I wish I prepared my Christmas/Birthday list beforehand. I was really happy with the deals at baby/toddler clothing stores like Gymboree, Carters, and The Children's Place while Coach offered a 50% off coupon at the door which made deals better on handbags, wallets, wristlets, totes, etc. than any I could find online including ebay.
There's pretty ample parking and during the hot summer months, refreshing water sprays along the walkways. For dining, there's a dependable California Pizza Kitchen which serves alcohol and other choices.
