I love shopping at Blue Vibrations…read more Great selection of gemstones, crystals, and unique items. I've purchased various gemstones & crystals.and have found them helpful in spiritual journeys. I do really miss their "old" staff.. Joey and Itxchel were wonderful, knowledge and always brought and offered a sense of calm. I truly hope their well. The current staff seems less knowledgeable and their energy well a lot less calming. I really hope the shop figures out their personnel in the new year. It's a great shop and the customers deserve a great staff. Items are priced on the higher end. However they have a variety of items for various budgets.

Very cool store!!!!…read more Personally, I am not into this holistically super power stuff, but my kids love the stones and crystals. I do like some rocks myself, but then again who doesn't?! Right? Value for the crystals and stones is pretty reasonable! My kids especial loved the Gumball machine that dispenses Stones! What? And like one or two, this machine drops about 10-15!!! All for a quarter!!!! My kids no joke spent like $4 each. And the owner even gave them a $1 each!!! What???!! Great little store! I'm sure she has all the crystal energy items you can ask for!

I will say this story is interesting. They have some neat stuff in here but some of the stuff is…read moreextremely over priced. I know we like gemstones or crystals but you can find them in a lot of places and for a bit less if you ask me. I get it we want value but this isn't going to be the first or last store for crystals or gemstones or anything else up that line of items. I would come back but I wouldn't go out of my way to come here if were being honest.

When I noticed the wall of loose leaf teas behind her, she quickly let me know that if I wanted a smaller batch, they have pre-packaged teas too. The tea that I chose was the 'Cramp Comfort' tea, which contains hibiscus, lady's mantle, licorice, lavender, red, raspberry leaf, fennel, cramp bark, and raspberry flavor. It's been really helpful for my period cramps too. :) You can also find crystals, incense, candles, perfumes, and oddities here. The staff member told me that they are all ethically sourced items- e.g., the butterflies and animal bones are from animals that already passed away. Lastly, I have to say, their prices are very affordable compared to other shops. I found a preserved butterfly for $10 and I got a pack of organic loose leaf tea for $8. I will be back again soon.

Nice store! I am actually surprised Lady of the Lake came back to San Diego. Years ago there was…read moreone off University Ave, and while I loved going there, I grew to dislike it as the people who worked there were cold and unfriendly. Thankfully the guy working here was really nice! This store is huge, way bigger than I expected it to be, but I love that! It reminded me of what the store used to be. There are tons of incense, statuettes, tarot cards, candles, and essential oils. They also got an abundance of herbs and books. Psychic readings are also offered, although they didn't have a list of who is reading and what days they're in. I felt kinda bad because there wasn't anyone in the store when I got here...I remember the North Park store would always have at least 5-7 customers regularly. Also parking is scant in this area. I had to park 3 blocks away just to go here, which isn't bad but not great. Definitely a fun place to visit!

Then…read morethis past Saturday I went back to check in and he didn't remember me at all or the money I paid for his services to help me and my current love situation. If I had known he was forgetful and can't remember I would have chose a different botánica. I gave him the pictures of me and my love interest and he said 21 days should show improvement between me and my partner. I explained to him that things are getting worse between me and my boyfriend and he told me to return back in a couple weeks but I don't understand how if he can't even remember my case or situation I paid for. The 1st of February will be 21 days so I will be returning back soon. Hoping to resolve this and get my moneys worth since it was not cheap at all. I'll keep you posted.

