Looking for a great spot to pick up a gift for anyone on your list, or pick up something fun for yourself? Strapping is the perfect spot! We stop into Strapping often and love seeing the changing stock of fun items. They stock seasonal items, along with a variety of cute, quirky, edgy, and fun items. Truly a little something for everyone. I personally love the home goods and have picked up a variety of items like candles, spoon rests, flower pots, and more. They have a lot of Sacramento items as well and even have items for different neighborhoods. Some of these are items from their team, and some are sourced from local vendors. There's a good mix of local business items, small business items, and popular items that make this a much different experience than other gift shops. Keep an eye on their social media for new item stocks, special events, and pop ups. You could stop by weekly and find new items to fall in love with. read more

What a cute little novelty shop! They've got tons of unique items that are perfect if you're in the mood to browse or pick up a fun gift. If you're in the area, definitely pop in.... it's worth a look. The store was super clean with a welcoming vibe. The employee working was really nice and helpful without being pushy, which I always appreciate. I ended up leaving with a couple of cute little gifts for my mom and boyfriend, and the prices were totally reasonable. I'll definitely be coming back as the holidays get closer. I saw a bunch of things that would make great stocking stuffers or even some hilarious white elephant gifts. Love finding spots like this :) read more

Such a fun gift shop! I visited on a whim, looking for some jellycats. I should've known that they sell out fast, so of course they didn't have any in stock when I came in. The owner was very nice and informed me on the next time they were restocking with the Halloween editions. Nonetheless, this shop had the coolest items. Of course, I wasn't leaving without grabbing some pictures of my king and queen on these candles. Recommending to anyone who's either a local or visiting Sacramento for the first time. They're also located in a strip with some great cafes and restaurants as well, which is a plus! read more

Okay super adorable store first of all! I loved everything in it! My friend originally took me to get birthday cards for a mutual friend. I ended up with 6 cards, a pair of sunglasses, and a mini crochet kit!? So cute. I would recommend this store to anyone looking for gifts for anyone really. Such a great variety of items like mugs, socks, and even toys for kids! I will definitely be going back! Service was top tier and so was the value of my many items! read more

This is a true gem! What a great selection of fun gifts. I laughed out loud at so many things. I kept adding items to buy while other items were being gift-wrapped in adorable holiday paper. Prices were fair and the owners are wonderful. The owners care about their community, too. They've converted part of their store into a volunteer-based food bank to help people out during the government shutdown. read more

Fantastic selection of gifts - I stopped by to shop local for some holiday gifts and this is the place! So many options from Baggu to fun socks to coffee mugs and pet supplies! I purchased two games that I hadn't seen before - great customer service and vibes in here. Let's keep supporting local gems like this one! read more

Strapping is one of my favorite gift shops in Sacramento! The vibes are literally immaculate and staff are so welcoming and inviting. There are many items to choose from for yourself or for friends/family/colleagues. There's a gift for almost every occasion and the prices are definitely reasonable compared to other shops that I have gone to. I've been to all of their locations but the one on Broadway is definitely my go to. Bonus points because they also have the cutest shop dog which makes my shopping experience (and day) way better! read more

How in the world have I not reviewed the Broadway Strapping location yet? My wife and I just made our annual pilgrimage for holiday shopping and white elephant (work) gifts and the store didn't disappoint!! We always find something quirky. Of course, Strapping offers very nice gifts. Candles. Pillows. Plush and pretty.... But I feel like the main reason everyone shops here is a toss up.... Is it for the witty, gag gifts?? Or is it because the shop owner, Susan, is an absolute hoot and very approachable! She's definitely the 'face' of the store and I'm just disappointed that this year (2024) I didn't have her pose for a holiday selfie with me! Ahh, well. Tis the season. Happy Shopping, and go support small local biz by visiting today! read more

Best ever jewel of a gift shop! I can find a gift for anyone any budget. Love all the community work they are involved with.

