The store is very well stocked with complete skateboard sets which are perfect for a beginner board. Some of the brands we saw were Santa Cruz, Birdhouse, Creature. The shop was empty at the time so they allowed us to try the skateboards out in shop, which was nice. In addition they have a good variety of decks and they sell the trucks and parts separately so you can customize your board too if desired. I also love browsing through their clothing. They have a nice selection of skater brands for Men, women and children. Sometimes you can get a good deal on the sale rack.

Sweatshirts run $60-$64, hats are around $30, and some necklaces are $40+. I wish I could support and buy something, but I just can't justify those prices. I still like stopping by to see what's new, even if I rarely end up buying anything.

I mean seriously, did someone read my journal of Favorite Things and create this store just for me?!! L-O-V-E! There is no walking around downtown Santa Cruz without stopping by Botanic and Luxe. I have purchased gifts here as well as framed art (with a locally-made wooden frame) that hangs in my home, and recently attended their anniversary event where they had local vendors serve matcha and desserts, and they provided 20% off the entire store, so naturally I went home with another plant baby. Even though the store was PACKED with customers, they asked me if I needed help twice and also spent time giving me plant care instructions! Botanic is a higher-end plant shop, so expect to see some matching "luxury" prices as well. But people don't usually come here to get the best deal; they come to feel a certain way while they peruse a beautiful shop that sources many items locally, to get a certain level of service, and to be ensured a certain quality of product.

I absolutely love this cute little spot in Santa Cruz. I have a little tradition that every time I…read morecome here I buy a new plant. The day I bought the cutest little mini monstera.
