The Most Delectable Gift Shops in Bakersfield

The Lantern

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"I love this place! It's like a little wonderland full of magic and warmth. Everything is carefully curated by the lovely Amber, who is sure to make your day if you stop by. Not only has she filled the store with tons of amazing art, but she also cares about representing those artists and giving them a space to thrive. Be sure to visit if you're in the neighborhood, or, why not, make the drive to Springville to make new friends and get yourself something special you couldn't find elsewhere!"

Lancaster Florist

★★★★☆ 3.9 (74) • $$

"Beautiful thank you for such amazing service. I will 100% refer my friends you. Love love love!! This place"

See's Candies

★★★★★ 4.7 (7)

"I went to Sees Candies on California on Christmas Eve. I picked two stock pre packaged boxes of candy. One was 1lb and the other was a 2 lb box off the shelf. I then purchased another 2 lb box of candies I picked out from the display. There was never more than 3 people in the shop while I was there. One of the customers that was checking out was all smiley and polite and asked how much was a single piece of candy and the older woman that was at the register just kind of danced around the question. Eventually the patron was asked what she wanted, and the smile was gone. She said never mind and departed the store with her purchase. I thought that was odd. I make it to the register and the bill is $150. The same checker after all of the transaction is complete and my items are bagged and in my hand says, would you like a piece of candy. It seemed painful for her to ask, but I said sure, I like that kind right there. Without a word she slowly turns to another employee and orders her lunch. She then leaves the counter area and walks back and forth a couple of times until she finds some latex gloves. She then starts to put her gloves on like she is ready to perform surgery. Somewhere between the first glove and the second glove I left. Now I think I know why the customer in front of me came in smiling and left without a smile. Kinda ticked me off too. Why? I don't know. Look I thing Sees has the best candy, I love it and recommend it for people that like that sort of thing, but this is twice in two years that the service aggravated me. I guess me bad."

AV Gift Shop

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"This is a cute gift shop offering a variety of novelties to jewelry to clothing and accessories. The assortment of kids toys for both boys and girls are amazing. This place has so many hello kitty items from bags to pens and other stationary items. The gifts are at a great price and worth it. The owners of the shop are kind and provide great customer service. If you are in the area looking for a gift for a friend or love one, suggest you stop by and see what you will find."

Simply Perfect

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"I have brought a few friend to this store to show them the wonderful items they offer. The store is Simply Perfect just like the name. The cutest outfits for babies made with organic material. Pricy, but just to cute. I always pick at least one for my granddaughter. If you haven't stopped by you are missing out. Guaranteed to love it."

Majesty Bible & Gifts

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"I went to the shopping center the other day and I had heard about this from someone but had forgotten where this was. So I happened to see it and so I decided to stop in to see the bible selections because I needed a new one. I arrived just right before the store opened at 10 a.m. I was so happy to find this place the staff are super friendly and were happy to see myself along with three others waiting to go in. Its a nice size store great location, and its beautifully set up. There are gifts and t-shirts and books and everything you could want. I know this will be a happy place for me to shop. I looked all around and decided with help from Darellyn on a bible, and on another item. I had almost missed the bible I purchased but she was helpful and I got the perfect one for me. There is inspirational music playing while you shop and I'm so happy to have found this place, I've already told a few about it. I plan to return soon as I spotted a few other things that I must have. So if you are looking for a place to get inspirational gifts, bibles, books we now have a place. One more thing, after your purchase you receive a blessing card. This is a punch card and after each purchase it gets marked off. There are special offers you receive and the staff will explain all that to you."

Tuttle’s Emporium

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Pleasant store in Circle Park shopping -- small town ambience, friendly owner and clerks. Loads of gift items,a photo kiosk for printing pics and even a UPS Drop-off. They held a gathering to make Gingerbread houses the other evening. Mine turned out ok given I've never made one before. Good times."

Lah-De-Dah

★★★★★ 4.7 (3)

"Really cute place. A combo of antique store w lots of stuff plus a fabric store. A mom and daughter there running it when I went in. My husband was worried when I came back with a bag but when I said was only $9 he was happy!! Best find was a vintage pink panther plush for my friend whose nickname is pink panther as she has pink hair. A fun place and like supporting small businesses"

Merryman Station

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12)

"I am writing this review from the perspective of being at an event here (it was not my event). The venue is great and the food was good. More than anything, the service was great. I cannot say enough good things about the people who work here who served the guests."

