They took the time to explore several possibilities with me, pulled items for me to try, and offered suggestions for accessories that would bring the look together. What stood out most was their genuine enthusiasm and expertise. Gypsy Treasures is infinitely superior to those seasonal Halloween shops - they're passionate about costumes, makeup, accessories, and the art of creating a complete look. Their selection includes high-quality, theater-grade makeup and a wide range of unique pieces. I never felt pressured to make a purchase. Their focus was clearly on helping me find the right solution, not simply making a sale, which is a rare quality these days. I highly recommend Gypsy Treasures. I'll definitely be returning!

I found a beautiful top on the rack outside Whips n Fur that I fully intended to purchase. I…read moredecided to browse the store before checking out, but unfortunately, my experience went downhill the moment I walked inside. Upon entering, I noticed a bin near the front door where customers are required to leave backpacks and large bags as a theft deterrent. I completely understand that policy for oversized bags. However, I was carrying a regular-sized purse, NOT a backpack or large bag. To make matters even more confusing, there was a HUGE sign clearly stating "Purses OK." Despite this, the employee insisted that I surrender my purse and place it in the bin. I was extremely uncomfortable with this, especially considering the bin was right near the entrance, where anyone could potentially grab someone's belongings and walk out. I had no intention of leaving my personal valuables unsecured in a publicly accessible area. What bothered me most was how aggressively the policy was enforced, despite the store's own signage clearly distinguishing purses from larger bags. I felt pressured, singled out, and incredibly uneasy. The entire interaction raised red flags and made me question how secure customers' belongings actually are. Ultimately, I chose not to purchase the top or continue shopping. It's unfortunate because I genuinely wanted to support the business, but no piece of clothing is worth feeling intimidated or being forced to leave my personal belongings somewhere I don't feel they're safe. If your sign says "Purses OK," then your employees should honor that policy. Otherwise, what's the point of having the sign? Very disappointing experience. I left feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend this store. **** saying We attempted to communicate with you, but the interaction did not lead to a resolution.**** complete LIE!! Never happened. I decided never to shop here again, that's the resolution... as you don't know what a purse is.

Pam was SO helpful & kind, helping me find items but not pushy at all (perfect combo). I had no idea they make the gorgeous pieces they sell! The quality is amazing & prices are cheaper than similar (high quality) festival clothing online. I got a beautiful black lace skirt and beautiful matching top with long arms, and flowers on the black lace. Gorgeous and I can't wait to wear it! The items are one of a kind because they are made on site so you can really show off some beautiful statement, artistic pieces of clothing if you like that kind of thing, which I do! Their jewelry is beautiful... Looks exactly like items I saw on Etsy for five times the price! I can't wait to come here next year while before Coachella so I can get all my outfits here. It really is a hidden jam in San Diego! I'd highly recommend it for anyone going to costume parties or festivals!

Customer service was okay, ladies at the front were nice but the girl in the back was just staring and staring without saying anything at all, kinda creepy and maybe she was trying to be creepy on purpose? I tried smiling but she just continued staring in a predatory manner, no smile no greeting. I don't know what she was doing but it was uncomfortable. It seemed like she was trying to intimidate me, but all she did was come off as socially awkward. There were some awful misbehaved kids running around the store screaming and knocking down displays and ruining stuff, and yet this odd girl is targeting us and staring at us in a creepy way instead of doing her job. Watch out for this staring girl by the dressing rooms. However, this is a mom and pop store, so it was good to support small business.

The process is a little more old-school compared to other trade-in and resale stores since they don't seem to be as electronically up-to-date. I received a call about 10 minutes after dropping off my clothes. I brought in two large bags filled with very nice, name-brand items, many of which still had the price tags on them, and they didn't accept a single thing. I was honestly pretty shocked. For comparison, Buffalo Exchange and Plato's Closet each accepted anywhere from 4 to 10 items from me, so if they don't take anything here, I'd definitely recommend trying some other resale stores. The employees were very friendly, but I was a little surprised by how my clothes were handled after they went through them. They were left sitting right by the front door off to the side. I would have at least expected them to be placed behind the counter or somewhere out of the way. Overall, the staff were friendly, and they did have some cool looking stuff for sale. I didn't spend much time browsing, but it seemed like they had a decent selection.

This seems like such a fun (and appropriate) store for a shopping center like Seaport Village! My son thought the pirate themed items were great! There were clothes for adults and children alike. I thought the onesie that said "I smell trouble" was just too cute. They have pirate shirts and hats. The huge selection of guns was truly unique. There were lots of signs, plaques, and even wall art. There are items even hanging from the ceiling here. The nautical items are my favorite things to explore here. Brass bells, signs, and clocks are throughout the store. I really like lighthouses, and we found the cutest jewelry box and snow globe. We liked them so much that we ended up buying both. They had some nice compasses and clocks that would make nice gifts for anyone who likes nautical stuff. The service was good here too. The salesperson who rang up our items was both thoughtful and sweet. She made sure to ask if we found everything we were looking for and wrapped our items with such care. She was also very knowledgable about the items here too. If you're anywhere near Seaport Village and need to buy a gift for someone who likes nautical or pirate themed items, you'll never go wrong with stopping by Captain's Cove for a unique gift!!

