I particularly enjoy the baseball (specifically Padres) memorabilia. I really like the old beer signs and such. I'm not well versed in the world of antiques as far as what something's worth or value is. Therefore, I'm not sure if the prices are any better or worse compared to similar inventory at other stores. That said, an old Schaffer beer tin sign for $85 seemed a bit steep. It is fun to walk around and look at all the old stuff. You just might come across that perfect "thing".

I still enjoyed browsing, but items were a bit newer in age than what I gravitate toward. Either way I think people would have a good time here, to just browse for a couple hours. Parking was pretty easy, the lot seems to fill up quick. They also have artisan work there too which is nice. Good to see support of small business artists.

A long overdue review!! I still remember the first time I walked into TGCHI...There were so many…read moregreat pieces everywhere you turned in the store. I needed some help to find items for a photoshoot. Gail & Angel spent so long with me pulling items from even the depths of storage! I had a very particular set of items I wanted , and they understood my vision, took my measurements, and found exactly what I wanted. Many years later, I could still spend hours looking through the fabulous curation they have worked so hard to procure & maintain. This isn't a thrift store... It is an amazing collection with many fine, rare pieces; that Gail, Jasja & Angel spend a lot of time and effort to keep in amazing shape. They are some of the most welcoming, creative people you could meet -- and as passionate & knowledgeable about their craft as you could be. There's much I could say, they are special people with a special shop. I can't imagine why anyone would feel anything less than mesmerized in this place! Everyone working there is eager to help and educate, for anyone who is interested I'm happy to have bought many of my favorite pieces here!

The owner is super nice: it's his hobby to travel to different places and events and buy things he finds interesting. I personally got a Chinese solo tea cup that has a removable cup with holes for loose leaves.

I'm not sure why With Love's reviews transferred over to Lewis Fay Home, which is the shop that…read moretook over that space when With Love closed down. Lewis Fay Home is...strange. They sell way too many things without specializing in any one thing. For example, they have cards, perfume, lotions, I think I saw sunglasses there once, tchotkokes, and then the other side of the shop seems to be more about cooking stuff. I bought a cool set of glasses there when they first opened up, but every time I go in there, nobody helps me, and I feel like I'm intruding. So I've stopped going in. Anyway, my larger original review is NOT for Lewis Fay Home, it was for With Love, which was a completely different and very wonderful shop.

I came to San Diego for a small getaway and happened upon this beautiful store. I was instantly…read moredrawn to a collection by Ayala Bar, a jewelry designer from Israel. I had a tough choice between 2 beautiful pairs of earrings. From my understanding Ayala makes a collection only once and moves on to a new collection, making her collections very special. I love it! Everyone that helped me were so kind and beautiful. Forgive me for not remembering names but one lady was from Mexico & the other was from Ireland. The gentleman was native to San Diego. I had a chance to see some of their beautiful artwork but I think I could have spent more time looking at all their impressive inventory. I highly recommend a visit to this gem in the gaslight district!

The window was very inviting with many interesting items to see from the sidewalk. Inside was such an array of fine art & furniture. There is also a display of unique jewelry, reasonably priced so I could buy some earrings I fell in love with. There are sculptures, and artistic pictures on Bombay bureaus with fine ornate displays. Vases, sculptures, artwork of various, unique mediums with captivating colors and visages. I have my eye on a Skeleton doll and a bronze sculpture of a Native or horse motif... Was headed to dinner a few doors down so looking forward to returning. Interesting, beautiful and classy without ostentatiousness. I loved the ambience of the items inside. Private showings available. I felt safe in this time of Covid because masks are required. There's a special chair where you can take an Instagram picture, and the cutest assistant is Susan's adorable doggie Pebbles. (Pebbles loves treats and walks on her hind legs.) Beautiful chandeliers with leaded crystal teardrops, ornate French or English inlaid artwork on gorgeous dining-room tables and vases, or were they fancy urns? So much to see. Highly recommend a leisurely visit to see and then enjoy restaurants next door practically and across the street. Looking forward to our next visit. Enjoy!

Can't believe I haven't left a review yet! I happened upon…read morethis thrift in Old Town over a year ago. Yes it's tiny but they get some of the best donations to sell! Clothes = $4 yes, ALL adult clothes are $4 (some special items may be higher, like the $30 wedding dress...) Plants = yes, this thrift also sources AMAZING plants to sell and they pair it with follow up care / advice, so if you get it home and forget how to care for it, send a message and they'll happily help. Trinkets, treasures, small household items, shoes in REALLY great condition? Yep, they've got all that! Fun events? That too! Plant Bingo and propagation swaps to name a few. Hannah and Hanna are amazing.

The team is so delightful, uplifting and the place is a total vibe. The owners engaged with each person on some level or another and were super friendly (not the fake kind). They knew so much about plants, and as a plant girlie myself, I was diggin' it. They are all about community and care about what they put out to sell. Honest Thrift has options for everyone. Trinkets, clothes, shoes, plants, music, art etc. The pricing is affordable and fair, and their plant selection is beautiful and properly priced for a boutique style premium selection of plants of very well maintained and cared for. Heck, what you save on buying clothes for $4, splurge on your plant. If I didn't have nearly 100 plants in my own house and own my own plant business, I'd get mine from here. Do know, I'll buy cutesy things for my home and gifts for others.

It's perfect for gifting: they carry a wide range of cookbooks, jewelry, home and kitchen items, candles, perfumes, cards, and tons more. Whether it's a housewarming, birthday, or a "just because" moment, this is always one of my go‑to spots. I love that they wrap purchases in pretty tissue paper, making every gift feel intentional and ready to give. The store is full of little treasures, so take your time -- there's a lot to explore. Gold Leaf is also part of a small cluster of connected shops right in the heart of South Park, which makes it even more fun to wander around and browse. A charming, thoughtful, beautifully curated shop that never disappoints.

Cute, cute little shop!…read more My FAVORITE thing about this small shop is the worker doesn't harass you the whole time. (Thank the lord!) I love boutique stores but hate when they follow you around/pressure you to buy. A hello, asked if we need anything, and friendly service on the way out. Service 5/5. Simple yet effective. Select is adorable. Some expensive but they do have quite a few reasonably priced items. I originally went for a journal and really love the selection of everything they had. Fun artsy items. Also seemed to carry alot of smaller business (which I love!) If are looking for cute niche items -this is your place. I will be back! :)
