WOW! My new favorite shop! Dried to come during Covid and they'd closed and I only stumbled upon it…read moreaccidentally this time while on my way to the Apricot Stand that's across the street. GIFTS: I was so shocked at all the gift options in this place! And I almost didn't go in because it's located INSIDE the community senior center. But I found the things they sell remind me of what you'd find at Cranberry Hill, nice quality, only this shop is smaller and the prices are lower. Gifts for ME too...lol. Given the pricing and cute stuff, I might have (definitely did) buy a few things for myself too. EASY TO FIND: Anyway, it was easy to find, they had a sign. You just turn right as soon as when you walk in the double doors and they're right there. The center is that huge lot by the duck park, and the senior center is at the far back of the lot. PRICES: They really have a wide range of pricing because of their selection so I feel I can easily find something price appropriate for the person I'm buying for. They had a ton of small things under $5 (even $2 and $3 dollar things) like little mats for under your coffee mugs, but higher end like the amazing colorful hand knit scarf I bought...for myself. It was hand knit with that extra thin yarn...a million stitches and only $45?! Bring on fall! CARDS?! What? YES and so cheap (good riddance Hallmark). Tons of cards like those high end Papyrus ones at the store that are more like a part of the gift, only these started at only $3.50 a card. Crazy. HAND-CRAFTED: Sometimes I think "church bizarre" when I hear that, but they said everything in there was hand made and it looked so professional to me. SELECTION: They fit a lot of stuff in that little shop. Candles, paper art, purses/bags, jewelry and lots of beaded things, knit things, towels, even children's stuff, and a ton of hand sewn gifts like placement settings, and cup holders, etc. Even some of the jewelry (Pom-Pom key chains and seed bead stuff) were teen friendly, along with some of the fairytale paper art boxes. TWO CRAFT FAIRS: They were advertising a craft fair and said they do two a year, in May and November and that it's supposed to be huge with tons more stuff, so I'll be heading back for that. MEN: Honestly, this seems is a great place to men to find gifts for the various ladies in their lives.

It's probably the best bet to get a gift that is cute and unique but you want it to lean more towards being western and not too kawaii and anime. Think of gifting a punny keychain or cute Jellycat versus a Chiikawa plushie or anime acrylic if that makes sense. Meaning that it's probably easier and maybe more acceptable to get a slightly more normie a gift here than it is elsewhere. As you can see, I'm learning what it's like to touch grass and re-integrate into human society. There's a good number of plushies, Jellycat and unique ones like a pink fairy armadillo mole one, tote bags and socks, nice range of jewelry, lots of California themed goods if you're looking for souvenirs that aren't mega generic, and they have a lot of other items as well. As with the quality and high regard some of these items have (Jellycats are NOT cheap), it can be a bit pricier, so make sure that you shop around and check prices elsewhere and that you actually truly care about the person you're getting stuff for and it's not a forced obligation one (family member you're ugh with or coworker Secret Santa that you barely know). Maybe a couple cute things I had my eye on, but it wasn't really for me (speaks volumes about me), but I can see how a store like this works in a pinch if you're gift shopping.

I stopped by, the location in Sunnyvale, to see if they had any Christmas gift wrap on sale. My supply is running low and it would be nice to get some for next year at a good price. They had quite a bit of Christmas decor and some Christmas wrapping paper 40% off. I selected 5 different rolls of gift wrap and headed to the checkout. This should last me a few years. The associate at the counter was very friendly. We had a nice chat while she wrung up my items. This location has excellent customer service. They also have a post office inside which is very convenient. I'm glad I stopped by today.

What? It's an even exchange! I begged and finally they made an exception! I asked the hallmark store in oakridge and their policy is returns for Xmas stuff up until January! This store is a rip off and they make their own rules to fit them not the customer! They are not in business for the customer they're in business for themselves! I live in Sunnyvale but I'd rather drive to San Jose to a different hallmark store where they are actually hallmark friendly and cater to the customer

