I am assuming they are owned by the same people because of their biz names, but that may not be the case. Both biz names just happen to have Esko in them. This shop is smaller compared to the other one. Much tighter space inside. Lesser selections than the other shop, but still has a good variety of stuff, knick knacks, and souvenirs. Funny, I just noticed it has the words "bazaar gifts" in its biz name... I must have missed them. Oh well, next time. I probably spent no more than 5 mins in here because there were so many people. I didn't buy anything so no interaction with the staff. Yeah, it's just another souvenir shop for your perusing and shopping needs in Solvang. It's worth a peek!

Just know that this place is often very full of inventory and crowds so it can get tough to walk around & shop. It won't be a casual shopping experience. Especially on weekends and summers. I came here mainly because I heard it was a great place to get old Lego minifigure bags. However, I was not expecting some of the older ones to go for up to $30 a bag! That's highway robbery. You can find opened ones online for a fraction of that price and when you do that, there's no need to guess if you are getting the one you want (or be surprised at all by what you're paying for). If you're looking for bags to keep sealed, this is a great option for you, but for someone like me who was just looking to get one or two to complete a series, this just wasn't priced right enough for me to pull the trigger. I did, however, purchase a single mini figure that's exclusive to a Danish store chain. Was it overpriced? Yeah. But not too high that I didn't feel like treating myself. Staff is very friendly and I saw them happily helping customers all throughout the shop. Customer service is great here. So rest assured if you have questions about inventory or if you want to try on something, there will be someone here to help you out quickly.

Upon entering the shop, your senses are hit with a blast of lavender. At first it's a bit strong but after a few minutes, it becomes more neutral and relaxing.

The staff is so sweet and accommodating- they take the time to help answer questions and share recommendations. My wife and I had a wonderful time and we ended leaving with some scented oil for the car and a lovely reusable tote.

From the outside it looks magical but when you step in it's a different vibe. When I entered there were a couple or workers, perhaps the proprietors behind the counter. They didn't bother to look up or acknowledge my presence with a greeting. I felt invisible. There were a variety of unique toys and a nice assortment of children's clothing and accessories. They were pricey. However, I did find some cute items to purchase for our 7 year old grandson. Then I thought better of it and put them back. They don't really want my business.

Parking can be less than ideal in Solvang, but if you're lucky enough to catch street parking as you enter the city, jump on that, too. REVIEW: I was only recently a first-timer to La Gioconda! It is a very cute shop that has many items to catch your eye. In my opinion, this is more a gift shop than a souvenir store; meaning the items are a level above what you might find in other shops deeper into Solvang. I like this store as it's more of an open floor plan, not as cramped as I've seen in others. It's got great lighting from the windows that face the road. In reading the other reviews, I see that the owner is a cat-lover like me! We sh/could have talked for hours. :) I didn't leave with any gifts on this visit, but I will be finding some on my next visit. This shop has thoughtful gifts; I really like that. I absolutely do recommend La Gioconda and can't wait for my next trip to Solvang, which will include another visit here and an updated review. Thanks!

This is nothing compared to the real harsh truth of reality. This honest review is for the sole purpose of bettering the company and hope that this doesn't happen to anyone else. Clearly the person bothered is probably the lazy worker who saw the review or the shop owner*** The person working behind the register did not welcome us coming in the store. My partner and I entered twice and I noticed not once did she say anything to us. I saw her look up, look at us and look back down. She was sitting down the whole time looking at her laptop. Did not get up once. Lazy. Meanwhile, when an older couple walked in she immediately said hello and welcomed them. I don't care for discrimination but choosing and picking who you want to welcome in your store is a red flag. She may have judged us by the way we looked or dressed because we felt unwelcome so we left. My suggestion is to not pick and choose who they want to speak to because it was a lost sale, lost customer retention, lost business. For that reason we left and purchased nothing. Employee was unfriendly and did not smile. In the future I suggest saying hello, being more attentive instead of sitting down doing nothing.

They have various items, such as crystals, incense, candles, tarot cards, essential oils, jewelry, and other mystical and spiritual tools. Although, I found that some items in the shop were in need of restocking. My daughter got me the Shungite bracelet. After purchasing the bracelet, the lady at the counter performed a short cleansing ritual on the item before handing it to you. The sales associate was helpful in answering our inquiries. Tried the psychic reading for curiosity: $30 for 20 minutes + tip. I would have tried the aura photography service if I had known they offered it as well. Overall, this visit to the shop adds a sense of magic, enchantment, spirituality, and some wonder to our day.
