LUCCA Great Finds

This is one of the best gift shops I've been to in the Seattle area. It's part curiosity shop, part vintage art shop. They lean towards specializing into more of the curiosity side of gifts. In the front of the shop, you have coffee table books on centuries past fashion, anatomy, fortune telling, astrology, and vintage themed pictionary dictionaries. You can also find specialty soaps, lotions, and cedarwood & lemongrass sage bundles, tea and dish sets. In the back, they have vintage/antique post cards, posters, vintage scissors, and an abundant variety of writing tools! My favorite of the writing tools are the 'field note' mini notebooks and the group of grid, lined, and sketchbook notebooks that are of great quality. The owners take great care to bring their customers something unique and unusual. This is one of my favorite stores located in the Ballard neighborhood. I highly recommend taking a peak around, especially if you're a mixed media artist or creative entrepreneur. You're sure to find something, even if it's a neat and unique decoration for your space.

The perfect, well-curated shop for unique greeting cards, gifts and small, fun home goods like candles, soaps and scents. I also love their rotating jewelry selection and have splurged on a few of their items. Definitely worth stopping in!

I only bought a candle from this store - but what a fabulous candle! The Sydney Hale company makes some beautiful candles (the garden mint scent is heavenly) - and they support animal rescue organizations. The salespeople at the store were very helpful and kind and they sell some really nice products.

I love coming to this store. I could probably spend several hours in here if my conscience and guilt didn't kick in. They have cute finds from stationary, drawing and crafting utensils, to soaps, etc. It is a hodgepodge. Usually I am pining away for all the cute stuff in here because it is pretty expensive. I may splurge every now and then but I can't come too often for the sake of my wallet.

I enjoyed my visit to LUCCA Great Finds. So much to see and buy! I was very impressed with the selection of candles, bath & body care, calendars, planners, and much more. It is my own little tradition to come here and buy a candle or a soap to cheer up. This store always looks good and smells good. I will definitely be back!

Love this shop - everytime I'm in the neighborhood inevitably I drop in and find myself slowly smelling all the candles and soaps, browsing the greeting cards and stationary in the back, and wishing I had a lot more money to spend here. Personally I've never had a bad customer experience at this shop but it does get pretty busy (especially on weekends) so it can take a few minutes to check-out or to find someone to ask for help. I'd argue that it's on par with other similar boutiques in Ballard - it's a small business and they don't have a ton of staff on-hand to help you.If you need to find a unique gift for a housewarming or a birthday, I'd recommmend swinging by here for some interesting finds. The candles and soaps that I've purchased for others have always been well received and I've found that the soaps end up lasting a pretty long time (with the scents lasting as well).

Yet another perfect shop in Ballard!Stopped in on our stroll through the neighborhood and left with all kinds of cool things. They have a very creative and original collection of greeting cards for any occasion, decorative wrapping paper, stationary materials and writing utensils, candles & incenses, and so much more.This place has got a great little European feel to it and the employees are friendly and helpful. Overall, it's a bit on the pricy side of things; but it's high quality items you'll find here...so your paying for better things that'll look nicer and last longer! Well worth it, in my opinion.

The most beautiful and dreamy smelling gift store in Ballard! Amazing array of items, from perfumes to candles to out from heaven soaps to the most intricate adornments for your house. I was more and more amazed as I was discovering more and more the store and for a moment I thought I was back to elementary school times with those old fashioned German made inks in purple, lavender and indigo blue, so pretty!Plenty of old school note books with travel memorabilia, especially portraying creative images of London, Paris and Seattle. Their patio is gorgeous and everything there is on sale too. Lots of kitsch objects and atmosphere. Friendly service that allows you to browse and touch without being on top of you. And oh, again, that smell on the way out, you will never forget that magic smell of Lucca's candles.

Quirky, beautiful and oddly inspiring.One of the most intriguingly staged stores I have been to and a wonderful surprise to walk around in. Black walls, restored jeweled chandeliers, bird cages, antique cards and letterpress, old maps, quirky statuary, and gifts. Inspirational browsing for those with a creative spirit. I always walk out with an odd find: orange/pink leather passport case, gardening book, retro robot toy, frame, etc. Perfectly placed in the old-towny, heart of brownstone laden Ballard Avenue.

LUCCA great finds indeed! I saw Juniper Ridge Products on Instagram and I reallllllly have been looking for natural, woodsy, inspired products/fragrances. When I went to the website LUCCA was the onlyLocal boutique to carry themI've walked by the store a HUNDRED times and somehow never managed to pop inThat changed today. Due to covid only 4 people can occupy the space. Totally find, so since I WANTED to smell these products I patiently waited my turn. I sanitized before I was able to enter and wore my mask even when smelling the fragrances. I found what I was looking for and then continued on browsing. I finally settled on the mini soaps to try as many as possible. I also picked up a tea because I mean of course!The store has a selection of the best find though! If you have an eclectic taste then you MUST pop into this small local Ballard business. You will not be sorry!I had a budget, but I swear I'll be popping in for some of their other candles and items.
