There is a ton of unique Snoopy and Peanuts merch that I have never seen anywhere else. And surprisingly, it was not super over priced. In fact, there are several sale racks that had amazing deals on shirts and pajamas. A lot of the holiday merch was also on sale. The staff is great. You can tell they are all super Peanut fans. Don't miss the upstairs area. There is no merch up there, but there are a bunch of things to look at, including a lego replica of the ice rink. The stain glass snoopy windows...just so much. We actually went to this gift shop twice on our trip. Did most of the shopping damage when we went to the museum and then the day we were flying home, we went again first thing in the morning for all those..."I decided I need it" items. The front of the store is also the Ice Rinks pro shop, so if you are looking for ice skating gear, they have that too.

This is a wonderful old, local store, one of a dying breed of similar places which used to be…read morecommon in downtowns but are now sadly mostly long gone. Santa Rosa is fortunate to have a place like this still. It's a mixture of nice stationary store selling a huge range of pens (and refills), pencils, stationary, cards, etc., plus nice homewares like good crystal and china, along with games, puzzles,and art. They sell a number of locally made or themed items, too, such as art and crafts by local artists, puzzles with local images or themes from the area, and more. It's also a great place to get Christmas decor at Christmas time, for during the Christmas season they sell a nice range of ornaments and nutcrackers, including high-quality German-made nutcrackers and wooden ornaments, ones instead of just the more common lower-grade things one can find anywhere.

I stopped in to hunt for a Valentine's Day gift and was immediately met with a bewildering number of choices. It's the kind of place where you go in for one thing and end up contemplating an entire lifestyle upgrade. Their selection of greeting cards is easily the best in the area--actually witty, high-quality stuff that doesn't feel like a grocery store afterthought. What really makes this spot a gem is their support for the community. I managed to score a fantastic Valentine's piece from a local artisan, which beats a generic box of chocolates any day. Whether you're looking for fine crystal, unique jewelry, or quirky home decor, the variety is genuinely impressive. The service was top-notch--helpful without hovering--and you can't beat the ideal location right in the heart of downtown. It's a local institution for a reason.

While doing my holiday shopping, I wanted to be mindful of the products I purchased this year and intentional in my gift giving. I also wanted to support other local small businesses. The Store Next Door has products that are mainly made in The North Bay area and all of the products are made by small businesses across the United States. I loved knowing that I am supporting small businesses that have been hit hard by Covid and our current economy. They have all kinds of unique gifts such as food and beverages, jewelry, bath and body products, totes, charcuterie boards and cutting boards, items for your home, great gifts for kids, and so much more! Whether you are getting a gift for yourself to treat yourself or giving a gift to a loved one, this place is a great place to shop. It has lots of items if you are looking for a birthday gift, a gift for a child, a house warming gift, and so much more! I will definitely be coming back to this store!

To make matters more complicated, the basket was meant for a group in an office setting, and while the shop offered gourmet baskets with locally sourced items, they didn't have quite the right mix of items on hand for that kind of crowd. But instead of turning us away, they stepped in with creativity, flexibility, and genuine kindness. We brought in items we thought would work, including some company promotional items, and they beautifully arranged everything into three polished, professional gift bins that looked like they had been planned weeks in advance. They truly saved the day. Their willingness to help, attention to detail, and can-do attitude made all the difference. It's rare to find a business so committed to making things work for their customers. We're incredibly grateful and we'll absolutely be back. Thank you for going above and beyond!

I came in during the See's annual discount celebration for the company's namesake, Mary See. 20% off a custom selection box. Great deal. Weird greeting upon entry from one of the women associates started the visit off awkwardly. Undertone of irritation & what felt like insincere friendliness, opening with a curt "How can I help you" barely inside the door. Tone with this was everything. Idk, maybe the employee was having a bad day, wanting to get off duty...who knows? Or maybe the greeter didn't think I matched a profile of a typical See's customer? Hmm. I was surprised to read a few similar reviews of the store in this regard and wondered if customers were all referring to the same employee? Service was rendered however, including the customary offering of free samples before & after the sale. Store is located in a busy & tight-quartered strip mall next to a Starbuck's & adjacent to a Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market. Lot is not the super easiest to navigate into and out of by car with all the competing customers from other businesses. I probably wouldn't have any qualms on returning to this store if & when in the area again. But might try to get help from a different associate.

Mmmm, good ice cream! The chocolate was dense and slightly grainy. A rich flavor, but not too sweet. The coconut ice cream tasted just like fresh coconut. It had shredded coconut in the mix, and it blended well with the creamy ice cream. I took my ice cream to go, but they have tables inside. Very nice place, I will be back.
