, and shared the return and exchange policy in conversation. Liz was great, super helpful, very friendly and shared her thoughts on which boot she likes best on me. Quality shoes here, with great prices for what you get. Not a commercial retailer, the stock list here is very special. I'll be coming back for some socks soon. The boots I got? Love em! I did not need to utilize the return or exchange policy, superb. Shout out to Liz. Shopping is about being social, making new friends and knowing what you want while being open to new things. I got all of that with Liz at Tootsie's. I was even able to put the boots on hold for a couple of hours, and came back to purchase. Looking for some kicks? Stop by Tootsie's.

The store had a great atmosphere--clean, well-organized, and the variety of shoes was impressive. I did not expect them to have such a wide variety. Liz, the owner, was amazing. She is so easy to work with and no pressure. She just kept bringing me shoes I was interested in and we worked together to find my size. She is incredibly knowledgeable and has been at this a couple of decades. Another plus was the price range--there were options for every budget. I left with three pairs of shoes and one was even on sale. My shoe selection had suffered in the pandemic and it was time to freshen up my closet. Thanks Liz. Store also owns Crush clothing next store and has purses, wallets and some jewelry for gifts.
