I loved this little gift shop. It was kind of a hippy collection of jewelry, rocks, toys, kites,…read moreincense, figurines, and candy. One thing I find frustrating about a lot of gift shops in 2026 is that they all seem to carry exactly the same trinkets, presumably mass-produced internationally and then stamped with local names. Having worked in and visited so many parks over the past few years, I can't help but notice how uniform and un-original the souvenirs are becoming. So, it is really refreshing to step into a gift shop that has an eclectic, unique, fun selection of reasonably-priced gifts that you would be unlikely to find anywhere else. While the merchandise at Harbor View Gifts was not necessarily bougie or locally made, it was definitely different from what you would find in Every State Park. The cashier who helped me was very friendly. As a bonus, this gift shop is located literally right on the edge of the bay. The parking lot could double as a great picnic spot. I ended up leaving with a Bodega Bay squid magnet and a small bag of taffy, which I assume was from the little taffy shop in the parking lot. The taffy alone would have been worth the stop, since it was as good as the taffy from my favorite taffy place, Candy Heaven in Sacramento.

Dark haired woman at the desk was doomscrolling on her phone and barely muttered a greeting, some blonde at the back looked dismisselvly and then decided to ignore me too. I'm baffled! I was wearing my cute mother jeans and classic rock couture jacket and nothing? Not a peep? In this day and age, people are shopping more and more online and now we know why. Also when I was checking out their super hoarder like displays, there was cobwebs everywhere so trust me, I think they know people aren't buying from them and they just don't care.

My husband and I stumbled on this amazing little shop about 2 years ago when we were on vacation…read more Last week, we went to Occidental on another vacation and came by to visit our new favorite shop. To our surprise, they were closed the day we were there -- but it didn't even phase my husband. He decided we had to come back the next day when they were open because his vacation wasn't going to be complete until he got to visit his favorite shop. And boy.. I'm glad he decided to come back! Not only did we load up with a bounty of amazing t-shirts, stickers, and whatnot... the super amazing woman who works there actually remembered us from two years ago! I wish we had shops like this where I live. Every single item is so unique and fun. We had more fun shopping at Hinterland Empire than anywhere else on our entire trip. See you soon, Hinterland friends!

Fat Pilgrim & Harvest Home shop in Sonoma, CA, on Highway 12…read more I luv stopping here to check out the inventory. It harkens to an old timey general store but with modern vibes and artisan curated pieces at down to earth prices. Seriously, the majority of prices match to that bullseye retail shop. One side is a general store with kitchen items, greeting cards, soaps, candles, snacks. jewelry, and women's accessories. The other side sells living room items... furniture, throws, pillows, home decor, small art pieces, and reproduction artwork. Oh I can't forget to tell you about the outdoor art sculptures which are displayed in the back yard. The sculptures are whimsical and artsy. They carry sofas and living room pieces. The furniture is of quality and comes with prices matching that quality. I enjoy shopping for the framed reproduction paintings and home decor. The price points range from $30 and upwards for the paintings.

Upon walking in we were greeted by a friendly woman working the front desk. Immediately I noticed how clean and organized the shop was! The selection was really nice and they made great use of their space! I noticed some empty rooms in the back and when I inquired I was told that they are expanding to add a salon which I thought was a pretty cool concept. Over all it was a little pricey but it is a curated selection and it is in downtown Petaluma so I'm sure a large portion of that is due to overhead. No stars deducted for price because prices seemed to be on par with other stores that carry similar stuff. Over all I would highly recommend this store if you're looking for vintage clothing!

Every single one was an enchanted talisman that could directly connect me to the ocean, and I felt the need to collect them all. For some reason I was particularly fond of the sand dollars! I'm not much of a seashell collector anymore, but I'm still mesmerized by all things ocean-related. I grew up visiting Bodega Bay every summer, shaping my love for cold, eerie, foggy, rocky beaches.. Then in the eighth grade we read the short story that the movie "The Birds" is based on by Daphne du Maurier (more horrifying than the movie, AHHHH it's so good). I developed a love for horror, and also became a big fan of Hitchcock and Kim Novak (Vertigo is one of my fave movies ever). Sooo, naturally, I was primed to become a staunch lover of Hitchock's "The Birds," filmed here in Bodega Bay. Where am I going with all this? Tides Wharf is featured in the film, and this gift shop pays beautiful homage to the movie with fantastic merch. Come here to learn all "The Birds" history and trivia and leave with all kinds of memorabilia. If you're not into "The Birds" (what is wrong with you haha) it's okay -- this spot is otherwise your traditional oceanside gift shop selling all the beachy goodies you'd ever want, from tiny puka shells to enormous conchs, to t-shirts and toys, magnets and shot glasses, local art and stationary, jewelry and mugs, candles and soaps, and so much more.
