| - I love this store- been a fan for many many years (originating, from living in the Bay Area). I was thrilled when the store came to LV.
We usually frequent the Blue Diamond location, but we visited here on sunday, because I had to get the cute blue clutch for myself @ $14.99 (the last one at the BD store was damaged, was offered 10% off, but I really wanted an intact one)- there was a 30% friends and family promo going on (*scan the coupon from your cell phone*).
Freebie taste: the coffee sampling station is in the front of the store, near the registers. We always look at the food (towards the back middle), the tea and international section (asian foods). Sometimes, there are markdowns on certain items. Our boy loves to look at the toys. (He also tests the chairs and other furniture, too). I also like looking at the kitchen section in the front left of the store- I don't need anything but I look anyway. (fyi: Giving directions, I'm assuming that you are entering the store.)
I browsed the clothing section too. I tried on some hats. I like that the mirror is closeby. Nearby, inside baskets, there were some really cute knobs (translucent aqua, ceramic blue and white, etc.) that you could customize your furniture- so cute, I took a quick look. I mention this because if you don't want a cookie-cutter look, here's your answer. (I didn't ask hubby's opinion because I bet he would say that they look a bit feminine.)
There is also wine and spirits (a large selection), rugs, wall prints, greeting cards, personal goods (lotions), lamps, desks, baskets for the home, gifts, and gift-related items (bags, tissue, raffia, etc.).
I also like to look at the furniture- middle and right middle, dining/chairs is situated near the left wall, middle of the store (love a lot of the furniture here- it's very appealing), but this time, we checked out the patio furniture in detail, as we have been searching (checked Home Depot, Lowe's, Target, Wal-mart, IKEA, Mrs. Patio, as well as online on Amazon and Wayfair) for a pretty bistro set for our patio (our current one was too bulky and little by little, we've been getting smaller-space items; you see, last Spring, we moved from our single home to a condominium- it's a major change, but it was a good change, for our family).
We found a round mosaic tile bistro table (Cadiz), after the discount, priced at $100 with hairpin steel chairs (the regular price of each chair was $59); the set was roughly around the $200, not including tax. There were other chairs but I didn't like the rounded style of those ones, created bulk & limiting (hubby said so). We passed on the cushions as they were $29.99 each.
All the sales clerks were nice and helpful. The store is clean. Everything is well-stocked, but not overly, so, making it uncomfortable to shop (ie. hangers super tight). There was enough clothing on the racks, as well as bags and purses. The bathroom was clean. There were other customers, but it wasn't crowded, it was steady. I'm glad we stopped here.
This store would be on my list to run up the credit card bills, if we had to start from scratch or won the lottery- either way, I agree with Larissa K. I agree with Colleen B, that this is a good store for gifts, you could really make a unique gift basket for someone special, like, Mother's Day is coming up. I could go on and on, but I'll finish it here.