I…read morewas too busy these past few days with the passing of one of our family members and it seems that we don't feel like decorating this year. YESTERDAY we visited our favorite store for Halloween, "SPIRIT HALLOWEEN", to see what we could add this year. As always SPIRIT HALLOWEEN always sold us good ANIMATRONICS for our Haunted House. LAST YEAR our Best Buy from them were these 2 TALL FLAMING FIRES that I put on both sides of my DEVILISH looking CHAIR surrounded with HUGE ANIMATRONICS. But this year when we came to visit Spirit Halloween there weren't many selections for me, but we were still able to purchase a few. I just don't know if I'm going to be able to put out all of my ANIMATRONICS and set them up, power them up to move, and make them make sounds with phrases. I will try my best, but no promises 'coz I really feel bad to those KIDS who come every year, my Haunted house even lasts until 12 MIDNIGHT. Well I had to close my Gate at 12 am or people wont stop coming , plus at night it gets creepier, I don't see kids anymore, but I see teens and adults going down from their car with BEAUTIFUL costumes still trick or tricking at my house ;) Again, most of these ANIMATRONICS that makes my house HAUNTED on HALLOWEEN are mostly from the "SPIRIT HALLOWEEN STORE". And again, this year I'm not sure if I can put them up 'coz unboxing them, putting them up, and making them move and talk and plus the Lighting takes a lot of time and we aren't sure if we are gonna make it in time. Sorry in advance to those who come every year. Our 17 year old dog just passed away and my regular routine slowed down. So if this Haunted House is not up this Monday, see you guys next Halloween kids.

***ATTENTION Corporate Leaders***…read more My cousin & I were disrespected & humiliated at Spirit Halloween - CaminoTENT #60754 in Westfield Mission Valley Mall on 10/25/22 at 4:19PM by Cashier Jana (3363793) & her Unknown Shift Lead at Register 4, Transaction #2666. I purchased a Superman costume at this location on 10/21. Because the receipt machine wasn't working, the employee who rung me up wrote down the receipt information [View Picture of receipt] & stated that after today, 10/21, only exchanges can be allowed. On Tuesday, 10/25, I returned to the store to exchange the costume. Once I got to the register I stated: "I would like to exchange this costume for a different one. It did not fit right." The cashier, named "Jana," inspected the bag & noticed there was a miniature plastic bag inside. I stated: "Oh, it must have been what the cape was in." Jana stated: "We cannot take an item back once the 'accessories' have been open." I stated: "I was unaware of this policy." Showing her the makeshift receipt I was given, I stated: "Seeing as I was unaware of this policy & was given a receipt with no Return/Exchange Policy stated, can you make an exception?" Jana then retrieved her Supervisor/Shift Lead, who was not wearing a Name Badge at the time. Unknown "Lead": "We cannot take an item back once the 'accessories' have been open." I stated: "I understand your policy, but I was unaware of this policy when I bought it nor does it say anything on my [makeshift] receipt." Unknown Lead: "We tell all our customers this before they buy them." I stated: "I understand that, but 'I' was not told this when I bought it." Unknown Lead claimed: "... I was there when she rung you up. So 'I know' she said it to you." I was baffled at her claim stating that she was "there" when that employee who wrote me a receipt rung me up. Jana stated: "... we're still following COVID rules, we can return a costume because we can wash it. We can't wash accessories." I stated: "... but the [Superman's] cape is the same [material] as the costume, it can be washed..." Unknown Lead: "As we said [with an unsympathetic demeanor]... we can't return accessories once they've been opened." Jana: "We can swap it out for the same costume [which didn't make sense], but it has to be the same one." As we went back & forth, additional "rules" regarding exchanges were spewing out of Jana & Unknown Lead's mouths. The line began to grow, growing past the end of the line wrapping around the store, with only 1 register open - the resister that my cousin & I were at. I stated: "Look, I'm not hear to fight & we're clearly holding up the line. Is there anything you can do for us?" Unknown Lead: "We cannot make the exchange.." With gawking eyes staring us down from the growing line, we embarrassingly took my Superman costume, leaving the store without even an apology. As my cousin & I walked back to my car, we examined the costume bag itself. As we took out the miniature bag which was supposed to hold Superman's cape, we looked at it & realized it read: "Halloween Spider Costu... dysuit with Mask, Adult XXXL" [View Picture of bag]. My cousin & I remained calm and returned to the register. Fortunately we were at Jana's register again - to not have to explain our whole story. The Unknown Lead returned to the register. We told her what happened and that the miniature bag inside the Superman costume packaging was from the Spider-Man mask I have at my home. Unknown Lead stated: "Well... all the capes are still in separate packaging..." My cousin stated: "No, they are not. We checked all the costumes. The capes are attached." The Unknown Lead sends Jana to check ALL the Superman costumes, not even acknowledging my cousin's or my presence while Jana is doing her investigation. Jana returns to the register & quietly states to her lead: "The capes are attached..." Our transaction was Completed. I was able to exchange my costume for another one... HOWEVER, not once did the Unknown Lead or Jana apologize for their behavior and their wrongful actions against my cousin & me. As the transaction was finished, I thanked Jana for the exchange. Walking out the tent with my cousin, the Unknown Lead was standing at the doorway... unapologetic. No sorry for being wrong, no sorry for humiliating us in front of the whole store, and no sorry that we had to go through all this to do a simple exchange of a costume. To Jana, I understand that you were just "doing your job" & complying with your "Lead." But to the Unknown Lead, shame on you. You profiled us as "Karen's" trying to pull the wool over your eyes to get our money back. We in fact spent more money for the exchange. I may have left with a better costume, but we lost our respect for Spirit Halloween stores. I understand that this is a Seasonal Job and that Jana's & the Unknown Lead's job will end next week, but that doesn't give employees the right to disrespect costumers like that.