Rose Petals and Rust

★★★★★ 5 (4) • $$

"This is going to be my new favorite store as well! I went in on the tip of my fellow yelper and boy was she right. There is soooo much to see when you look around. This is not like other antique stores that are sometimes too cluttered or disheveled. Au contraire, it is so neat and organized with excellent prices and everything is in good condition. The ladies in there were super friendly as well, even talking to my dad that looked a little lost while he waited for me. I picked up a few things for myself and they packaged them beautifully with ribbon and a fresh pine needle. They take all cards except AmEx. I just got back and I am literally about to go back with my mom. Hope to see you there!"

The Hermit House

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"The Hermit House is a gem located in beautiful Pine Mountain Club, CA and just a stone's throw from the fabulous Bigfoot Café (coffee bar, fresh food made by an in-house chef, gifts and books) where I had been before checking out the Hermit House for the first time. I will definitely be going back to discover more of the treasures awaiting me... Leave yourself plenty of time to peruse all this cornucopia has to offer. Oh, and the service is wonderful too."

Furnace Creek General Store

★★★★☆ 3.5 (27) • $$$$

"Super convenient and clean General Market! You can almost find everything, except for borax! Staff are friendly and helpful. It's not so crowded in January but it's jammed packed when there was no power and all the restaurants nearby closed up. Make sure you pack some food for your trip when you are in the desert!"

Rancho Raviri Almonds & Gifts

★★★★★ 5 (13) • $$

"Oh my goodness I love this place. The owners are always friendly and greet you with a smile. My intentions are always to just look but that's not the case I always end up buying something. They have a little shop inside the store. They have great decorating item for your home and at a reasonable price. I always support small business shops like this one. This is a must stop when you are in Quartz Hill. The only down fall small parking lot but don't let that stop you from shopping at Rancho Raviri."

Bargain Cigarette One

"I absolutely adore the women that work here! They are so friendly & happy to answer any questions you may have.

Expressions by Hopp

★★★★☆ 3.5 (2)

"Cute but corny gift shop. Sometimes you'll find a gem but you have to look really hard. Very friendly service, though. Also, if you didn't get the memo that Beanie Babies are not a good investment strategy for college, this is the place for you."

Pimentel Delights

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I have ordered from them a few times. I cant say enough about the qualify of these cookies. They taste great! The owners always come up with cute and trendy ideas. They delivered to me and made my celebration so much easier."

Something Sweeter

★★★★☆ 4.3 (25)

"When you are in the mood for a summer treat in the KRV, head to Kernville's little fro-yo shop. Creamy and delicious flavors, wonderful service and several toppings available. They often have cookies and other baked goods, too. From there it's an easy stroll to Riverside Park to watch the water flow by from a shady bench."

Ireland's Nursery and Gift Shoppe

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"Charming, pleasant and delightful small shop had everything I needed for my new garden. Inside is filled with pretty pots and houseplants, and outside has a nice selection of various well-tended plants for landscaping, flower beds or even a vegetable garden. Far from feeling lost in some warehouse big box chain garden center, here I found just the right plants, not more nor less. Being a novice, I was grateful for the helpful answers to my questions. I needed four different color flowers for my 1/2 barrel containers. Do you have these? Yes, we have some on your list and some very similar. Will these plants thrive in this tough climate? Yes, they fit this hardiness zone for both frost and heat. Are they perennial? Yes, they will come back well each year. 15 minutes later, they're in the ground, looking good and I'm feeling much more confident that I can do this!"

Toboco Traders

★★★★☆ 4.3 (4)

"I noticed that this is listed under a Tobacco shop, with it isn't. It is a gift shop with very cool items!"

CA Swan Art Studios

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Classes here were excellent. The teacher was on point and took extra time to make sure our pieces turned out well. One person didn't listen and her piece didn't turn out as well. My advice is to listen to what Cynthia tells you."

Rocket Fizz

★★★★★ 4.6 (22)

"This is a great store for children and their parents. It's close to Edwards Cinema so the kids can go buy the candies they want. I took my grandzon and he found hands and feet and pickle hands. Lots of Astro bomb pops and candy bars and novelty candy plus bins of bulk candy. They have all kinds of soda pop in new and different flavors. I should have picked up a apple pie drink as I can't stop thinking about it. Do yourself a favor and go here and find some crazy good candy and drinks. They are very friendly and helpful also."

