I love, love, love Ohana Creations!…read more I've bought items here and there throughout the years. I love the products they have - straight from Hawaii. Plus it's always fun to look around. THIS time was extra special for me - I'd ordered 8 leis for my father's memorial service. He lived much of his life in Hawaii, so we had everyone wear Hawaiian shirts to his service. It was beautiful. We bought these leis for close family members to wear there. It was SO special. They were beautiful and fresh and were ready that morning, just in time for me to pick them up and take them to the church. Every employee involved that I spoke to was super helpful and respectful and watching them hone their craft in front of my very eyes was super impressive. I'm so glad you all are here in Carlsbad. Thank you Ohana, for helping make this very hard time so meaningful and special.

Looooove this store. The selection is super cute! I want everything in this store. I have to…read morepractice self control not to buy everything. Luckily I found this store on the shop app so I can still shop there without physically having to be in san diego.

We've been coming here for years. The service is always super helpful and friendly.

Their product mix is always special...not what you'd find at a big box retailer or toy store.

My grandchildren, like most children whose age is a single digit, think that every store should…read moresell toys and that more is better. They have a point. Grocery stores stock toys at kids' eye level. Target has several aisles stocked with toys that have their own television shows. Best Buy displays toys next to the checkout line. Gepetto's in Carlsbad is a small store stocked with top-quality toys, and in my experience staffed with people who are always eager to help and often able to help. The place is insane during the week before Christmas, but the staff somehow copes. I try not to go there at Christmastime. Shopping with a child for toys in a store whose inventory is not advertised on television is much simpler and more satisfying than taking the same kid to Target. Trust me, I've done both. Since in general the toys at Gepetto's are unknown to the child, there is far less of the "gimme gimme" that happens at Target. And whether a toy is still interesting and unbroken the next day is unrelated to its advertising. A 5-year-old in my family was astonished that there were no Minecraft toys at Gepetto's, and asked if we could go to the nearby bookstore because it would for sure have Minecraft toys. I find Gepetto's selection of child-compatible art supplies to be superior to what's in stores like Michael's, but they cost more. I don't mind.

Overpriced at every turn. Everything in the store is 5$ more than it is at any other store. I don't…read moreunderstand what sets this place apart from any other toy store. Staff didn't greet anyone in a small store, just very odd vibes from a toy store i thought I would love going in
