Every time I am there I have noticed that manager being rude to the employees but not like that. The manager was old too I can see why she'd be mad all the time! I also asked the employee if she was okay after that interaction and she said yes and told me that the lady was the only mean one to her since she started and the staff is always nice. All the managers are very nice so I don't know why they would hire her or allow her to talk to employees like that. This place is normally happy place everyone is happy but that was the first time I've had any encounter or witness anything like that. Extremely sad and rude of that manager shame on her. This definitely changed my store preference.

I am originally from Tennessee, and I love sending little goodie boxes back home to my family, and this has become my go to spot for finding unique, thoughtful items that travel well. What I love most is how incredibly curated everything feels. The store is beautifully color coded, which not only makes it easy to browse but also makes the whole space feel super aesthetic and inspiring. You can walk in without a plan and still leave with a perfectly themed set of gifts. It is especially great for stocking stuffers since there are so many small, fun, and high quality items that feel personal without being over the top. Every time I visit, I end up discovering something new, whether it is cute stationery, candles, or little trinkets that are perfect for gifting. It really takes the stress out of putting together something special for loved ones. The only thing I would love to see more of is Jellycat plush selection. I think expanding that would help them reach an even bigger audience because those are always such a hit in gift boxes. Overall, Pigment is such a gem and a must visit if you are looking for gifts that feel thoughtful, curated, and just a little bit special.

We met Hannah and Hannah who were running the shop and they were absolutely lovely! You can tell they put so much time and effort into making this place what it is. The prices are so fair and what thrifting is supposed to be. Their clothing is $4 dollars and their shoes are inexpensive as well. Their knick knacks were also very well priced and I got a computer bag that was brand new for $12 dollars. They also had mystery fun bags and we HAD to snag one, for $3 it's worth it in the fun of opening it alone. We ended up with some blankets, hats, and a gps and we had a blast tearing it open in the car (we couldn't wait). They also are a plant shop with lots of greenery all over and plants to purchase. I have a black thumb so I stayed away but the prices for them were also unbeatable. I HIGHLY recommend checking this place out. We love how they've curated the space to be and it's so worth the trip.

Besides the fact that parking is a frank issue in this location, what with currently unenforceable requirements to pay for parking (either managed by the private lot or by the City), assuming this is also meant for people who are just stopping by to drop something off, this location is small but very quaint. It is very prone to being very crowded. However, the décor is a worthy sight for sore eyes: it truly is a lovely setup they have. I encountered a couple of lovely women who appeared to be running the shop, and inquired about how much clothing they're willing to take. It seems that they can only take a heavily limited amount of such, and I was able to drop off a kitchen trash bag's worth of clothes. I didn't complain, because I understand (at least mostly, since I fully realised and acknowledged it shortly after I left) the limited capacity they have to work with. The entire transaction was painless and easy. I do recommend stopping here for the reasons above, and to be reasonably wary of the environment you will be getting yourself into. I plan on coming here again if I ever have to donate anything in particular.

This was located directly across from it and we decided to check it out after I had seen it on Yelp. The whole store is our aesthetic and they carry great pieces like richer poorer, rhythm, knickerbocker, outerknown, vitruvi (essential oil diffuser). We're pretty familiar with these brands so the price point isn't really shocking to us, but I could see why it would be for some. The associate helping us out today was super friendly, I wish I got his name to give him a proper shoutout. Best part is the dressing rooms are open as my boyfriend loves to make sure his clothes fit just right, especially if he's going to make a pricier purchase.

I've consistently found that TJ Maxx has the best prices on these items consistently. Sometimes the line at the register is really long, but they are generally pretty efficient and you can get through it without too much pain.

It's pretty autonomous but if you need help the instructor is there to assist you. After you create your pieces, you pick a glaze and then clean up the work station.

Loved our recent visit to Botanica in Ocean Beach! At first glance, it looks like an adorable plant…read moreshop, but they also host ceramic wheel-throwing classes, which my boyfriend and I decided to try--and I'm so glad we did. Our class was on a really nice day, and for a super reasonable price, we got 1.5 hours on the wheel, which felt like the perfect amount of time. The wheel throwing class is either indoors (behind the plant shop) or in the back (half exposed garage). We were in the back and it was a good amount of space for our group of 4 people. There were more couples next to us as well. Also, I loved that they allow you to bring outside drinks to enjoy while creating, making it a fun and relaxed experience. Our instructor was great--attentive when needed but also gave space to explore at your own pace. This wasn't our friend time on the wheel, but we were with friends who were new to wheel-throwing, so he assisted when needed. I can't wait to see our finished ceramic pieces! Whether you're a plant lover, an aspiring ceramicist, or just looking for a unique experience, Botanica is definitely worth checking out. After your session, it's a good excuse to explore the streets of OB - especially on a very sunny day. I'll definitely come back another time.
