    There are a lot of stores on Del Mar that sell candles and soaps and cards and what-not, but this shop is my favorite by far!  All of the stores are pretty competitively priced with each other (especially those selling the *exact* same lines of certain candles, perfumes, etc), so there isn't much to say on that topic.  What I want to rave about is the owner, Susan.  She is just so nice!  You can be looking at a box of chocolates and she will offer to open a box just so you can try them.  Just 5 minutes in this shop will brighten anyone's day.  It is a pretty small store, so you can literally see everything in just a few minutes, but the jazz music, the friendly banter with the owner and the selection of gifts is great!  Mother's Day, Housewarming Party, Bridal Shower - whenever you need a gift for a woman, this is your one-stop-shop.  Susan has amazing skills with tissue paper and ribbon and can make something as simple as a bar of soap look like a lovely gift!  They have darling aprons that are made locally.  She sells so many that the cute retro patterns and designs seem to revolve almost daily!  They are somehow tied-in with Papyrus so they have a great selection of cards and stationery.  If you ever need a gift, or just a few moments to listen to some jazz, have a friendly hello and sniff 47 different scents of candles and soaps, this is the place!
