My nick name for Cost plus is "The Happy Place" - it just makes me happy. I can get lost in here for hours.
If I have a hard time finding a gift for someone, this is where I go, always something for anyone. The last time I was in I found some super cute earrings for my mom for her birthday, great mini fork and knife sets for my cheese plates while entertaining and a lovely bottle of wine for me! They sell individual glassware that I love. All different types of wine glasses, burgundies, whites, snifters, martini, flutes...
The staff is always helpful and knowledgeable. They usually have great sales or deals, but some things can be a bit pricy, I like to gawk at the giant rugs and furniture that are out of my price range.
They have a rewards system as well!
Looking for some eclectic lamps? Interesting wines? Fun throw pillows? Glasses? Snacks? Go to "The Happy Place"!!!!
