Truly the ultimate side quest here in Fresno. From Sonny Angels to cute imported stationary to…read morenostalgic candy. This place is a quiet browsing spot, you don't really have workers asking you often if you need help, which is great for my fellow introverted people. Parking is pretty crazy though, there's a tiny parking lot on the one way street before getting to the building but since there are other local businesses right next to the store the parking gets pretty full most of the time. Grab a coffee across the street and browse, you can easily blow through 2 hours just looking at everything they have to offer. Since a lot of the goods are imported I would personally say the average cost of something would be around $22, so if you are planning on splurging make sure to save a little bit (or else you'll get torn between choosing what to buy, like I have done before ) The environment is also very communal, having a trinket trading box outside of their storefront (not owned by Sour Milk but heavily appreciated) AND a Sonny Angel/ Smiski trading station, and also vending art created by local Fresno artists! On top of their every-day communal outlets they also are huge contributors for Tower Districts Art Hop and they host local vegan food trucks from time to time.

Stephanie teaches classes and will give you help and tips if you come in and ask questions. The selection is great but I do miss some of the curated small quantity customs beads. I know crystals sell, so I don't mind, but I used to get the MOST unique beads there! The store is clean, well organised and a great place to spend an afternoon. The value is comparable to other bead shops and it's so convenient if you just need a few beads to finish a project. I will say, the crystals are pricey, but they'd be close to the same price at pretty much any bead specific store and if you're just making a pair of earrings or a bracelet you can't go wrong shopping here!

Once inside though, it's like a little treasure trove of beautiful Mexican pottery. Tons of variety in colors, shapes, and sizes. Whether you're looking for something decorative or functional, they've probably got it. The lady working there was super sweet and took the time to show us some of the newer pieces and explain a bit about them, which was a nice touch. They also did a great job wrapping everything we bought--lots of care to make sure nothing breaks or chips on the way home. Definitely worth checking out if you're into pottery or just want to browse a fun, local shop with good vibes and great finds.

This is one adorable little boutique! But don't be scared because I used the word…read more"boutique"....They have items in various price ranges!! Everything I looked at was under $40. I have walked in here a couple different times and easily found unique gifts for between $10-$15. They have tons of jewelry and clothes as well-hence the name bauble & thread. They also sell a variety of accessories, and fun gifts. One part of their clothing selection is called "Salvaged", these are unique pieces that are either "pre-owned" or "gently used". We looked through them and they all looked in wonderful condition, and they are all very pretty. (If anyone knows what Poshmark is, that is how "Salvaged" got started and continues, in addition through the store. The owner of Salvaged is the daughter of the owner of bauble & thread. Yay Shopping Local!) I enjoy coming here to look around, and seeing what I can find, but also this is one of those places that I know I'm going to find a fun, unique gift at. It has become my "go to" place for that. *Bonus!* The bags they give you for your purchases are adorable with their stickers and extra ribbons, that you can easily use it as the gift wrap! I recommend you try this place out!

I would say they are right under the Urban Outfitters price point. ($25.99-$79.99) They have a nice selection of plus-size clothing as well; it's always a nice touch when a boutique is all-inclusive. I saw so many things I wanted but I have an overwhelming wardrobe and decided not to add to it. (Proud of my will power) ! Jewelry selection is out of this world! I did bite the bullet on some cute hoop earrings ($12.00 each)...The boutique also carries delicious scented candles, organic beauty products and purses/accessories. I am super picky with fashion, and nothing was tacky. Impressive! I do recommend this boutique for all you ladies who want to add feminine,trendy articles of clothing and accessories to your wardrobe. Especially if you love the Anthropologie-type fashion.

Small, locally owned, outstanding service, beautiful merchandise that cannot be found elsewhere (except they do have another store out near River Park). I was on the hunt for a new bag i can use for my storytelling gig with first graders. Lots of pockets. Flexible spaces. Large enough for book and puppets. Room for a water bottle and even scissors. Oh, and it must be attractive since I wear a uniform and need to add a bit of color with the bag and my shoes. The clerk was very congenial and showed me a variety of bags and even when I thought I had found just the right one, went on to find the real right one. A Vera Bradley that met all my requirements. This is the kind of customer service that makes me happy. The store, though small, is quite compact and all the items are beautifully displayed. Luggage, bags of all sizes, travel accoutrements, greeting cards, various stationery supplies. Sort of a jewel box for the senses.

I want to…read moreaddress my comments to everyone, but especially guys who don't really like shopping for gifts, maybe aren't really good at it, but who find themselves having to find a special gift for a woman or girl. This place will take care of you!! My story: I needed to get a birthday gift for a grandmother, and realized I was clueless. Yelp led me to Top Drawer late on a Saturday afternoon. Walked up, and the store had just closed. Owner Jane was about to drive away, but saw me and asked if she could help. She opened the store back up for me and asked what I was looking for (Wow, 3 stars for that alone!!!). I told her I really had no idea, just a gift for an 80 year old lady. Jane had some great ideas, and I was done in 10 minutes, now a happy boy! So, yeah, you could wander aimlessly around Target or Wal-Mart, and buy something that everyone already has or has seen but would end up being classed as "well, after all, it's the thought that counts" - in other words: fail. Instead, my advice would be to put yourself in Jane's hands, trust her advice, and walk out with a wrapped gift your recipient will really appreciate as unique and charming. Dudes, I suck at shopping but I feel like I performed at shopping genius level today thanks to Jane's help. Fast, high quality and good value. Easy 5 stars!
