We stop into Strapping often and love seeing the changing stock of fun items. They stock seasonal items, along with a variety of cute, quirky, edgy, and fun items. Truly a little something for everyone. I personally love the home goods and have picked up a variety of items like candles, spoon rests, flower pots, and more. They have a lot of Sacramento items as well and even have items for different neighborhoods. Some of these are items from their team, and some are sourced from local vendors. There's a good mix of local business items, small business items, and popular items that make this a much different experience than other gift shops. Keep an eye on their social media for new item stocks, special events, and pop ups. You could stop by weekly and find new items to fall in love with.

One of my and my sisters favorite things to do is to discover new crystal stores. Today, Yelp found…read moreus Crystal Vibez. Parking is limited and this shop is a lot smaller than we are used to, however, they had many good items to check out. The woman working today was Antonette. She so kindly showed us around the small shop and pointed out that the candles and bars of soaps were homemade. There was even homemade whipped body butters. Very impressive. They had a nice variety of crystals, different types of sage, books, jewelry, and a beautiful giant piece of amethyst. Most of the items I looked at were reasonably priced, while a few were on the more expensive side. I had picked out several things I was excited about: a few bars of homemade soap, body butter, a labradorite stone, some sage, a zodiac candle, and two tiny voodoo doll keychains. Unfortunately, the checkout process took much longer than expected, and when I was given the total, it didn't sound quite right. I'm a very visual person, so I asked if I could see the items being rung up. That's when we discovered that the discounts hadn't been applied correctly. For example, two bars of soap were supposed to be slightly discounted when purchasing two or more. I also noticed that the body butter was ringing up at a different price than what I had seen on the shelf, so I decided not to purchase it. The two tiny voodoo doll keychains were coming out to $15.98, which I personally didn't feel they were worth, and the zodiac candle was also ringing up $5 more than the displayed price. When I asked about the price differences, I was told that the prices in the computer were different from the prices displayed on the shelves, and the displayed prices could not be honored. Even after showing Antonette there was a display showing a special price of $10. At that point, between the long checkout process, the discounts initially not being applied, and the discrepancies between the shelf prices and the register prices, I started to feel uncomfortable with the transaction. Ultimately, I decided to leave everything behind rather than complete the purchase. I really wanted to like this shop because there were some genuinely cute and unique things inside, and Antonette was very kind and helpful. Unfortunately, the checkout experience and pricing discrepancies left me with a bad feeling. I'd love to see them improve their checkout process and make sure the prices displayed on the shelves match what's in the register. If those issues were addressed, I'd be much more comfortable giving the shop another try. After I posted a photo of the zodiac candle showing the $10 price, Tina, the owner, reached out to apologize for my experience. She offered me a candle and store credit to make things right, which I really appreciate. I'm not sure when I'll make it back out to Sacramento with my crazy schedule, but when I do, I'd be happy to give Crystal Vibez another try and update my review based on that experience.

Eek! What a cool place to get some holiday gifts if you can afford it! I was walking around Lyon's…read moreplaza which is in my new neighborhood and found this enticing shop. "Ignite your senses" seems to be the shops motto and it did ignite mine. Five has all kinds of gifts, art, textures, scents and tastes like chocolates.. Five has all kinds of things to stimulate all of your senses especially your visual senses in my opinion. The owner and partner are also very nice women. I was told with the exception of a few things nothing was overlapped in Sacramento, everything else would be found only in San Francisco or New York. This isn't in the price range of shops I could normally afford so I didn't give it a five however, I really enjoyed the window shopping. Five is also having a grand opening party on Thursday, the 13th of December from 5p-9p. There is going to be live music, food & holiday cheer and of course, I will be there :)

They have gifts for every taste and you never know what you're going to find that you just have to have for your own place. With selections of items from jewelry and stickers to ceramics, candles, lotions, children's items, and more. Some of my favorite items to browse are the candles for the latest seasonal scents, the local items, and the ceramics. The best part is that they refresh inventory and bring in seasonal items so everytime you visit there's something new to look at. On top of the great variety of items for purchase, they partner with local businesses for events and experiences where you can craft, learn more about products, and get hands on. They're bringing the community together while uplifting other small businesses. The team here is always friendly, and if it's not the owner it's typically another small business owner so you can make small talk and learn something new. The pricing ranges based on the products and brands that are carried but I've found some great deals and feel like all the products I've purchased here are well worth the cost.
