This is your classic upscale beach town gift shop. You will most certainly NOT see cheesy magnets…read moreor novelty t-shirts. This is a shop for people that own beach houses or have relatives that do. Or who have fully embraced the nautical or "beach" aesthetic in their homes. I do tease. This stores carries a well-curated array of gifts. These include such things as hand-made pottery, jewelry, candles, cards and an array of objet d'arts. There is dominant color palate of blues, greens and driftwood. It is a very nice shop and one that you could easily spend quite a while picking out a tasteful gift for a loved one. The Steamer Trunk has a lovely inventory. And it of course carries merchandise emblazoned with "Catalina Island." It's just that it's the same inventory I've seen when I've visited my mother near Rehobeth Beach. Or the Waterfront in Baltimore where my sister lives. It would have been nice to have seen some more local artists/artisans represented. As you might expect, the gift shop wasn't on the cheap side, but, to be fair, for the quality of the goods for sale it was reasonable. Resort towns (and California and especially Catalina) are typically on the pricier side. This is an economy fed primarily through tourism. But, again, prices were not exorbitant. When I visited there several other shoppers in the store and the woman tending the register was answering question for them. I felt like I would have no problem getting helpful answers. So, while not unique, definitely a place to find some beautiful gifts.

After my first pass of "window shopping," I wanted to get a gift for my granddaughter…read more Unfortunately, we were there on a Sunday and shops close at 5 pm or 6 pm. We were disappointed that we missed coming back to this store only to have missed them being open. I am always looking for something unique, and I usually will spend a substantial amount of money on the right thing. It's unfortunate that I was not staying overnight on Catalina. It was a missed sale for the shop owner and a return trip is not in my near future. In addition, on my initial visit when it was open, I was not asked if wanted to see any items. So service here was lacking. I am a Filipino woman and after reading the complaints by customers of Latino descent, I am now realizing maybe this is why I wasn't helped during my visit. Seeing the racial discrimination posted by other customers, my recommendation is DON'T SHOP AT THIS STORE.

As soon as you enter, you're going to encounter sparkles: from the disco-mannequin draped in jewels in the front window to the various crystals hanging from the ceiling. There is a lot of jewelry in silver featuring semi-precious stones, from dainty rings to larger statement pieces. At the same time, there are also products like incense for sale. As well as a number of Buddhist and Hindu deity statues. And a number of other sculptures and figures for decorative or spiritual purposes. On the wall hang a collection of South, Southeast Asian and African wall-hangings and masks. The prices for fine jewelry in silver and semi-precious stones was quite reasonable. Other shell and bead pieces were even more inexpensive. This is definitely a place to pick up a sparkling souvenir from your time in Catalina.

This shop by the way smells so good. They have scented candles that fills the store with such a favorable scent. Catalina Pottery & Tile have a variety of merchandise for sale.

This year, we decided to look at their "Epic Magnet Wall".
