My mom and I both purchased purses and identical wallets from this store. Unfortunately, when we got home we discovered the zippers on both wallets were defective. We went back the following weekend and the owner was apologetic and more than willing to offer a refund with a receipt or store credit. We both love the purses we purchased and have no issues but it was great knowing they stand behind their products. They also have some cute clothing - sweaters, dresses along with some decorative pillows and more. Their bulldog, Lovely was there the second time we went and she was so friendly and sweet. All in all, we had a positive experience and will be back!

I'm a big kid who loves miniature stuff. There was a rack of tiny toys - functioning board games the size of keychains. I carefully selected Blokus LOL. I went in to mail something (they have a postal office window). There weren't bubble bags for shipping smaller items so I went off to Staples for one. It's a great place to shop for gifts if you needed ideas. A variety of items packed into this little store. Surely, you'll discover fun items for gifting - even if only for yourself.

They do have good products here, but I'm better off shopping at Target or other places with snow globes at a cheaper price.

I've ordered online from Hilltop Gifts before when I was making little freebies for concerts, but today was the first time I've stopped by and it was such a treat getting to chat with the owner, Oliver. He's friendly, personable, and a great conversationalist. The prices here are pretty reasonable - a k pop poster cost me $3.50 and 3/$10 and there's a good variety of them to choose from. Overall, a great store to stop at if you're in the area. I'm sure you'll be able to find something.

Visited Tyme for Tea for the first time this holiday season. The minute you step foot inside,…read moreyou're welcomed with cozy, charming, and festive vibes. The business is both a tea room and shop with tea ware, decor, vintage clothes, and other items for sale. Reservations are a must and my family was seated promptly at 1:30pm. The menu has two tea options and we each opted for Victorian tea. They present the scone first on a separate plate rather than on the tiered tray. The scone was delicious nonetheless, served warm and with three spreads: cream, lemon curd, and a seasonal maple butter which was a standout. The sandwiches were tasty and also served warm, with unique offerings like a cheese melt and mini quiche. My favorite was a cheese puff pastry item. The cucumber cream cheese sandwich was slightly hard to the bite (possibly overripe), but still tasty. The tea menu listed all flavor profiles and decaf options which I appreciated. I ordered a decaf blackberry sage English breakfast which went well with the scone and desserts (fudge, snow cookie, petit four). I enjoyed the warm scones the most, and the savory items second. This is one of the best value afternoon tea services I've found in the Bay Area for the price. Service was well paced and all parties were well situated so that everyone had their own corner. They even had a pile of a tea party hats to choose from towards the back wall. Overall, I would highly recommend Tyme for Tea and it's my favorite tea room I've tried in the East Bay. This business also perfectly complements the historic and charming qualities of the Niles neighborhood.

It was not only fun to support a local new business with a 10% discount, but to scratch off a possibility of winning a $15 voucher when you purchase $30. Although I didn't win the $15 voucher, but ended up scratching off for a pen offer, I thought it was a creative incentive.

The owner was very friendly and welcoming, chatting with me a little bit about little dog as I was the only person in the shop then. I do love that there are quite a lot of hair claw clips, was able to find one that looked like my dog (white maltipoo). For their grand opening, there was a 10% off discount and my clip was packaged in the cutest little bag. I'm definitely keeping it to reuse as a cute gift bag for sure! Final Thoughts: Adorable little shop that's perfect for cute gifts with fairly reasonable prices for the items. I'm sure people will say they can find items for cheaper else where, but as a small business in Castro Valley, it is nice to be able to shop and check out items in person.

The customer service was really great and I loved how I could use Apple Pay especially since I left my wallet at home.

When I was shopping there (5/17/26), Thousand Skies had a free reusable bag for any purchase of $50 or more on their merch. Not sure how long they will keep this promotion, so hurry and make your visit if this is something you'd like!
