The crocheted toys are made by a friendly older employee. A bunch of the rainbow beaded stuff was made by a former employee who went to college. A great little shop with a ton of kites and toys.

On the day my son and I visited this store they actively had a mask mandate sign posted on their door. As soon as my son and I walked into the giftshop, we saw one lady paying for a handful of items at the cashier counter wearing no mask and a second lady was in store browsing shopping with no mask at all either. The cashier immediately yells to my son and I as we enter, Masks Please! The items I purchased WITH A MASK ON were okay quality. Their selection for sweat shirts and t-shirts were limited in sizes available in stock. The quality in coloring on the fabric of the T-Shirts purchased looked a bit dull and really faded after the first wash. The coloring of the garments I purchased were not as vibrant for my liking in what I would expect for a new clothing item, but supporting small businesses is vital especially as our economy recovers from COVID. The pricing was overall okay and not over priced for the subpar quality of the products I saw available. This is an okay gift shop in Capitola for lower quality, simple budget friendly souvenirs. Other than the TERRIBLE Customer Service Experience (This is why I only gave 1 star) where clearly I witnessed 2 patrons in the store given the privilege and given a pass by the cashier to NOT HAVE TO COMPLY WITH THEIR OWN MASK POLICY while in the store. This business gets absolutely a ZERO rating for its customer service standards on not treating all customers equally based on my personal experience shopping here. The overall shopping experience in a nutshell here was subpar to maybe a okay rating. Its product quality, limited value in products available, and shortage of selection in products to purchase along with terrible customer service makes this gift shop have a lot of room for business practice improvements to better serve their customers in the future.

There was a lovely blue haired girl there who helped me find a shirt and also showed me some beautiful locally made jewelry. Overall a great experience.

Always fun.

Great store! Found a relic from my past here and passed it on to the next generation.

Polite on the phone. Store keeper went searching in store for desired item and held it for me when arrived. Was treated warmly and taken care of promptly. Thank you! The beemo was for a summer camp activity and it worked like expected.

Friendly and very helpful! I was looking for a specific type of kite and not only did she have one in stock, but she was willing to make accommodations so that I could have it in hand same day. A clean and well organized store in a beautiful location.Go buy a kite and be flying it within minutes!

Love this store! I have been coming here since I was little and now I get to take my kids. Great place for stickers and kites.

This is the best place to get a kite in the area. The shop carries a large variety of kites, including trick kites. Cute shop with gifts, kites, and beach-going supplies. The shop keeper was kind and helpful. We bought our kite and were flying it within minutes at Capitola Beach.

This place is pure fun! A Capitola treasure!

Dog friendly, nice place.

Best gift store ever

Old skool cool.
