We went back to exchange them for stickers that actually work and they said they can't without a receipt. I understand if it was something more expensive but they're stickers.. & to not allow an exchange is pretty cheap imo. Go get your stickers at beach bazaar right across the street!

More unique gifts; not just the usual beach items you see in So many other coastal shops. Prices are very good, for quality items. Shop is fun and relaxing to browse. This year, i got this coaster, and decided to add a shell i found to make it a daily memory to enjoy. If youre looking for a gift, they wrap all items so nicely in a cute bag, and teal colored tissue. Men, surprise your favorite partner with a momento from Gidgets! Shop and enjoy, at Gidget's!

There are many decorations also made with the seashells and Christmas ornaments as well. Today, their flea market was held there. There were different antique items and old school beachy decorations. They were pretty darling and some pretty interesting. Fun place to stop by when you are in the area.

If you're looking for shells to take home from the beach, or shells for an art project, this is the place to buy them.

I have no relation to the people that own the shop. I had never even been in the shop before today. However, after spending 10 days down here on this island, this is the best shop here.

Very unique. Woman staffing the place was lovely, well spoken, and very helpful. I think her name was Adina. Like many of the shops in the region, the clerk makes all the difference. And the sale.

In fact, when I was in St…read more Armand's Circle, there were stores selling t-shirts and other merch.. but as a typical souvenir- it was not there. So, in siesta key village it's the only good store providing visitors and residents on Siesta Key with what they want to enjoy the beautiful 8-mile beach and warm Gulf coast waters. Normally I collect magnets, shots glasses, and some frames and if anything local-then I go for that, like a tiki statue in this case. From beach mats, flops and sandals, chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, and sunscreen to sunglasses and trendy surf shorts, this well-stocked shop has a great range of clothing and equipment to choose from. and coming to souvenirs - it has all the range. When Shop says they have "Everything for the beach" they mean EVERYTHING! it has 3 sections, and you can find almost anything needed for the beach. Beach Bazaar knows exactly what you need at a low price

There's a little bit of something for everyone here, whether it's cute beach clothes, actual vintage clothes, jewelry both maximalist and more dainty, books for the avid reader, and toys and a whole kids section. They have a wine nook for those interested, and an adorable section of beach-themed Christmas ornaments, some even made from actual oysters. And naming each options of goods, they all have their own sizable sections. A big section for jewelry, an entire book nook, and big section for vintage clothes, etc. It's a lot of fun to wander through all of it. I would say the prices are a little higher than I prefer for most of the items. But they seem to be pretty nice quality so at least there's that. The gal that works behind the counter most days is also super friendly. Don't miss this adorable store towards the far end of Pine Ave on AMI!

I want to like this place but now after multiple visits I have been disappointed by the quality and…read morestaff and won't be coming back. The outside is so nice and inside is decorated well (super dark though - poor lighting especially in the coffee shop). I first went a year ago and the coffee was poorly made (the beans they used then were from one of my favorite local roasters...the espresso shots were pulled incorrectly). Same thing this visit, everything was bitter and tasted burnt (we got multiple drinks for my family both visits). I asked about the beans and their onsite roaster to learn if they roasted everything or if they also used a local roaster and the barista was clueless and said "well they are beans and that's a roaster thing I guess?" The first visit the staff were just rude both the coffee shop and the overpriced store. This time no one was managing the store front and the baristas were so confused, could not keep orders straight and a line grew for people at the coffee shop that just wanted to buy something from the store. My son had ordered a croissant ($7) they called my name, my son went to grab it for me and the guy told him that is not his. I was there with him, told him my name and he said, no it is for someone else. So it sat there getting cold for almost 10mins while we waited for our coffee (meanwhile they were giving other people the wrong items). When my coffee order was ready I asked again and mentioned no one had taken the croissant and if I could now take it, he looked at me and almost said no but the other barista was like yea that is his. The outside gives this place the second star. Sadly the change in ownership has not improved the organization or level of quality. This past visit was on a Wednesday and not a peak time. I may have also just come on two really bad days looking at the other reviews. The prices warrant a better more consistent experience in my opinion.

I paid close to $700 back in May 2016 and never heard a thing after numerous emails and phone messages left. Finally on 7/11/2016 I reached someone only to be told that not all the pieces were available but some might be. I then had to call again on 7/13/2016 to be told that they had no idea what was available and nothing was being done....so in my frustration I cancelled the order and was told I would get a refund. It is 7/30/2016, over 2 weeks and NO REFUND. I have initiated a charge back from my credit card company. This level of incompetence is UNREAL. This place knows my phone number and my email address but chose to NEVER contact me about their inability to fulfill the order. Today the exact same knife set is STILL ADVERTISED as available on their web site. Pathetically run business and in my mind, completely untrustworthy. How can it take TWO MONTHS to get back to me?? I wasn't in Afghanistan! I had to exert the effort investigate this and force the refund I was promised. This knife set was sentimental in nature and I WASTED 2 MONTHS with this merchant when I COULD HAVE FOUND THEM ELSEWHERE. As it stands not the items are being discontinued and are NOW even harder to find after waiting over 2 months! Thanks for your incompetence and horrible communication!!!!! NEVER PATRONIZE THIS PLACE!