I'm such a fan! First time at this location and it didn't disappoint. I needed a graduation card at the last minute because the one I ordered from Etsy weeks and weeks ago still hasn't arrived. Staff here were as friendly as at all if the locations! Super helpful too. If you want fun, on-point gifts that reflect your diverse personality, them get on over! read more

Strapping is a Sacramento fixture that I hope is here to stay for years to come. I can always find unique gifts for birthdays, or house warming gifts, etc. Their pricing is fair, and they rotate out seasonal products as well. Their staff is the friendliest, and are strong supporters of the Sacramento community and other small businesses around town. read more

The most fun gift shop in Sacramento! They have a fun selection of gifts for all ages, hobbies, and interests. This gift shop is cool place to find fun, quirky, trendy, and amusing gifts. They have an online store and other locations, as well as an ice cream shop across the street "Licked" owned by the same owner! Shop local! read more

So I've been here twice. Once at the oak park and once in mid town. They have the best stuff, they are super kind and they truly just want people to come enjoy the energy, you can feel the good vibes before you even get into the store. It's a store where no matter who you are, you feel like you are wanted there. It's important to support small businesses in general because Amazon has literally taken over and there's still people out here who actually like to hand pick gifts for others. But this store beats anywhere because of the vibes and what they offer. Don't miss out. Keep shining Strapping. -KC read more

It's a cute shop right on Broadway. I did some Christmas shopping there and plan to check it out periodically.

Recently went with some friends to search for a birthday gift. If I had endless funds and all day, it still wouldn't be enough to do this store justice. They've got a little something for everyone and I genuinely have never had so much fun picking through their offerings. Staff are super friendly and add to the store experience immensely - I felt welcomed and valued inside despite being there right up until closing. Items are a little on the pricier side, but the curated selection and vibes more than make up for it. I'll be back! read more

The owners are kind and committed to the neighborhood. The selection that the store offers is hilarious and varied; they introduce great humor that a person can bring home. They also stock very functional items that can help with work. We have become regulars because they are kind and because they have a good selection. read more

Susan is amazing and runs a great business. My son and I stopped in yesterday to buy some gifts and enjoyed not only shopping but the friendly conversation. Both Susan and Darcy work extremely hard to run a small business and give 110% back to the local community. I'd rather wait a few extra minutes to shop local and at Strapping than go to a big box store where no one cares if I'm there. Check out this adorable store: they certainly have something for everyone (their Lego/kids table was a HIT with my son!! It kept him occupied so I could shop) I'll definitely be back time and time again! read more

This is one of my favorite local shops in Sacramento! The owner and staff are always so friendly, helpful, and genuinely welcoming. It's the perfect place to find unique gifts for any occasion or adorable home decor. I always enjoy stopping by. Such a great little gem! read more

I stopped by Sunday morning 10/26 and I was early, walked down to the plant foundry store, eventually making my way back to the gift store. I got there 2 mins early prior to open, waited, it was 1001, still nothing. Their dog was by the door barking, so it was evident they were there or someone and nobody was opening. I don't care if you're a small business, be mindful of your own operational hours period. I left because I had already been waiting to support their store and they want to make customers wait longer, no thanks! STOP TROLLING MY REVIEW, I will not tolerate and will report after sending you a message for thinking it's okay to come for someone who is leaving a review for THEIR experience. If the owner was doing other things signage with a BRB return time would have been nice, there are no excuses. read more

I love coming to Strapping for gifts and (my favorite) stickers for my water bottle and/or car!

We love this store. The owner is always so kind and my daughter loves to go and push the kids size shopping carts around.

The products are totally unique, fun, and appropriately priced. There service is amazing. Super friendly proprietors!! I love this store and shop here regularly. read more

Strapping is one of Sacramento's gems. Fantastic store with fun, hilarious items to brighten your day as well as the lucky individual who you are buying gifts for. This store brings a smile to all who walk through the door. Susan, the owner, is the kindest most down to earth human around. Go say hi! Shop small. Shop local. Shop Strapping! read more

Upon walking in, we were greeted with a fantastic and warm hello. This was our first time at this location, since the midtown location was closed, and it did not disappoint. We came to find a few birthday selections for some close friends, and there were a plethora of iconic and charming items for such a good price! Strapping has always been my go-to spot for memorable items, and that won't change any time soon! read more

