They have so many gorgeous items it's hard to determine what to get now and what to get later They had a great assortment of garlands and we FINALLY caught the sale for them! I miss it every year so we stocked up on some white & red ones for our peppermint vibes this year. They had tons of bushels of poinsettias and other beautiful (fake) arrangements that are priced just right. Their Halloween items are marked 60% off from Nov 1st to when they sell out. A lot of what they had left was a steal at 60% off! If you shop for your kids classes, they have a lot of small goodies that are priced well for prizes or gift bags.

That's why I bought a bracelet from her…read more There are open markets throughout the year in the bay area for these talented artists to sell their products. The bracelet I bought was quite unique in my eyes, silver intertwined with copper, which also supposedly is good for preventing arthritis. Other Jewelries were Interesting and unique, different than the jewelries I've seen in other places. Would like to come back and check out more stuff. I am very happy to have found my bracelet piece and it has become my favorite. Will continue to support local artisans. Highly recommend Makers Market.

This particular weekend I wanted to get something for my niece who is graduating high school as well as turning 18!! I found a really cute, simple necklace that was pretty yet unique along with some really nice earrings! Not exactly a matching set, but I bought them to not match. My niece loved them!! Easy $60 present and it was unique the lady behind the counter, even wrapped it in a cute little mesh bag. I had tissue paper at home so I added that to the little rustic brown bag to have a pop-up color and overall I will definitely be back!!

My kid had been asking for a magnifying glass and I needed some stickers so on a Saturday afternoon we found these things and more. The store is organized and very clean. Although it is mostly elementary school supplies, you will find a lot of educational toys, books and supplies at affordable price points and quality. If you are like me and refuse to shop at Amazon and big box stores, this place is great for gifts, crafts, and toys. The staff are really friendly and now they allow anyone to sign up for a free membership that gives you 15% off your purchase or items. It's walking distance to the hospital and San Jose City College with lots of parking in the back.

I was walking through the mall and spotted a really cool store called Rolife. They sell miniature…read moreDIY puzzles and miniatures house kits and items for a dollhouse. They even had a beautiful Eiffel Tower that lights up and a functional pinball machine that lights up and makes sounds. I got to play with one while in the store, and it was so fun. These items are for all ages. They would make a great gift for a child or an adult. The store employee, Natalie, was kind and welcoming. She answered a lot of my questions and encouraged me to play with the pinball machine. She explained that these miniature scenes are like model kits that are ideal for people seeking a mindful activity to reduce stress and enjoy some quiet time. Perfect for solo crafting or a fun DIY project. Each scene is so detailed and intricate. And there are so many different ones to pick from. It was mesmerizing. I really enjoyed this unique store and also purchased a DIY project for myself for $19.99. I look forward to starting my puzzle.

I wanted to love this spot, but I was shocked by the unsanitary setup near the entrance. They have…read morea communal 'drink cart' right out in the open where customers are expected to leave open beverage containers. Anyone walking by has total access to them, which is a major food safety and tampering hazard. When I walked in with my water (which I medically need on hand for my medication) an employee aggressively bee-lined right toward me to demand I put it on the sketchy cart. When I explained I had a health requirement, she backed off, but the whole encounter was unpleasant. Management really needs to rethink leaving open customer drinks unattended in a public area, and staff should be trained on how to handle guests with medical needs respectfully instead of immediately cornering them. I wanted to purchase some earrings today, but because of the uncomfortable experience, I wanted to get out of there in a hurry. They lost a sale today.

I needed some books for two baby shower presents and I was surprised I was able to find these…read morehardcover baby books! Their Children's section was MASSIVE AND incredibly welcoming! I remember bringing my son to their story time, as a little boy- now he's 20, so he's out grown it, but I'm glad post pandemic, this event is still happening! I loved finding all the various authors and craft books and "how to" sets! They even had some science sets! The only drawback, I'd say was how the outside trash can was overflowing and there were flies all over. So I didn't walk by it. I'm sure that's going to attract the wrong type of attention, so that's the only reason why I'm giving them a 4 instead of 5 stars. However, everything within the book store was clean and organized. So I appreciated that. I'll be back, I'll just park away from the public trash can hee.
