Immaculate vibes. The best gift shop in Sacramento. Most if not all of the items are local makers…read moreor made in California. You can find just about anything you are looking for here - they have things for kids & young adults, college students, new parents and everything in between and onward. They have stationary, candles, artwork, skincare, books, stickers, candies, kitchen ware, earrings & jewelry... the list goes on! My favorite place to buy a gift not just for others but myself as well. Also they have tons of events! Queer craft club, ceramic workshops, candle making, sip & shop nights, and so much more. It's a wonder how the owner can do it all and make it look so easy. Spenser is a gem of a human being and was extremely helpful when I need help finding the right gift or even just to have a good chat . Sacramento and the surrounding region benefits from having spaces like this not only for retail goodness - but also for the amount of work put in to build community and support the artists/vendors that are in the area. So glad they are located on R street!

He does a great job of representing what's great about Sacramento, the freakin people!

This place was a lot more fun than I expected! Was looking for a cool activity for the kiddos to do…read moreand I booked a session just the night before. We opted for the glow session which was very cool. They turn off all the regular lights and put up the UV light and give you glow paint. Each session is about 45 mins and your party gets to be in this big room. You can a poncho and show covers. They provide a little art canvas to paint on but you can also add a tee shirt to paint on for about $8. They ask you what music you want to listen to and will play that for you as you paint. There are paint brushes provided as well. There are free lockers to place your belongings outside the hallway. This is located right above the candy store. After, they put your painting/tee shirt in a dry pizza box for you to take home.

They even asked what music we wanted to hear, which let us rock out while we painted and had a blast. ​Everyone in our group, from the kids to the adults, had an incredible time.

We are already planning our next trip back and can't wait to bring our nephews along! Highly, highly recommend.

You can find a list of classes on their website and it's a perfect way to start learning with a chance to ask all the questions that come up.

Adj: Treasure Trove of Yummylicious Yarn and More!…read more Another incredibly special and quite exclusive store in Sacramento that I somehow have only visited once or twice long ago, and which I've not really appreciate until now. I'm so glad that I have finally paid a meaningful visit to Rumpelstiltskin Yarn Store recently. Rumpelstiltskin, located on the R St corridor, is quite a long-standing establishment in Sacramento that has been providing the Sacramento fiber art community with supplies and knowledge for over 50 years! Rumpelstiltskin sells a wide selection of high-quality yarns, fiber art tools, and other supplies for crocheting, knitting, spinning, and weaving, so there's definitely a great variety of products offered here for various interests. Perhaps because the skill level of my two fiber art hobbies, crocheting and knitting, are quite elementary and have not improved much over the years, I've so far had all my yarn needs met at the more conventional arts and crafts stores of the big box variety. But as I am getting more serious about my yarn hobbies, I'm now interested in finding stores that offer more specialized products and even provide classes that will help me improve in my crafts skills. I am also looking to connect more with the fiber art community in Sacramento because my venture into joining that community so far has shown me how warm and welcoming fiber artists are and it is totally possible to learn from seasoned hobbyists and pros/teachers if one puts their mind to it. I've even connected with some very local yarn enthusiasts at my local library and I'm sure they all have visited Rumpelstiltskin. On this visit, I saw lots of exclusive brands and types of yarn made of much better material than I'm used to using. From basic wool to more specialized Merino, Alpaca, and Shetland, there were many different kinds available. One I particular liked was the cashmere wool which felt heavenly. I learned that Rumpelstiltskin makes it a point to partner with fiber farms and other small boutique fiber suppliers to source yarn and other fiber products that are not only exclusive, but that are truly local and US-made as much as possible. Rumpelstiltskin even shares the stories behind each brand they carry and even hosts "Farm to Needle" events to introduce some of their thoughtfully curated products that are specially selected for their quality and uniqueness. As such I noticed that the prices of their products are definitely several times higher than that of regular arts and crafts stores, but again Rumpelstiltskin sells really high-quality yarns and supplies. I did not have any questions for staff during my visit, but I saw a class taking place and noticed that besides the looks of concentration, it was smiles all around as everyone was really enjoying their class, so I'm also going to look into taking a class or joining in one of Rumpelstiltskin's events. Just from a quick glance at their website, I see offerings of beginner's knitting classes for adults and kids, an embroidery intro class, a felted slippers class which sounds super interesting and practical, a sweater class for those who are ready for bigger projects, and even basket coiling, spindle spinning, spinning wheel, and weaving classes. Besides the classes that have costs associated and private lessons for those who want 1:1 instruction, there are also monthly and periodic free knitting circles for kids and social stitch events. I did not interact with staff today, so I can't speak on customer service, but maybe on a future shopping trip, I'll hopefully be helped if needed. In short, Rumpelstiltskin really is a wonderful staple in the Sacramento community for fiber art beginners, hobbyists, and pro-level enthusiasts alike and I'm so glad I know more about Rumpelstiltskin now so I can feel comfortable to come back for higher-quality yarn and supplies for more serious projects as well as for classes and events to connect with our local fiber art community.