I have been coming to Strapping since they opened years ago. Susan and the Strapping crew have been nothing but kind, genuine, funny, and helpful every time I've gone. They have great products and I've found so many wonderful gifts for people over the years. They always bring new products in, make products in store, and are truly one of the best shops in town. In addition to being a great store, they incorporate, help, and stand up for their community in various ways. I have seen them do this time and time again. They listen to their community and try to respond in helpful ways. They've been targeted for several reasons over the years, and have even had their store attacked and damaged. Despite all of this they have survived and fought to keep their business afloat. They've survived because of the great shopping experience they provide both with product and personalized service, and also because they are so dedicated to their community. Let's keep Sacramento great by supporting this amazing small business! read more

The quintessential place to buy fun, quirky, useful gifts for everyone in your life! This location has a ton of room and products. And it's not just gag gifts - we've gotten smaller furniture pieces and décor that we have loved! It's a must-stop whenever we have visitors in town, too. read more

Strapping is a wonderful store, cute items, great workers, and an owner that cares about the community! What's not to love! :)

This is my favorite gift shop to stop in when looking for someone specific or when I'm bored and want to buy myself something fun! They truly have something for everyone. I've always had great interactions with staff, and they always know where the specific thing you might be looking for is. I love that they stock local creators as well (handmade jewelry, Sacramento items made by sac businesses, etc.) The owner makes a point to support community, supports other nearby small businesses, and updates socials for new items and important shop updates so customers know what's up! :) read more

Awesome place! Everything inside is super cute and on trend. Hipster vibes all the way. The owner introduced herself and she's super nice. Glad I finally got to meet her and check out her store. I'd say this is the perfect place to come to find pretty much anyone cool a gift. Like if you don't know what someone wants come here and you'll definitely find something. The store is bright and cheerful the kind of place that just feels good to hang out it and play with all the fun stuff. read more

This store is a Sacramento gem! We are so lucky to have such an inclusive, fun, and community-rooted business like Strapping here. The staff is friendly and there is something for everyone at this store. A perfect place to find gifts! read more

Love this shop and the owner. Cute selection of trinkets and gifts. A Sacramento classic

Strapping is definitely the go to place in Sacramento for picking up gifts and a little something for yourself too! They are a treasured place for multiple communities read more

Absolutely love shopping here for fun gifts! They have new items all the time. I like finding fun, unique and sarcastic gifts - this place is so perfect. Shop local peeps! read more

Woah, I've been to a fair share of souvenir/general gift shops (most of them in out-of-state major cities) and I must say that this one is very well done! Lots of things to see here but the main highlight is the large variety of California/Sacramento-centric knick-knacks that actually don't look dated at all. Made me feel like a happy tourist here and I live only like 15 minutes away! Lol. With it currently being December there are seasonal items, some sticking with the local-area theme. Staff are very friendly and sociable. Doggies much welcomed here (saw staff giving a treat to one!). Definitely stop by especially if you're in a pickle on what to gift for the holidays! read more

Let me just start off by saying, this place is one of my all time favorite stores to shop at. This is my go to for any type of gift that I need for birthdays or holidays. Their selection here is so amazing and not to toot my own horn, but I've gotten so many people on the Strapping band wagon (it's pretty dang easy because the stores are so great). Their products and variety is too awesome to not want to shop here. ~ During the pandemic, I worked next door to their Broadway location and would go shop after I was off. They were always the sweetest people and we would have such great conversations. They even would give us (the neighbor employees) a discount on our purchases. Ever since then, I've been hooked lol. Recently, my wife and I were out at Target when I see a familiar face walk up and tell me that I have a beautiful baby. I immediately recognized them as the owners of Strapping and was so excited to let them know how much we absolutely love their stores and showed that my son was using a pacifier clip (shown in picture) we had bought from there, which they had recognized as well! It's truly amazing how much effort they put into their community. They did not have to go out of their way to come up and talk to us. They also did not have to give us a discount on our purchases just for being a neighboring business during a pandemic (which, let's be real- was really hard on small businesses). Their products are of great quality and not to mention they have a ton of LGBTQIA+ merchandise! They have such an amazing team of kind human beings that care about what they put out into their community. This is one of the best stores in Sacramento and I will forever support them. read more
