    Giant Avocado Piñata
    Dee V.

    I asked for a giant avocado piñata, and that's exactly what I got. Perfect! I posted a pic. I called about a month before the event and left a voicemail. When Gladys called back I described the avocado-half-with-pit-sticking-out shape and colors I wanted, She asked how big. I wasn't sure, but it was a big event with more than 200 people. She recommended 4-5 feet. That sounded humongous. I think I ended up asking for 3.5-4 feet. She said no problem, she could do it in time and would make it extra sturdy since it was a large crowd. It was ready three weeks later. Little Zach picked it up in San Francisco at the appointed time, and I hid the awesome surprise from the bride and groom for another week. It's nice to have a giant avocado pinata around the house. Every time i saw it sitting there on the guest bed, it made me smile. A giant avocado pinata is funny and sort of soothing at the same time. I miss it. RIP. Tip: The fill-hole was kinda little, so I cut the end off a shoe box and bent it to form a funnel/chute to slide the candy in faster. It was a lot of candy and would have taken forever with out my filling tool. Price: $50. I requested a matching decorated stick (for hitting), which they provided for an extra $5. How to contact Gladys to order your own custom pinata: 650-758-2285, rainbowpinatas@yahoo.com **A big thanks to Sara A. for noting the current phone number and email address!**

    Ladybug theme piñata! Done within one day by Gladys!!!

    100% RECOMMENDED!!! I have never had a piñata made by Gladys so I was a bit concerned, but after reading the great reviews I decided to give her a try... I emailed Gladys (rainbowpinatas@yahoo.com) on a Thursday night (around 10:30p.m.) with a picture of something similar to what I was looking for. I was surprised to hear from Gladys the following morning (Friday around 9:30a.m.) with the news that she would definitely be able to do it!!! Unfortunately, I was very behind and I needed it for that same weekend(Sunday) but she was able to pull it off and have it ready the following day! Gladys business is not the location which is on yelp so don't try and drive to her location. She is definitely someone that I will continuing business with in the future!!! Thank You Gladys!!!

    panda pinata made by Gladys
    Christine C.

    Gladys is great! Her work is amazing and just what I wanted! I called and emailed Gladys last week and she responded after a couple days. I told her I would like a panda pinata and sent her a picture. She said no problem and told me it would be $35 for a 3 foot panda pinata and $5 for a matching stick. A couple days later, she left me a message saying it was ready to be picked up ahead of scheduled at Mi Linda Peru, a restaurant in the mission. When I went there, I was amazed and happy at what a wonderful job she did! It is the cutest panda pinata! I will definitely contact Gladys for other custom pinatas!

    We're NUTS about Gladys! I found Rainbow Pinatas through Yelp while trying to find a pinata I could fill with nuts. Because of the good reviews, I decided to give Rainbow a try. I emailed rainbowpinatas@yahoo.com about 1.5 weeks before I needed one made. She responded with price quotes ($45 for 2 feet; $7 for every extra 1/2 foot). I sent her a photo for an almond-shaped pinata, paid her an initial deposit via PayPal and she got started all within 24 hours of my initial inquiry. A few days later, she told me the pinata was ready for pick-up at Mi Lindo Peru restaurant in South Mission. I paid the remainder in cash upon arrival and picked up a beautifully made almond pinata. While I never got to meet Gladys, the pinata she had created was an exact replica of the photo I had sent, cape and all (see photo). We used it for my boyfriend's birthday party, and the pinata was durable and lasted many rounds of hitting before we cracked it. It was a fun night we'll cherish forever. Thank you, Gladys!

    Gladys was very nice and kept in touch via email regarding my order. It was bigger than I expected and the Pinata was well constructed. It took a 6'5 270lb grown man at least 4-5 times to bust it open. I requested a football for my "Touchdown or Tutus" Gender Reveal. It was cute and fun. Thank you Gladys and if I ever need another piñata at an affordable price I'll definitely be back. Also, it's inside of a restaurant and the waitress walked by me with food and I seen they have Lomo Saltaldo I'll be back to try as it's my FAVORITE dish!!!

    Custom Lady Bug piñata (6/2016) - used a plastic bat to hit by adults
    Jess W.

    Gladys is amazing! I jokingly requested a ladybug pinata for my birthday and BAM, Fred the ladybug shows up. My friend placed the order and picked it up at a restaurant but never met with Gladys. He felt it was kinda sketchy at first, but based on so many positive reviews, it relieved some of his anxiety. We had 9 adults go at it with a plastic bat. Next time I order the pinata, I would get the matching stick!

    rubber ducky piñata & stick
    Rocio G.

    I'm very happy with the quality of the piñata Gladys made for me. It looked like the pictures I sent her and was the appropriate size and thickness for the small crowd of 2-3 year olds we had at our party. If I could I'd take off half a star because communication was not consistent. I called her a month before the party and she asked me to email her the details of what I wanted. I emailed that night and never got a response. So I emailed again a week later asking if she got my first message and she replied yes. Fast forward to the week before my party I emailed her to ask when the piñata would be done and she replied the next day saying it was done I could go get it at Mi Lindo Peru. I just would have appreciated more proactive communication on her part but all in all I'm very happy with the results.

    Death Star Piñata, May the 4th be with YOU!
    T J.

    Ordered 3 - 3 ft Death Star Pinata's for May the 4th Be with You corporate event and couldn't be happier. They were available to pickup when I requested them to be and it couldn't have been easier. The pinata had great detail and was not egg shaped (which was something I was worried about). Can't wait to use for my son's b-day party!

    How big it is compared to my 1yo.

    This is a long overdue review for Gladys. I ordered a custom made UP movie theme house piñata. She completed it within the week. I never met Gladys because I had help from a friend in SF to pick up for me. But working with her through email was really fast and easy. Everyone loved it. It was a really nice and well made that doesn't break too easily. Thank you!

