Mixed Bag - Sacramento

They offer a fantastic range of quirky items like mugs, magnets, cards, gift-wrapping supplies, notepads, humorous books, knickknacks, kitchenware, children’s toys, and more. I’ve picked up a few delightful things that I didn’t necessarily need but loved sharing with friends for birthdays and special occasions. The location has a large parking lot that is rarely more than half full, which is a big plus in an area where parking can be quite challenging. They're conveniently situated next to a popular barber shop that lacks parking. In fact, the surrounding restaurants, bars, and shops also only offer street parking. The owners are vigilant about maintaining parking for their genuine customers, ensuring there’s space available when needed. That said, please don’t just pop in to buy a couple of dollars' worth of sweets and chat excessively, as that may not be seen as appropriate given the parking signs clearly state that parking is for legitimate customers only. Just a note: I don't have any personal connections to this business, but I truly appreciate the dedication and sacrifices the owners have made over the decades, especially for such a quirky shop.

The restaurant offers beautiful presentations and a variety of intriguing gifts. The family-style ambiance is welcoming from the moment you enter, and it seems to have a bustling atmosphere with plenty of loyal customers. While I didn't need to purchase a gift this time, I plan to pick up some ground coffee and a bag for future occasions. This place is clearly a clever and delightful gift shop!
