I'd say this location is the largest and most eclectic of the group, with a little bit of everything. If you love vibrant, Mexican culture‑inspired goods, this is the place. They have a great selection of cookbooks, dog toys, stickers, magnets, snacks, kitchen tools, kids' toys, party décor, and so much more. Every corner has something fun and unique to discover. The dog toy section alone is hilarious. One of my pups was gifted the "Treatos" dog toy, a Hot Cheetos-inspired plush, and it's still one of my favorite gifts they've received. This is the perfect spot when you're looking for something colorful, one‑of‑a‑kind, and full of personality. Whether you're shopping for a gift or treating yourself, it's hard to leave empty‑handed.

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 felt very welcomed and was able to browse all I wanted even though my main intention was to go to the nearby dessert place (I had not been in Bankers Hill for years so this was a pleasant surprise). I will make sure I stop by next time and see if there is something I can get for myself or friends. Cute table and chairs outside to enjoy coffee and people passing by as well.

I really liked the potteries in Cancun but it was hard to bring them back. It's so convenient to shop for those here in old town San Diego! The tequila set pottery I chose was so gorgeous! We can't wait to use them to drink tequilas at home! There are restaurants, bars, wine tasting, chocolate tasting and much more besides gift shops. It's easier to spend a couple hours here without even realizing it. We'v always had such fun time here every time we visited! Ps. Public parking across the street, we paid 3 hours for $10.

I'm not sure why With Love's reviews transferred over to Lewis Fay Home, which is the shop that…read moretook over that space when With Love closed down. Lewis Fay Home is...strange. They sell way too many things without specializing in any one thing. For example, they have cards, perfume, lotions, I think I saw sunglasses there once, tchotkokes, and then the other side of the shop seems to be more about cooking stuff. I bought a cool set of glasses there when they first opened up, but every time I go in there, nobody helps me, and I feel like I'm intruding. So I've stopped going in. Anyway, my larger original review is NOT for Lewis Fay Home, it was for With Love, which was a completely different and very wonderful shop.

So many cute items ranging from hair accessories, sunglasses, jewelry, clothes, plants, home decor, dog accessories, etc! I wanted to buy so much stuff including a disco ball planter and some plants but sadly they would not make it on the flight back home so I had to pass. Ended up buying some sunglasses, a hat for my dog, claw clips, and jewelry! I love that the store is organized in sections split by color and style. Staff was so friendly too, I actually bookmarked their website to order more stuff online when I get home LOL!

Service was nice! I think the only downside was the parking. I kind of drove around in circles until I could find a spot. I do think these prices are a bit high but it has to be expected with a shop like this! I purchased a few items that I'll be gifting Two mini pouches $7 each. Planner $14. 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. I wish I had enough room to bring more stuff back. I'd definitely bring people to come and check out the shop!

Souvenir Shop [Old Town San Diego]…read more Before leaving Old Town San Diego we stopped by this souvenir shop. The sign said "Store Closing" like some liquidation sale... that was enough to lure me in the store.

They informed me of the pricing of merch in the front and directed me to more savings on items towards the back of the store. I was able to find something for my co-worker. She loved it!
