Every year we like to pick out at least one hallmark ornament that symbolizes our year. Our family loves Peanuts, so we tend to buy a new Snoopy ornament every year. We have so much fun looking at all of the ornaments and knickknacks in the store! The service is always great, the employees are very friendly. All of the items are high-quality with a price that reflects that.

I find myself here sometimes when I'm in the area and want to check out their snacks and ice cream selections. Interesting how different stores have different stocks sometimes even though all the grocery outlet stores usually carry about the same items and brands at the same time. This visit I saw they have a lot of Asian foods specifically Indian meal kits. And they had a lot of meat in their cold cases too, nice. All in all, this store is huge and offers a lot more variety compared to others, they even have a second story but it's for staff only, looks like some kind of employee breakroom.

You don't need to hit Macy's, Nordstrom, or even the Gucci store in Las Vegas -- Ross has amazing deals that let you look expensive and smell expensive. The store is full of hidden treasures, from high-end fashion finds to everyday favorites, and I even love picking up my coffee syrups there. It's a fun place to explore, score great deals, and leave feeling like you've discovered something special. Only a 3 star rating though, Because service is a bit slow, and it could be a little bit cleaner and more organized.

Kids actually wanted to check out the new Miniso but what do you know it wasn't open so we opted to check this place out since we've not been here either. They sure know how to cater and target kids as consumers here, haha, I was like this place must make most parents broke. They do have a lot of basic necessities so I guess it's not that bad and the prices were reasonable. I saw plenty of items under $5 like their store name says I thought that's what it means? School supplies, snacks, sweets, chips, crackers, cookies, tons of toys, kids and teens T-shirts and socks. Plenty of beauty products that look pretty low quality but fun for little kids to play with I guess. Backpacks were big when I came here bc it was before back to school. Son and I checked out the bins of bballs they had for $5 each and they weren't too shabby for a play ball but for serious balling. They did have Spaulding so maybe that's a good sign, the rest of the balls were the novelty type with team logos. All of them were decent for $5 each though. The candy section was tempting, good thing we were all so full from lunch. That Candy Rush sign was so big and inviting. I dared not walk down there. They had plenty of chips that will give me a heart burn, but kids and teens I imagine would love them. All in all, a pretty solid dollar store I'd come back and browse another day to see what kinds of of new trends are in with kids and good for clueless parents like me to pick up some gifts for the kids, haha.

Adj: Fun to shop at for Budget Finds…read more We were trying to check out the Miniso a couple of months ago now, as it looked like it was open, but it was not yet ready for its grand opening, so we ended up coming to browse this Five Below. This one is right next to what used to be the Walmart Neighborhood Market by Yum's buffet in Southgate Plaza. Just like any other dollar store, Five Below has a lot of different knickknacks and fun things, but also plenty of practical items like clothes, snacks, socks, sports items, stationery, school supplies, etc. Unlike other dollar stores, for those who're not familiar, prices are all over the place and I don't think everything is below $5 either. But most things are probably under that. We walked around and saw some thing that are of good value like basic rubber basketballs for $5 that are regulation size (so standard) and those would be more if you bought the same at a Target or Walmart, so it's a good deal here. But other things like clothing and snacks/sweets are probably not good deals here. They do have a LARGE selection of novelty prints t-shirts, designs galore for sure! Lots of practical items directed at college students as they have a whole dorm room section of items too. And a big make-up section that may/may not make your skin break out, lol. Overall, a pretty cool store, we enjoyed checking it out, and my kids liked exploring it and seeing all the items that are fun but frivolous. May come back when we need something we can't find elsewhere, but otherwise, this place is more for an occasional fun treats shopping trip.