Screw it, just glue it…read more What's not to love about a three day weekend that involves your favorite hobby. The people at Scrapbook Expo Sacramento do a great job. Next year's schedule is already posted to their website. Everything you need to know and get ready for an expo is right there. I have been to over 10 expos since it started. It's held downtown at the convention center. We have an area the size of a football field set up so we can scrap from 8 am to midnight Friday and Saturday and 3pm to midnight Thursday. At the crops they offer use of a large work station with various scrapbooking tools. Prizes are drawn all evening long. On Thursday night there are 10 make and takes included in the evening. Next door to the scrap area is a shopping center that fits onto another football field. Name brand suppliers and some smaller companys bring the latest products to demo and sell. You can shop til you drop Friday and Saturday 9-5. Over 50 instructional classes are also offered in adjacent classrooms for two days. If you think you might want to start scrapbooking or card marking this event could truly get you hooked. If you are an old pro at it, this is an all around great venue to enjoy your craft.

The pandemic has exposed the terrible business model of scrapbook expo. They sell tickets and take…read moredeposits from vendors and then spend the money in advance of the event. So when all of the events were canceled all they could do was make excuses and issue certificates for future events. Major vendors have left since they lost so much money and saw the true nature of this business. So now the events going forward will be much smaller. A certificate for one of these future events instead of a refund of the ticket price paid in 2019 is not an equal substitute. Meanwhile the company is holding online events for which they are collecting fees, but still no refunds. Support your local scrapbook store instead or go to one of the events that vendors who have left expo are now doing independently.

The selection of goodies in this boutique is MASSIVE! Everywhere you look there are such cool things One of the girls and one working the floor really helped me because I was fascinated by the candles but confused on what was what, so thank you loves! I even found a kitty calendar for 2026 and I am already extremely excited to hang it up! As far as the cost was id you kept your eye out you could get some seriously good products for a good deal I think I got 5-6 chunky candles some oils the calendar for 50 to 69 bucks but there are some candles there that are that exact price. The girls working will steer you in the right direction away from the crazy high priced things 1000/10 overall WILL be returning with friends to do some serious damage bans say hello to the sweet employees!!

What a cute shop of trinklets!!!…read more After the Midtown Farmers Market, my Sis and I wanted to walk around some more. Be sure to pay for your parking before you walk away!! On weekends, it's harder to find parking, but with patience, you'll get one. My sister wanted to go to vampire penguin but we were distracted by "Garden of Enchantment." As we walked in, we noticed the astrology books and then crystals, wind chimes... there were beautiful wooden chests that I want to come back for. This store has narrow isles and gets packed! So be careful! Any of these items can be beautiful gifts or just something special for yourself. I ended up getting some jewelery and some incense for my daughter. Some items felt like they were very overpriced. Like... back in Roseville, I could get the same crystal for at least $8 cheaper. Not that I couldn't afford it, but to me, it was a ridiculously priced... but hey!! It's in Old Sacramento... which can be a touristy kinda place! So prices get hiked! When I paid for my items, the girl behind the register was fast and had me out of the crowd quick. Onto the next shop!!!!

It gave our invitations the personal touch which was important. Rosaura is amazingly talented and has a heart of gold, going above and beyond to send updates on her progress as she painted. The saddest part of the wedding being over is you no longer get to work with creative partners like Rosaura. Thank you, Ro!
