I can't say enough wonderful things about this local gem of a gift shop! We were in a real bind --…read moreI had completely underestimated how long it takes to get a gift basket delivered (apparently about a week!), and I realized far too late that we needed something ready before visiting a client. To make matters more complicated, the basket was meant for a group in an office setting, and while the shop offered gourmet baskets with locally sourced items, they didn't have quite the right mix of items on hand for that kind of crowd. But instead of turning us away, they stepped in with creativity, flexibility, and genuine kindness. We brought in items we thought would work, including some company promotional items, and they beautifully arranged everything into three polished, professional gift bins that looked like they had been planned weeks in advance. They truly saved the day. Their willingness to help, attention to detail, and can-do attitude made all the difference. It's rare to find a business so committed to making things work for their customers. We're incredibly grateful and we'll absolutely be back. Thank you for going above and beyond!

This store is located in downtown Santa Rosa and I'm so grateful that I found this place! The…read moreperson working at the store was friendly, informative, and helpful! While doing my holiday shopping, I wanted to be mindful of the products I purchased this year and intentional in my gift giving. I also wanted to support other local small businesses. The Store Next Door has products that are mainly made in The North Bay area and all of the products are made by small businesses across the United States. I loved knowing that I am supporting small businesses that have been hit hard by Covid and our current economy. They have all kinds of unique gifts such as food and beverages, jewelry, bath and body products, totes, charcuterie boards and cutting boards, items for your home, great gifts for kids, and so much more! Whether you are getting a gift for yourself to treat yourself or giving a gift to a loved one, this place is a great place to shop. It has lots of items if you are looking for a birthday gift, a gift for a child, a house warming gift, and so much more! I will definitely be coming back to this store! I left with some items as gifts and bath salts for myself.

If you find yourself near Old Courthouse Square and haven't ducked into Corrick's, you're doing…read moreSanta Rosa wrong. I stopped in to hunt for a Valentine's Day gift and was immediately met with a bewildering number of choices. It's the kind of place where you go in for one thing and end up contemplating an entire lifestyle upgrade. Their selection of greeting cards is easily the best in the area--actually witty, high-quality stuff that doesn't feel like a grocery store afterthought. What really makes this spot a gem is their support for the community. I managed to score a fantastic Valentine's piece from a local artisan, which beats a generic box of chocolates any day. Whether you're looking for fine crystal, unique jewelry, or quirky home decor, the variety is genuinely impressive. The service was top-notch--helpful without hovering--and you can't beat the ideal location right in the heart of downtown. It's a local institution for a reason.

We try to buy local instead of at department or chain stores. However, when the stitching on an…read moreexpensive pair of pants unraveled after only 2 wearings, the store refused to exchange them, citing a strict 14-day exchange period. Had I bought them at a department store, they would have gladly made it right. This was an obvious defect in workmanship, not a case of buyer's remorse or change of heart. A simple exchange for an identical pair without the defect would have meant keeping a customer.

I stopped in again this weekend and found a lightweight knit white sweater, perfect for our cooler spring/summer nights. And at a reasonable price point. This boutique carries hip women's clothing and some accessories (think bags, belts, and bracelets...and more). I love the bright store interior and the fun brands they carry. Staff are always friendly and welcoming.

Basing a low rating on a snippet of conversation you disagreed with seems a bit off-base and more than a little judgemental, no? Especially when you noted the warm greeting and polite exit. Thrift stores are about community and reuse, not ideological purity tests. The Ark is clean, welcoming, and packed with affordable goodies--who cares if the chit-chat behind the counter doesn't match your specific worldview? If we started judging businesses solely on overheard opinions, we'd all be shopping in echo chambers. Props to the polite team; they've earned my repeat business for the deals, not the discourse.

This is a very organized thrift store, and I seem to always find something that I need. Don't forget to check downstairs for all the furniture! Prices are pretty good, although I don't know of any sale days, I could go home with an outfit for less than $30, and sometimes the clothes are actually new with tags.
