What an incredible delivery experience! My sweet aunt just finished chemo and I wanted to send her…read moresomething special to celebrate. I ordered online and went with "Designer's Choice" and wow, I could not be happier that I did. My aunt called me absolutely overjoyed by her surprise! The delivery person noticed her sign asking not to knock or ring the doorbell (she has a reactive pup) and instead sent her a text and waited patiently for her to come outside. Then took the time to congratulate her on finishing chemo. That kind of thoughtfulness is so rare and it genuinely meant so much. And the bouquet? Mind blowing. My aunt said it is the most beautiful arrangement she has ever received in her entire life and that the photos do not even come close to doing it justice. Her whole house smells amazing. Thank you Renae's Bouquets for making my auntie's day truly unforgettable!

Parking can be less than ideal in Solvang, but if you're lucky enough to catch street parking as you enter the city, jump on that, too. REVIEW: I was only recently a first-timer to La Gioconda! It is a very cute shop that has many items to catch your eye. In my opinion, this is more a gift shop than a souvenir store; meaning the items are a level above what you might find in other shops deeper into Solvang. I like this store as it's more of an open floor plan, not as cramped as I've seen in others. It's got great lighting from the windows that face the road. In reading the other reviews, I see that the owner is a cat-lover like me! We sh/could have talked for hours. :) I didn't leave with any gifts on this visit, but I will be finding some on my next visit. This shop has thoughtful gifts; I really like that. I absolutely do recommend La Gioconda and can't wait for my next trip to Solvang, which will include another visit here and an updated review. Thanks!

This cute little shop is always buzzing with the creation of their many specialty gift baskets. And always chock full of all types of made-in-Santa-Barbara items to make each gift basket even more special. I always find something new whenever I stop in. With their location right in the heart of Old Town Goleta, and plenty of parking all around them, their staff is always helpful in making sure each gift basket is special. Thank you to Coruna for helping make some serious gift basket decisions today. With this being the busy Christmas season, their wait time for specialty gift baskets can be up to a week . . . so plenty of time right now. They also have some pre-made gift baskets ready to go, which is always appreciated.

Oil's Well That Ends Well…read more Locally owned and grown olive oil company that saw its humble beginnings over 25 years ago (1996) when the founder, Theodora Stephan, planted her first olive trees in nearby Santa Barbara--with her first harvest in '98! Fast forward to today, and they've grown from a roadside farm stand to having won multiple award for their EVOO, as well as having two boutique stores, this one and one in Solvang, to go along with a mass production facility in nearby Buellton. The Good: *Friendly, no pressure customer service *They have monthly olive oil and balsamic vinegar clubs *Over 40 food products to choose from, including their award-winning EVOOs, balsamic vinegars, mustards, spices, sauces, and more. *All EVOOs are organically grown *Lotions, bath salts, and other skin care products *EVOO tastings The Meh: *Store is a bit on the smallish side and cramped for an ogre, such as myself. The Ugly: *A lot of prices are not displayed/not marked on the products. I know, I know if you have to ask... But, anywho, that's one of my pet peeves about places like this. It's not difficult to just make things clear. TLDR: Cute little store in a charming town. If you love EVOO like I do, then definitely check them out.

The paper we were given by the Landsby said "no reservations required". As soon as we walked in, the sales associate was very rude and asked if we had a reservation.

We said it was fine and patiently waited. The olive oils and vinegars themselves were tasty, but we will definitely not be coming back here due to not feeling welcome and not friendly service.
