Clever marketing!

On a recent trip to the Bay Area we took an Uber trip to Sausalito for some retail therapy and lunch. This little Socks Shop was the first stop on our adventure and we were reluctant to leave we were having so much fun. I love to buy socks, rarely wear them, but they are so much fun to match to friends and give as vacation gifts. My sister in law found a Yoda sock hat she bought as inspiration for her third grade class. I found wine socks, turkey socks, bossy socks, St Patty's socks and Warriors Socks to wear while watching their games for good luck. Magic Socks that I will be putting in family ladies stockings at Christmas. Little 2 inch bundles that you sprinkle with water and they explode, not really, into a regular sized pair of socks. Too cool. Everyone that was in the shop was just having fun, exclaiming gleefully the pair of socks they just found. R2D2, Sharks, bridges, leg warmers (some more risqué than others) I walked out with $100 in socks and don't regret a purchase. I will return next time I'm in the Bay Area and buy even more. Better than an amusement park!

I remember feeling like I had stumbled upon a treasure chest filled with Hello Kitty paraphernalia when a friend introduced me to sockdreams.com. Before that, I used to think socks were pretty boring, but the variety of socks and leggings I found on that site completely changed my mind. The prices combined with the fact that I was a jobless tween held me at bay, and I never indulged my burgeoning sock cravings (yes, I know that sounds weird). Enter my awesome current boss who came back from a trip to Sausalito earlier this year with a pair of Maneki Neko socks for me! I asked her where she found such unique socks, and she told me about this cute little store called SOXALITO. Fast forward to early November, and I find myself planning a bike riding excursion from the SF Ferry Building to Sausalito with my friend for his birthday. When I shared my plans with my boss, she reminded me to check this place out, so I bookmarked it on Yelp. My friend and I made it to Sausalito a little after 2 PM on a Monday. After we locked up our bikes near the ferry building, we grabbed lunch at Copita (another great recommendation by my boss), and then meandered up to Soxalito at 771 Bridgeway. At first glance, I wanted to go ahead and take the whole store with me. My friend talked me down from the ledge, though, and I walked away with 6 pairs of socks (3 of which are in the photo I uploaded for this place). Socksmith Dia De Los Muertos Socks - 7.50 Living Royal Banana Split Socks - 8 AMU Little Bow Socks - 9 (Not Pictured) Socksmith Gnome Socks - 7.50 Stance Hawkins Socks (Men's) - 12 Magic Sock (Dog Print) - 8 ^ The magic socks are up at the front register - just add water to make them grow from a tiny sock shape to regular sized ones! :) I think my parents would disapprove of paying this much for a single pair of socks, and I normally would, too, I suppose... but that just means that these make great gifts! I might not be able to rationalize getting them all for myself, so they're great ways to help the people you care about treat themselves, right? Also, what a way to support a local business! A couple of final notes - 1) Sign Up for the Sock Club!! Buy 10 pairs, get $10 off of your next purchase. Also, they ring a little Safeway cowbell once you sign up - cute! 2) Receipt Notes: No refunds, exchange only within 30 days. If you're in Sausalito, I highly recommend stopping in to at least browse. But don't even think about it if you know that you have poor impulse control. In such instances make sure you can bring a friend or two stronger than you to drag you out before you end up emptying your wallet!

Yeah Warriors Thanks for the awesome Season!! I love all my Soxalito Socks and the owner, Aness is the GREATEST!

Such a cute place with a mind-boggling selection of reasonably-priced socks. Great place to grabbing gifts for the trip home, too.

Dennis, the store owner, was just as kind as everyone says he is, and I was happy we got to chat a bit. Come by right around 11:30 am when his wife delivers her famous pies and baked goods! I didn't have a chance to try any but now that I know, I'll have to make another visit.

On the way in, our guide mentioned Karl as being a great spot for vintage finds. After eating lunch at Scoma's and shopping around the touristy spots, I made the trek back to Karl the Store. After walking in I instantly fell in love with this store and pretty much everything in it. I didn't have a ton of time before my ferry ride back to SF, but I knew I wanted to take something home. I saw that they had the Merz b Schwanen t-shirts (the one's Carmy wears in The Bear), and I've considered trying one, but then I saw this vintage volunteer firefighters jacket with chain stitching on the back. I live in SC and had already bought denim jacket earlier that day so I was in no need for another jacket, but knew I wasn't leaving without it. Before I left, I ended up chatting with the owner, Dennis. He shared some stories with me and we geeked out about vintage jackets for a minute which resulted in him insisting I try on the amazing one he was wearing. Next time I'm back in SF for work, I could see myself taking the ferry over solely to go to this store again, shop around, and chat up Dennis again.

Heath has been in business since the 1940's. They have a dedicated following of customers who appreciate well made, hand crafted ceramic pieces. The tour is one hour, requires advanced reservations and is very informative. We learned about the high quality clays and glazes used. Also the laborious process of crafting the beautiful ceramic pieces they are known for. It takes about 2 weeks to complete an object. The ceramics are high quality and the prices are commensurate with that. ( I have had several of my pieces for over 45 years). We thoroughly enjoyed the tour. All of the staff were friendly, ready to answer questions, and provided terrific service.

Founded in 1948 by visionary ceramicist Edith Heath, the brand is an icon of California modern design. The items here are undeniably expensive, but the timeless design and constantly updating of color palettes make each piece feel special. In 2003, the company was revitalized by husband-and-wife product design and business team, who thoughtfully reinvented the brand. Heath is a great example of how with a good steward, classic design can be successfully revived and made modern. I find Heath to be a good spot for finding special design focused gifts.
