She was going on and on about H+H she even had come over to her desk so she could show me their website. Yes they had a lot of very cute dog stuff like leashes, collars, and harnesses that you most likely couldn't get anywhere else. I was in the area and said I have to stop by and show some love. The shop is small, very cute, and very well organized. There is a home section and the dog section is in the back. I was very impressed with this shop because the items that they have is pretty much one of a kind. Much of my focus was on the dog section and the quality of the items were amazing. Next time I'll pay more attention to the home section. Every time I'm in the area I'll stop by to see what's new. Great job Home + Hound!!!

Well, I am the queen of color so left empty handed (for me) but spotted many interesting and practical gifts for my friends with dogs, so even if initially did not realize what things they were selling in this store, then I got great ideas for gifts.

I walked in and realized this is some sort of Mexican shop where I'll be able to find lots of crafty stuff. Boy was I immediately mesmerized by all the fun crafts, especially the "pan dulce" stuffies which I think were like coin bags, some were conchas and the rest just regular pan dulce bags. There is lots to see and buy, and not to mention they have 2 other ships on the same street, per the sales associate who helped ring me up (couldn't leave without buying anything). This is a fun and colorful shop to find quirky stuff. From candy to clothing to crafts.

I saw some things I'd like, but they were way out of my price range! I was shocked considering this isn't new stuff.

Socks $14 and desk organizer was around $7. The interior is just so cute. If you get it, you get it! lol Such a nice place to visit if you want to grab some things for yourself and gifts.

It's perfect for gifting: they carry a wide range of cookbooks, jewelry, home and kitchen items, candles, perfumes, cards, and tons more. Whether it's a housewarming, birthday, or a "just because" moment, this is always one of my go‑to spots. I love that they wrap purchases in pretty tissue paper, making every gift feel intentional and ready to give. The store is full of little treasures, so take your time -- there's a lot to explore. Gold Leaf is also part of a small cluster of connected shops right in the heart of South Park, which makes it even more fun to wander around and browse. A charming, thoughtful, beautifully curated shop that never disappoints.

Cute, cute little shop!…read more My FAVORITE thing about this small shop is the worker doesn't harass you the whole time. (Thank the lord!) I love boutique stores but hate when they follow you around/pressure you to buy. A hello, asked if we need anything, and friendly service on the way out. Service 5/5. Simple yet effective. Select is adorable. Some expensive but they do have quite a few reasonably priced items. I originally went for a journal and really love the selection of everything they had. Fun artsy items. Also seemed to carry alot of smaller business (which I love!) If are looking for cute niche items -this is your place. I will be back! :)

With so much to explore, it did not feel overwhelming. Greeting cards, jewelry, candles, stickers, cute incense holders, loose-leaf tea, honey, and heart-shaped wooden spoons, among other things, were available. I wanted to purchase the entire store but restrained myself. I purchased three stickers and a heart-shaped wooden spoon, which cost $21.55. The stickers I bought ranged from $3 to $5. This is on the lower end compared to other stickers I've purchased from different establishments. The staff was friendly. We found free street parking around the corner and plenty of other stores to walk to. I recommend this place, especially since Christmas is in a month!

I have been shopping at Kiko + Sven for the past several years. It was one of the first stores I…read morelearned about when I went to the very first Adams Avenue Spirit Stroll, which is a local, annual sip and shop event. I then went back to do a little holiday shopping, and have been back many times since. I am also happy that the shop continues to host a spirt stop on the stroll. Kiko + Sven is a tiny shop with a lot of cute items. Some appear handmade and other are just cute or unique. They probably have more jewelry than anything. It is mostly dainty gold and silver, some with long beads and some made from clay. They have a back wall that is full of greeting cards, and a section of toddler and baby items. There are usually quite a few candles and soaps, and a small amount of cocktail/cooking supplies. All of it calls out to me... and makes me want to spend money. They also have a rack of clothing in the shop, and usually a sale rack outside. I have bought a couple of tops and a cute shawl there in the past, but since the selection is so small, I often don't find any clothing that either is my size or style. I think it is a great shop to browse and find something unecspected. As it is very small, the times I went looking for something more specific for gifts, it has been a bit hit or miss. Their stock varies over time and you may or may not luck out. All in all, if you are shopping or eating on Adams, go check it out. It's really fun to browse and you may find something you like. Also, they will make you an account so you can put your phone number in for discounts without any coupons or solicitaitons.