Our Lady's Gifts is part of, and directly behind, the Chiesa Cattolica Madonna del Santo Rosario…read more("Our Lady of the Rosary Church") in Little Italy. The entrance to the gift shop is off of Columbia Street, rather than State Street, which is the access for the Church. When I arrived at the shop at about 2:30 p.m., the door was locked, even though the posted store hours showed the shop should be open. It was then I noticed the little handwritten sign posted to the door that stated "Be back at 2:45 p.m.". Accordingly, I waited in the pretty garden courtyard, with its statues, mosaics and fragrant white roses. Happily, the shopkeeper soon arrived. The interior is larger than expected, and there is a lot of merchandise available. I was there to buy a rosary, and I found a big one with red glass beads and a gold cross that I liked. I also bought a wall hanging of a crowned heart with gold wings, to represent the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The cashier was pleasant and helpful. I never felt watched or followed around the store. I took my time and looked around at leisure before making my purchases. After leaving the store, I decided to say the rosary in honor of a family member in the pretty courtyard garden just outside the shop. There was a comfortable table under an umbrella that looked inviting, so I sat there. I pulled out the new rosary from it's velvet case and began the prayers. It was at that point that I decided to pullout my phone so that I could have my favorite photograph of my loved one in front of me while I prayed. However, as I did so, something happened and the picture seemed to delete. I was frantic, as that particular photograph is irreplaceable. I looked under "Recently Deleted" photographs and it was not there. What happened? I scrolled and scrolled and could not find it! I called the IT supervisor at my office and they tried to help me, but to no avail. I decided to continue saying the rosary to see if that would help in my efforts to locate the missing photograph, but it did not. I was beginning to think maybe the rosary I had just purchased was a "bad luck" rosary! But how could that be? After all of these unsuccessful attempts, I walked to nearby Barbusa for dinner with a heavy heart. The hostess and the waiter were sympathetic but unable to offer insight. After ordering the wine, I googled Apple instructions and was able to locate the photograph. What began as a somber dinner was now a celebration! So now I know the prayers on my new red rosary were heard by Las Madonna del Santo Rosario! if you are in need of something, if you have a longing in your heart, you should consider going to Our Lady's Gift's and buying a rosary for prayers! You never know what just might come into your life!

You need to book! 100% Best Experience!!!…read more I booked a trip just to go get Permanent Jewelry with Carmen in the San Diego Gaslamp area October 2025, I had the best trip and the best experience because of Carmen at Bijut Collection!! A True GEM her attention to detail, allowing me to easily get comfortable in the studio. The selection was top notch and she helped guide me through the options and what would work best for my Lifestyle!! I got a hand chain the first day, then the next day I had to get the stack going, and added two more bracelet's. Very personalized for me, added connectors for my kids, and then did a one for my husband and me. THESE are a game changer!! I never have to worry about having enough time to get my jewelry on running out the door, I'm always ready to go! The quality for the cost is pretty amazing, for it being a lifetime piece, hands down worth every penny, and some!

I am SO glad I found Bijut on Yelp because this was honestly the best permanent jewelry experience I've had. I already have a lot of permanent jewelry, so I knew what to expect walking in, but Carmen truly made this experience stand out. I booked an appointment through her website and was able to get in within the hour. Her studio is conveniently located in Gaslamp, and parking nearby was super easy. From the moment we walked in, the vibes were amazing. Carmen was so welcoming, and her studio was adorable. SHE HAS EVERYTHING. Seriously, her selection was the best I've seen. She had so many unique chains and charms. My boyfriend and I ended up getting matching chains, and I got a smaller version of it to make it feel a little more feminine. I also couldn't help myself and got a freshwater pearl anklet too, which I'm obsessed with. I'm from LA, but I've already told my friends they need to stop by Bijut whenever theyre in SD. Can't wait to come back!

Right in the middle of Hillcrest in San Diego lies a great, not so little, mystical shop. The…read moreenergy as you walk thru the doors is wonderful, with plenty of giant crystals vibrating and beckoning you in. They have a large selection of just about everything they carry, from gems and crystals and clothing to jewelry and all sorts of mystical gifts. The lady behind the counter also carries a wonderfully peaceful vibe with her, and was very helpful and curious, adding to the overall experience. Pricing is a bit on the high side, but remember they are in a large storefront in the Hillcrest part of San Diego, no cheap rent here. But as opposed to buying your gems or crystals online for less, here you get the hands on experience which counts for a lot when buying such a stone or gem. Plus the atmosphere inside the store is peacefully mystical and refreshing break from all the high energy bars and restaurants nearby. Definitely worth a visit when you're in the neighborhood.

I love having this shop in the neighborhood…read more I'll admit some of their prices are marked up higher than I'm used to seeing at similar stores (especially compared to online shops). I'm guessing that's just the price you pay for Hillcrest rent. I love walking there vs ordering from some soulless online shop so it's fine with me. Other things are priced more fairly, so maybe it all evens out. They also have sales from time to time. I visited on St Patrick's day, and there was a discount on all green crystals, which was super cute. Unfortunately, the bracelet I got that day broke within 3 months of wearing it. It's my go-to shop for incense, oracle cards, and similar gifts, especially around the holidays. They do a great job carrying a little something for everyone and the staff is always really helpful if you're not exactly sure what you're looking for.
