Plants and home gifts? Yes and yes!…read more I'd previously been to Ground, a fabulous women-owned boutique, for an event and purchased a large fire sticks succulent plant that's still going strong two year later. I also purchased a beautiful brass watering can, which I still use and love (and it's a pretty decor piece when not in use). I've been back to Ground a couple times since when I'm in the area. On my most recent visit I enjoyed a meander through their beautiful plant nursery - so peaceful - and a peruse through their home/gift boutique. I wasn't looking for it but was delighted to find Dad Grass cbd dog treats for my pup, as we had just finished a bag. If you have anxious pups, I highly recommend these. I was also eyeing the denim dog poo bag holder. Seriously? So cute! If you're in need of plants or home goods, or you just find yourself in Belvedere-Tiburon, check out Ground! You'll likely find a gift for someone else, or for yourself!

One of my favorite things to do while traveling is to check out local garden nurseries. So when I…read morewas in the town of Tiburon and eyed this shop right on Tiburon Blvd/Route 131; I stopped on in. Glad I did. It's a small but mighty gift shop and garden nursery. They sell curated gifts, rugs, houseplants, outdoor plants, outdoor water features, and patio furniture. The shop and outdoor nursery space is beautifully designed. Items are locally focused and ethically sourced. They also have landscape design consultation services, host workshops and pop up events, and rent out their space.

So many lovely items to buy, and I have been several times in this store on Main Street,…read moreCheers, Ted McDonnell

A sweet boutique located on charming Main Street in Tiburon!…read more They sell women's clothing (think brands like Rails, Mother, Frank & Eileen) and accessories, as well as home decor items. I stopped in twice and wish I had more time to shop on each visit. They offer a wide selection of fun leather belts. I bought a belt, which ended up being too small (that's what I get for trying it in over a dress, instead of with jeans!). So I returned a few weeks later to exchange it. Like most boutiques, there's a short exchange window. Fortunately they let me make an exchange. Unfortunately the same belt was not available in the larger size so I had to make an exchange and pay the balance for a more expensive option. But I took home another belt that fits and that I love. I look forward to returning and exploring the store more when I'm next in Tiburon.

Heath Ceramics in Sausalito is a personal favorite of mine: a design focused retail destination…read morefeaturing Heath pottery, decorative homewares, and iconic ceramic tiles. Founded in 1948 by visionary ceramicist Edith Heath, the brand is an icon of California modern design. The items here are undeniably expensive, but the timeless design and constantly updating of color palettes make each piece feel special. In 2003, the company was revitalized by husband-and-wife product design and business team, who thoughtfully reinvented the brand. Heath is a great example of how with a good steward, classic design can be successfully revived and made modern. I find Heath to be a good spot for finding special design focused gifts.

I stopped by today, with my mom, to buy my sister some gifts for her wedding. I loved the new colors I saw - they had some yellow bowls and bulb vases that I was seriously tempted to buy, in addition to the other items. What I didn't love was the lack of customer service. I don't expect or want to be waited on hand and foot, but a simple acknowledgement would have been nice, rather than having multiple employees just watching us the entire time. I ended up purchasing from the seconds section and buying less than anticipated due to the overall vibe. I try to be understanding, and perhaps something was off for them today. Regardless, I was so uncomfortable in the store that I waited outside while our items were gift wrapped.

She works magic on these plants as they come out striking! We have one of her arrangements for the kitchen table and it gets complimented by almost every guest that walks through the door. This is the go-to place if you are looking for plants or even to learn more about them as Jodi is a brilliant artist filled with knowledge to share with you! Alongside the gorgeous plants, this shop also has an impressive collection of gifts, home decor, candles, greeting cards, etc. I could spend an entire hour browsing through all their neat products. Their inventory is continually updated - everything stays trendy and tasteful. It's like they do all searching for you and put the best finds conveniently all in one shop. My boyfriend and I are currently apartment searching as we are planning to move up here in Northern California. So you bet 100% I'm coming right back to Flourish for my home decor and plant-mom fulfillment! The shop is located next to Nugget Markets in the Cove Shopping Center.

Great material, has a great fit and is reasonably priced. There were only 3 sweatshirts with only one size small.

Her taste is impeccable and she listened to us to understand our tastes and preferences. She was always prompt and responsive. She stands behind her work and if there is the slightest problem, even if it is not her "fault", she fixes it immediately. She is fun to work with. I can't think of enough superlatives.

On the way in, our guide mentioned Karl as being a great spot for vintage finds. After eating lunch at Scoma's and shopping around the touristy spots, I made the trek back to Karl the Store. After walking in I instantly fell in love with this store and pretty much everything in it. I didn't have a ton of time before my ferry ride back to SF, but I knew I wanted to take something home. I saw that they had the Merz b Schwanen t-shirts (the one's Carmy wears in The Bear), and I've considered trying one, but then I saw this vintage volunteer firefighters jacket with chain stitching on the back. I live in SC and had already bought denim jacket earlier that day so I was in no need for another jacket, but knew I wasn't leaving without it. Before I left, I ended up chatting with the owner, Dennis. He shared some stories with me and we geeked out about vintage jackets for a minute which resulted in him insisting I try on the amazing one he was wearing. Next time I'm back in SF for work, I could see myself taking the ferry over solely to go to this store again, shop around, and chat up Dennis again.