    Awesome custom rat piñata.
    Cheryl P.

    Rainbow Piñatas came through on my custom rat piñata request and I couldn't be happier. Very responsive on email, quick turn around, easy pickup, and pretty darn affordable based on my rat piñata research.

    Gladys was great! I contacted her by email for a pinata of our company logo for our up coming BBQ. I told her that I needed it extra sturdy because it was going to be mostly men swinging away at it. It took about two weeks to make and Gladys contacted me by email when it was ready for pick up. When my coworker and I went to pick it up we had a good laugh. The pinata was HUGE and THICK! I drive a SUV and it barely fit in the back of my car with the seats down. The pinata was a big hit at the party and we had several different people take a whack at it before it finally burst. FYI you pick the pinata up at a restaurant called Mi Lindo Peru off Mission Street.

    Custom BROCCOLI piñata!
    Bowen D.

    I contacted Gladys by email. She replied right away and said "I can make anything!". I asked her to make a big green vegetable, and she made this giant broccoli piñata. My girlfriend loved it. So awesome!

    Yuri P.

    She did a really nice job with the piñata i ask for. My son loves to see videos about surprise egg that's why on his birthday party i decided to have a piñata egg to surprise him. I found rainbow piñatas on yelp so decided to give them a try. The piñata was just perfect. Thanks you!

    Actually haven't shopped here but don't really want to after speaking with someone named Deborah. I…read morecannot say if this person works in sales or customer care but either way, she's not great. When I called last week to inquire about an Accent Decor product from the AD website she was quick to scold me for not knowing how it all works including using the website, the process for ordering, etc.. She used the verbiage of a parent scolding a child and told me I WAS GROUNDED! (no, seriously, I'm not kidding) Excuse me? I'm a grown woman with absolutely NO relation to you and this is a business call. It didnt get better when I followed up with an email inquiry for look alike products to aforementioned AD item (screenshot attached). When I had mentioned I didnt have time to drive 30 minutes to the SF flower market in the near future but would stop in on my next planned visit, I was told that I need to "make time to come in" or "just go on the website" with absolutely no warmth or customer care. This may be the worst first impression of a business I have ever had. Sounds like others have had this same issue and it wouldnt surprise me if they were all her.

    Great selection in an informal warehouse setting…read more Lots of choices here. Great service from the different vendors I visited. Better value for money. This was a delightful find. It is not crowded as you get closer to closing time. I found it easy to make a purchase at that time. Come here to the source. Paid parking available.

    We had a somewhat difficult time finding a day of planner. We wanted someone extremely organized…read moreyet flexible, as we had some traditional elements to our wedding but a lot of nontraditional ones as well. It was important to us that we felt our planner really understood us, which would enable us to have the wedding we dreamed of. The moment we met Christine of Ribbon and Tie we knew we'd love her to be our planner. Unfortunately she was already booked, but she set us up with her assistant Samar to be our day of planner, and Christine would take care of all the details until that day. Christine was extremely helpful in the weeks and months leading up to the wedding. She answered all my questions....some big, some small, some reasonable, many crazy...all with a calm and kind and ORGANIZED way about her. Basically, exactly what you'd want in a planner. Even though she wouldn't be there that day, she came with us (and Samar) to the site visit about a month before. I was a little bit hesitant about dealing with one person before the wedding and another person that day, but Christine must be an excellent communicator because Samar did fantastic the day of. Samar coordinated our wedding rehearsal the day before. She was really calm and handled it really well. Our wedding rehearsal took place outside at noon on a HOT day, and we had lots of little kids in the wedding, and they wanted to do anything but concentrate on how they were supposed to walk the next day. She managed to keep everyone focused and taught us all when and how to walk, and everyone left confident that they knew what to do the next day. On the day of the wedding, I had brought with me about a zillion photos to display, coloring books for little kids, party favors to be at each place setting...you name it, we brought it. Samar (and her assistant Liz) set everything up beautifully and still had time to answer any questions we had. She coordinated the delivery and setup of the drinks from Bev Mo, the microphone and speaker, the photobooth, the ice cream cake. She kept the party running smoothly, would pull me away if I needed to be somewhere, and she did this all with a smile on her face. And I have a feeling she did ten thousand other things that I don't even know about. She probably didn't have to work out for a month, she was so busy running around. The one thing I wish she had done was to make sure we signed our marriage license. Luckily we remembered the next day (and the officiant was my sister so she was still around), but I'd highly advise you to be sure that she'll remind you that day to sign it. Most importantly to me, if there were problems at the wedding, I didn't know a thing about them. Samar took care of them without me finding out. This was really important to me to be able to enjoy my wedding and not stress out about the things that went wrong. If I knew all the other things that Samar did at the wedding this post would be even longer than it already is, so suffice to say I highly recommend either Samar or Christine from Ribbon and Tie.

    We haven't had our actual wedding yet, so I'll have to update this in three months. But we hired…read moreChristine as our Day Of Coordinator and have been really impressed so far. She answers email really quickly, is totally sweet, and as my fiance said after meeting her, "She's the only wedding planner I've ever encountered who doesn't annoy the shit out of me." She gets total bonus points so far because, when we showed up at her house for our initial meeting, one of us had mixed up the days (I have no idea who) and she wasn't expecting us. It was early on a Saturday morning, and she was still totally gracious and on the ball. It was actually pretty funny---her boyfriend/husband (not sure which) answered the door in his bathrobe. I felt so bad for interrupting their morning. But he was so nice about it and made us tea and hung out with us for the few minutes it took Christine to get ready. She was really mellow and fun and definitely got what we were looking for.
