While driving through Poway, I couldn't believe my eyes, a HALLMARK store!!! All my favorites have…read moreclosed shop, but here was another one in real life. Of course, I didn't need anything, but I went in regardless. All those beautiful memories came flooding back to me. The beautiful smells, the shiny things we just have to have and the amazing staff that Hallmark is so good at hiring. Suddenly I needed so many things. First the basics, I went through cards and bought up several to have at home. Then some note cards, who doesn't want to write a beautiful hand written note to someone and make their day. Then of course, Tis the Season, I had to look at all the ornaments and giftables (word?) and candy and OMG everything!!! I have already been back in one week's time. I didn't realize how much I missed walking into a Hallmark store, until I went through those magical doors. Holiday items are on sale, (at least the Thanksgiving stuff was), great value to pick up some items now for next years fun. Oh, and to top it off. My phone number was STILL in their system. They are loyal if nothing else.

Great selection of cards and other miscellaneous Christmas items. The staff was friendly.read more

Cute shops, from gift shops to wine boutique related items, to clothing all the stores are adorable…read moreand with affordable prices. There is always a good excuse to visit the stores when at the Rancho Bernardo winery but particularly during the holidays the whole winery including the shops transform into a winter wonderland for Christmas. I love it, super animated and family friendly. There are gifts for all!

The shops here are really cute! They blend nicely with the winery and add to the experience. Some…read morecan be a little on the pricier side but I feel like that's to be expected. One of my favorites is the coffee shop!

Date of visit: December 22, 2022…read more I'd ordered a gift for my lady and had it shipped to this location; whod've seen that I would end up buying $20 of merchandise (and signing up for the Crown Rewards program) for myself while here? I remember when Mira Mesa had an Elam's Hallmark way back in the day - I don't know if this is the same store from my youth, or a different franchise. Be that as it may, there are plenty of gifts, ornaments, and cards to choose from here, with a friendly staff ready to assist you. I don't like how the register is smack dab in the middle, making for some crowded environs inside. And yes, some of the merchandise inside is pricy, but you do get what you pay for. Lucky for my wallet that Elam's Hallmark is a little drive away from me, as my Star Wars, Marvel, and Peanuts-loving self wouldn't be able to resist making a purchase every time I come here!

The staff are always welcoming and eager to help you find what you want. They offer an excellent…read moreselection of gifts and cards. Don't forget to pick up some soft caramels at the register; they're about three for $1. You'll thank me later and probably eat them before you get home!

You will think you are in Provence or anywhere south of France after entering inside Olive & Cork…read more I always think San Diego has a passion for anything French and even in this adorable gift shop you can get your Eiffel tower fix: for $40 you get a metal tower that adorns your dusty corner and brings you a little bit of oh la la. If that is not enough, there are hundreds of other not chess charming useless (or not) items. Enthusiasts of having a salt an pepper shakers with the shape of a cute petit cochon and a mignon poulet...here is your place! You can find the cutest things for your kitchen or that someone nice enough to invite you to her/his place for dinner. Be a nice guest and get something from here! This spacious and luminous store has been occupying prime winery real estate for a few months now and is a nice addendum to the other gift shops. You can get also something of relatively local flavor, such a Ramona olive oil (expensive, but who does not want the extra virgin golden liquid in their table and help the local agriculture?). You can also taste some of the oils they have on sale, all made with local products. My favorite items of all today, other than the Eiffer tower (I just love them!) was a nice poutpourri of dry roses and other exotic flower and greenery with mini terracotta pots in the bag. I will come back to pick it up when I forget that paying $22 for that hurts my pocket! But smells so good and looks even better.

Love the olive oil selection! Our favorites are the garlic and the jalapeno! Ive been shopping…read morethere for the last three years and anytime I go to Bernardo, well, I stop in. Beautiful little place for gifts for the family, and always make a point to visit when I am on the winery grounds. My experience with the staff has always been very professional, not necessarily warm, but I am okay with that, because, well, usually I am "buzzed shopping" straight from the winery! :D

Lovely shop! I came here to look for stationary and was pleasantly surprised of the various…read moreselection. I was able to get a variety of Pokemon and Miffy letter pads. The owner was very sweet and recommended me a couple items. While she did follow me for a moment, she allowed me the rest of the time, to take a moment to look around. She also gave me a basket to help carry all my items! I left with stickers, stamps, envelopes, and an eraser as well. I'll definitely shop here again for gifts!

Cute things central! Haha Fashion is located in the same plaza as Hmart. It's a small shop but…read morefilled to the brim with toys, plushies, blind boxes, tees/clothes, bags, sonny angels, and various other character goods. They have a ton of stuff that you would find in Japan (some exact items I actually saw on my Japan trip last year). Any character you can think of, you can find some merch here. Like Hello Kitty/Sanrio, Snoopy, Miffy, Monchichi, Pokemon, and so much more. The plus side is there are so many choices all in one place. The downside is the prices are very very expensive. A blind box that is normally $25 elsewhere could be $40. So be prepared to spend some money! The 2 ladies who owned the ship were very nice and super attentive.

I do like Native Poppy. Every year I get arrangements for my birthday, Valentine's Day, and…read moreMother's Day. It's just so overpriced. I'm not seeing the value at this point. The selection is limited, the space in South Park is cramped. It feels like the price needs to go down by about 40-50%. My husband spent $350 on an arrangement at NP. I went somewhere else for my mom's flowers, saw an arrangement I LOVED and it was bigger and cost $180. So yeah, I think Naive Poppy and I are parting ways.

My last visit I got their Grapefruit & Mangosteen Scented Goat Milk Lotion. I wear this everyday and since it's made out of goat milk it's perfect for my sensitive skin.
