Retreat: Lifestyle, Jewelry & Gifts — Local services in South Pasadena

If you haven't checked this store out, you're doing yourself a disfavor. I literally "ran" into this store one hot Sunday afternoon, with my head down, and noticed pink hearts at my feet. I looked up to see this cute little store opened so late, and on a Sunday! Needless to say, I walked in, enjoyed browsing the unique items, and walked out with 6 of their artisan candles in Mason jars. All DELICIOUS scents which transformed my little mouse-hole of an apartment into a cozy, magical, and special Home. I'm a very happy repeat customer. I enjoy items hand-made by wonderful artisans, I support "small businesses" because I've rejected big, greedy corporations, and I highly recommend "Retreat" and its sweet and knowledgeable Owner! Go visit "Retreat"...

This is a great gift store with a unique selection of gifts - especially for men, that I have not seen elsewhere - very special one of a kind type stuff.

They have masculine journals, gorgeous retro chrome and brass clocks that look like steampunk meets The Jetsons in the form of rocket ships or robots or nautical, and very classy custom ceramic coasters with modified album cover art work like the Beatles, Dylan, Vaughan, Bowie, Floyd, Zep, Stones, Doors etc., unique cards, dude jewelry, and Ukuleles…and yes stuff for females too.

If you need a creative gift, this is a great place to find it. I bought really cool coasters with the local street names for a host and hostess gift - it was a last...

I always wind up buying something at Retreat! They have wonderful cards, cool coasters and beautiful jewelry, among other great gifts. I was browsing yesterday and wound up purchasing a bunch of birthday cards that are perfect for certain people. I also enjoyed talking to the woman who was working there. She was pleasant and enthusiastic, and made me smile. A perfect shopping experience at this must-visit...