Stovepipe Wells General Store & The Nugget Gift Shop

★★★★☆ 3.7 (29) • $$

"The only shop for many miles: Death Valley National Park We've been through here a few times driving to/from Las Vegas (twice in 2011). It is located in the Stovepipe Wells Village across cottage motels, restaurant, and a saloon. The country store is also a souvenir shop offering some unique items and novelty gifts. They also have a wide range of snacks, drinks and sandwiches for a quick bite. During COVID-19 times you may find yourself waiting in line to get inside the store as they limit the number of people inside for social distancing. It can get busy but the cashiers are fast getting you in and out and on your merry way. We stopped here a couple of times during our recent visit to Death Valley... Outside the store you'll see some historic wagons and some authentic western stuff. There are benches on the side of the store and some rocking chairs in front. The whole area is busy with tourists which only means parking can be challenging during their busy season. The parking area is huge, though. There are restrooms on location and a gas station adjacent to the store (super expensive), ranger station, and also a tent and RV campground on site. Stovepipe Wells has an elevation of 10-ft above sea level. Happy trails...Review #2127"

Pacific Treasures & Gourmet

★★★★☆ 4 (27) • $$$

"Pacific Treasures & Gourmet is a great store in the heart of Visalia's beautiful Main Street. This place is chocked full of premium kitchenware, gadgets and many other household items will give any high end chain store in any larger city a run for its money. I stopped in a few weeks ago after having lunch on Main Street and was happy to see a store of such quality. Prices are so-so. The service, however, did not match the caliber of the store with not so much as a thank you when receiving my change because the clerk was preoccupied with another employee. Said clerk was so preoccupied that she also forgot to charge me for a candle, then proceeded to make excuses when I went back to pay for it over an hour later after realizing that I wasn't charged. Get it together, lady. I'll be nice and only subtract one star for the clerk with bad customer service skills."

Exeter Mural Gallery

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Perfect place to pick up a gift for anyone. Lots of local artists paintings and other gift items. can't wait to go back to see what's new."

Tehachapi Valley Arts Association

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"We love this co-op of all local crafts and artisans. Now that I know they also pay it forward by giving back by supplying the display elementary schools with art supplies makes our purchases even better!"

House of Flowers

★★★★★ 4.6 (141) • $$

"Had the pleasure of using House of Flowers service recently. They were able to assist me on such short notice. I called them on a Saturday morning right when they opened. I asked them if they could make a corsage that I would need that evening for a special birthday celebration.The young lady who answered my call was very polite and helpful. She informed me that they could make the corsage, and it would be ready for pickup by 1:30pm. Good to their word, it was ready just as she said it would be. My wife liked it, and the corsage also was a hit at the prom themed birthday party.Thank you House of Flowers for coming through for us on such short notice! I am a fan!!"

Burlap Poppy

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"I read something about Burlap Poppy and I needed to know more. Since I don't have social media I had a tough time reaching the owner. I went to a Christmas bazaar and who was there but the amazing Cherrae'. I was beyond excited to meet her and to see some awesome custom clothes she had displayed. I ordered some Christmas gifts and it was a great experience. The owner is on top of it, kept in contact until clothes were delivered to me. They are going to be a hit for Xmas. I will definitely order more in the future. There isn't a brick and mortar store. So the best way to know where Burlap Poppy will be next is to follow on Facebook.Here is an email to reach the [email protected] will post pictures after Christmas of the items I had made."

The Bigfoot Café

★★★★★ 4.9 (42)

"GET YOUR PHOTO TAKEN WITH BIGFOOT!+ Delicious coffee, friendly atmosphere, delicious treats and Sasquatch sightings!!! You can't ask for a better cafe!"

Gallery N Gifts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9) • $$$

"I love buying gifts in this store. Really cute things at pretty reasonable prices. I usually buy candles that are made by Tehachapi candle company. Also when you buy something as a gift they will put in a gift bag with tissue and ribbon. Makes it a lot easier. Great art work done by local artist. I am not an art person but it all looks good."

Rancho Ravari Almonds & Gifts

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"The owner also owns the cute goods shop next door and the U-Haul. Multi-tasker! I'm admire that. We picked up some dark chocolate peanut brittle and it was absolutely delicious. The owner was so friendly too. Will definitely come again."

Marcela’s Enchanted Cottage

★★★★★ 4.7 (59) • $$

"We went here to celebrate my sisters and it was my first time eating here. The tea selection is beyond amazing and the food was so delicious and I loved the idea of ordering ahead so I didn't have to spend extra time trying to figure out what to order. Pro tip: order extra lemon cake at the end.. it was probably my favorite part!"
