The first time they told me children weren't allowed and then, most recently, they told my mother-in-law that they were going on lunch at 3 PM, and the kids had to leave, but then they never closed the store. This unwelcoming attitude doesn't build a strong buy local community. This is discrimination and it should not be tolerated in our downtown Salinas community. It is really disheartening that this kind of behavior is occurring.

I especially appreciate some of their unique gifts made just for that relative you hate, or for that mother in law who drives you crazy. Plus plenty of nice gifts for the nice relatives.

As surprising as it might seem to an outsider, Salinas has an adorable old town. Plagued as this…read moremodern farm town is with gang issues, they do have a few cute blocks of an old town. I took a break from driving down the 101 because of terrible traffic and found my way to old town. I went into Rooms In Bloom because I needed a nice Birthday gift for my Mother and this store seemed to have a very nice selection. This is right up her alley. I like a lot of the things too, but my style is a little more modern...and maybe funky? I got her a cute re-usable Lunch bag, and a tube of fancy scented hand cream, but I could have easily gotten a few more things like beautiful candles, a really nice tray, 3-wick candles, pajamas that were adorable, dishtowels, and more. If you're wondering, yes, my Mom is the sort of lady who loves to decorate her home, cook, and garden. It was hard to choose something on a budget, but the lady working was cute and nice and just let me browse without bothering me, but agreeing with me when I oohed- and-aahed over all the stuff. I also bought myself a couple of hair clips. I like stores that sort of divide their goods into themes or 'genres' and they do this here. I didn't have much time to browse the kids section, but they had a cute area of the store for children and babies. Perfect for shower shopping. Okay I think I said cute about 3 times in this review- do you get the point!? Also, it smells good!

TLDR; AMAZING CANDLES & BEAUTIFUL SHOP…read more So I've known of Sugar & T since they collaborated with Salinas Valley Pride Celebrations for the 2018 Pride Candle! I went to Downtown Gift Shop to grab the candle and I was hooked! The candle was so sweet and delicious! I looked for the candle and found the candle maker on Facebook. I ordered these two beauties and she delivered them straight to our door and the comments about their amazing scent never stopped. Aside from the phenomenal candles and customer service what REALLY sold me was her shop. I had a friend visiting from out of town and we finally got to go to her shop and it was a gem! If you've seen Schitt's Creek imagine Rose Apothecary but in real life! My friend got the 2021 Pride Candle amongst other scents. This will forever be a stop when I visit family in the Monterey Bay. If you ever find yourself exiting the 101 to go to Monterey do yourself a favor and visit this gorgeous shop. The candles won't disappoint and neither will the aesthetic.