Adj: New Novelty Store with a lot of cute stuff!…read more Ahh, my kids wanted to check this store out. It's definitely a fun place for kids. We had tried to come by in July sometime as it looked like it was newly opened, but when we got there it wasn't ready so we ended up shopping at Five Below next store. This time, we were able to finally shop at this brand new Miniso. Southgate Plaza isn't a shopping center we frequent a lot, but we come by to eat at Yum Buffet every so often, and after a big meal, we like to walk around at one or more store in the plaza to walk off some of our overindulgence, oops (gluttony is one of the 7 deadly sins after all, lol). In any case, we're glad to see that most of the vacant stores, some of which had been vacant for a few years since the pandemic years, have now been filled with new tenants, and Miniso is definitely a welcomed store, I'm sure for Southgate Plaza. So I had assumed that Miniso is a Japanese company b/c of its name, but apparently Miniso is a "global lifestyle and variety store chain founded in Guangzhou, China, in 2013 by Chinese entrepreneur Ye Guofu," according to Google, haha. At first, Miniso started with "a heavily Japanese-inspired brand identity, utilizing minimalist design cues, Japanese script on packaging, and associating with Japanese design concepts to position itself alongside brands like Muji and Daiso." Ha, so I was right that it's trying to be like a Japanese novelty store. BUT, as Miniso grew rapidly outside of China, it "shifted part of its strategy toward licensed intellectual property (IP) products, partnering with major global names like Disney, Marvel, and Sanrio to offer popular blind boxes, plushies, and themed merchandise." So that's why this store if FILLED with licensed novelty items with characters you will definitely recognize from anime, and brands like Sanrio, Disney, and more! My kids particularly like the Hello Kitty, Miffy, and Pooh characters, but there are lots of less cutesy characters too, such as superhero characters from Marvel. From T-shirts and hoodies, to fanny packs and cross body bags, to sling bags and backpacks, there were so many different styles and colors to choose from if you were looking for a purse/bag. Another section of the store had beauty, bath and body, and cosmetics, as well as haircare stuff, and the back of the store had a lot of cute food like drink cups, mugs, water bottles, tumblers, lunch boxes and even bento boxes. Everything's super cute w/characters printed on, but most items were on the pricey side. However, they do periodically put certain categories/sections of items and/or brands/characters on sale, so be sure to check out the store regularly. We had fun checking out this huge store, it's definitely the biggest Miniso stores we've been to around Sac. And as a standalone store, I think it's way bigger than even the one on the 2nd floor at the Westfield Galleria at Roseville. We plan to be back, especially for finding a gift for our kids' friends, this would be an easy place to find the perfect item.

So the wife and kids were talking about this place and I don't know about it. It sounds like a…read moreDaiso but it turns out to be quite different. This is more like a novelty items store. As I walked in, I realized this is definitely a kid's paradise and maybe a parent's wallet or pocketbook (do people still use those?) emptying type of shopping place. Prices were quite sticker shock level for some things here. My kids were so excited as they looked at all the Disney and other cartoon and movies branded character stuffed toys, character figurines, key chains, cups, mugs, toys, logo T-shirts, etc. You name it and they prob have it here with an animated character printed on it. I didn't see many things I'd be really interested in honestly as I'm pretty sure I'm not this store's target customer. But I saw some cool t-shirts that I would venture to wear, and there were some not obviously girly or teeny bopper items that were actually kind of cool like Star Wars figurines and shirts and whatnot. All in all, a fun place for kids, teens, and the big kids at heart to shop and find fun things for themselves or as gifts. I know this would be the place to be for me to get birthday gifts for my kids. Till next time!

I saw some pink ones that I really liked. An additional draw was everything was 50% off. I figured while I was there I could also find a new pair of jeans. When we arrived the displays were bright and cheery. I really like there sweater collection. They have several that I like, but i bought new sweaters last year so I'm not in the mode to buy a new sweater. Upfront we saw lots of nice christmas PJs. They also had plaid. All were flannel which was good as I wanted some warm winter pajamas. In the back they have just pajama bottoms. 99% of the ones they had on there website are not in there store. I was very disappointed. Online they have a larger variety. I saw a couple of pink ones that I liked. They even had some light blue ones with polar bears on them. The Chanukah ones even looked great. The sales lady was polite and offered to order them online for me so I could save on shipping. I thought of that, but I don't know what size I am and didn't want to hassle with having to return or exchange them. Plus their location isn't near my house, so returning it would require a drive all the way down the Delta Shores, deal with parking ect. Not worth it at this time of my life. They did have a nice collection of cute fuzzy socks. Next we looked at jeans. They have several styles, but not the color I wanted or the length From what I could see they don't offer short, or ankle length. Thus unfortunately I didn't get any jeans either. I guess we're off to Macy's to see if they have their pajamas in stock or if it's only on line there too. It may be the going trend, shop online. If that's the case I might as well shop on amazon, there it's 2 day shipping and free returns to the UPS store that's only down the street for me.
