The Constellation Marketplace — Local services in Sacramento

The Constellation Market is a small retail gift shop located in the Arthouse on R Street that features small batch goods, handmade gifts, and boutique finds with an emphasis on Sacramento-region makers and entrepreneurs.

Upon walking into the store, I was immediately taken in by the large mural at the back of the store encouraging shoppers to shop local (always a good sentiment no matter where you go). My eyes were then drawn to the wide variety of merchandise which included beauty products, home decor, jewelry, clothing, and small souvenirs. After perusing their shelves for some time, I decided to purchase several items - some as gifts for myself, while others to gift to friends.

I purchased postcards with a map of Sacramento illustrated by Queeny Lu of Traveling Calligrapher, Citrus Mint soy wax candles from Fish & Chip Craft Co., plant stakes that read "Please don't die" (a very relatable feeling for many of us plant parents) created by Mostly Just Tired a local Sacramento maker, and last but not least mini tinted unscented lip balms in peach crafted by loveBBgoods based in Davis, CA. In my little haul alone, I was able to purchase a variety of goods from local artisans, which I think is something truly unique to The Constellation Market.

If you're looking to support a local business and local makers, then you definitely need to stop by The Constellation Market - with their wide selection of products, there's certainly something here...

The Constellation Marketplace is my go to spot for gifts for family and friends. As well as just to shop for myself. I love the variety of small businesses and makers - jewelry, candles, home decor, kids stuff, vintage clothes… it’s very well curated. Super welcoming and fun environment, it’s awesome that the person working at the store might be the person who made the item you are buying! Good location close to food and drinks, I like walking over to Beer’s Books...

What a gem this place is. Lots of different little gift type things (hats, candles, decor, and stickers). Seems to be a lot of local artist representation. Also the service is great. I bought a sparkly decoration for a family member and they were kind enough to offer me a box with packing materials and remove the price tags for me!

If you've seen Schitt's Creek, this gave me Rose Apothecary vibes. Very much enjoyed shopping, would like to...
