Toboco Traders

Local gift shop with unique items. I brought my kids in to Christmas shop and had a negative experience. I try to support local businesses, especially during the holidays, but they all but chased my kids and I out of this store when we were shopping. They were constantly correcting my children for handling items that they were looking at. They were the customers, not me, I was just a wallet. If someone is figuring out whether or not they want to buy something it should be expected that they are going to pick it up. I was there as the parent and completely capable of correcting my children when they are touching something they can't afford to break. I probably won't come back after this. I could likely find most of these items on-line anyways. I was extremely close to just walking out without buying the items we picked out because I was so put off by the shopkeepers behavior, but my kids had invested too much time picking items out and would have been upset if we left without them. Never again.

I lived in Ridgecrest for 16 years and this has always been my favorite place to buy one of kind items. Marilyn and Richard (the owners) are great, friendly people and usually can get something if you just ask. They are two of the few people I will miss now that I've moved to Indiana.

I love this store I have been coming here since they opened their doors and I always get wonderful service. This couple offers charm and Good Vibrations and positivity into our town. I suggest everybody go here.

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