For a guy that takes an inordinate amount of photos, I am surprisingly unobservant. This place is…read morejust three doors down from the Posh Bagel on Main St. How is it I just noticed this fantastic store? I mean, stores that sell candy and chocolate are my jam. But it was invisible to me. Until today, anyway. I am so happy I finally found it. Because Gourmet Works is much more than a store that sells candy and chocolate. In fact, as the name would suggest, it's more of a Gourmet food store and Gift Shop than a Chocolate Shop. But it's also a hella cool chocolate shop and that's the main reason I will be sure to return. Right when you walk in the door you are surrounded by an astonishingly large variety of items that would make the perfect gift for a loved one, or for yourself. Because, I ain't gonna lie, there were at least a dozen items that I considered buying for myself. I thought to myself, you know, I do so much for me, and it seems I rarely properly thank myself for my devoted patronage and self care. If you are interested in high quality gourmet gifts, Gourmet Works is definitely the place to go! They carry so many products you would be hard pressed to find elsewhere. Gourmet Salts, Dried Herbs, Pasta Sauces, Dried Pasta, Curry Sauces, Masala Simmer Sauce, Special Preserves and Jams. An impressive, well-curated selection. Then, at the back of the store you find the kind of Chocolate display case that dreams are made of. Oh my Lord! Just the Truffle side alone would be enough to melt anyone's heart. But the other side, with the astonishing variety of hand dipped chocolates is where I lost it. I saw the Almond Bark and stopped dead in my tracks. I stared at that Almond Bark. The Almond Bark stared back at me. We were locked into that stare down for what seemed like an eternity. I was sure neither of us would ever give in. But then I blinked. Somehow I became aware that the wonderful woman behind the counter was asking me if she could help me. As I regained my senses, suddenly I felt so embarrassed. How long had I been staring at that Almond Bark? How many times had she tried to get my attention? I had no idea. I tried to play it off like there was nothing going on between me and that Almond Bark. I casually inquired about some Chocolate Covered Caramels with Sea Salt on a totally different shelf in the display case. Then, of course, I had to buy a couple of those Chocolate Covered Carmels with Sea Salt, to cover up the whole situation with me and the Almond Bark. I purchased a couple ordinary, un-chocolate covered Caramels with Sea Salt too. The woman behind the counter couldn't have been more gracious. She didn't let on that she knew exactly what was happening and I wasn't fooling anyone with the whole Chocolate Covered Caramels with Sea Salt charade. So, my thanks to Gourmet Works, and the gracious woman behind the counter, Padmaja (her family owns Gourmet Works). It was such a pleasure to shop at your wonderful store!

I've had some so-so experiences with Edible Arrangements company as a whole. To celebrate my gf's…read morebirthday, this seemed like the best gifting surprise since she isn't a big fan of sugary sweets and carbs. I decided to go online, place an order for delivery, & pray for the best. This particular Sunnyvale location was assigned for my purchase - I assume it is one of the closest locations to the delivery address. The ordering process was straight forward and I went ahead with the Birthday Berry Fruit Arrangement. To my surprise, there was no delivery fee for my purchase. Since I was already paying a decent amount, that little "discount" was appreciated. Fast forward, that "no charge" ended up being an additional fee. Lmao!!! Not sure why it was listed as free delivery during the time of ordering and then a charge was tacked on AFTER but whatever. I just needed my purchase to be presentable and delivered in a timely manner. Since I had the time, I quickly did a Yelp search on this EA location. The reviews are pretty terrible to say the least and I began to stress a bit. The email confirmation sent gives you an area to "track your order" which would be great IF it was accurate and actually worked. The hours for the store's business hour stated 9am and by noon, my order was still only listed as "RECEIVED BY STORE". I gave it some more time and by 1pm, the status never changed and I immediately gave them a call. The gentleman who picked up had a very thick Filipino?? accent. He was courteous but it just took a bit of time to get the info I was requesting for. I ended the call with him confirming that the order was received and that the order was in fact "made". They were awaiting for the delivery. Fast forward: Hours passed and yet there was still no delivery. I checked the status of the order again to see that it had changed to "out for delivery" yet nothing seemed to be happening. I'm kind of frustrated at this point and was mentally preparing myself of wasted money when I get a text from my girl regarding the surprise she received!! Whoo Hoo!! The delivery made it to her home safely and according to her, the staff did a good job. I am over the moon and would recommend this particular Edible Arrangements. Don't let the reviews overly stress you out. While I can't speak for previous customers, I am pretty satisfied. 4/5 stars because of the tracking system doesn't work. It is currently 8:48pm and the tracking still states "out for delivery". Lmao!!! It also deducted some points in my eyes regarding the delivery fee. If the business was upfront about the cost, I wouldn't have batted an eye but to list that the delivery was complimentary and then revoke that... meh. At the end of the day, I can say I had a good experience with this Sunnyvale location. I'd easily place another order through them and this time I'll expect additional charges.

They don't call and inform you despite taking your number down when they have held an item for you. To them whoever pays money first they honor that which agreed is classic business principle. But then 10 years of being a repeat customer there is no such thing as customer satisfaction towards loyal customers - all of this is out through the door. To the owner if you can't honor something don't promise. Never returning to this store for any future purchase. You lost a loyal customer today which to you of course is not a deal breaker. You have plenty more to throw money at you that you wouldn't care about one customer lost. Lastly teach your front desk customer handling.
