HOME ARTS

UNIQUE GIFTS AND HOME FURNISHINGS

Home Arts is my favorite shop in Cambria. I could wander through this cozy shop all day! I always find a small souvenir to take home. This shop has all types of home goods, art, and unique gifts. They have the best greeting cards as well. Home Arts has the cutest children’s gift area in the back. The store is grouped into themes – mermaids, beachy, national parks/nature, etc. Stop in, and you will not be disappointed! You will not forget a special gift for anyone when browsing this store! There is truly something for everyone. In my opinion, Home Arts is a do not miss in Cambria.

THE CAMBRIA GARDEN SHED

UNIQUE GIFTS FOR THE GARDEN LOVER

The Cambria Garden Shed is another one of the favorites that I consider the best shopping in Cambria! I love the eclectic collection that is the Cambria Garden Shed. Not only do they carry a ton of unique gifts, but browsing the shed will inspire you to create art with plants in your yard. The shed offers an extensive selection of garden accessories, pottery, outdoor art, and specialty body products.

The building itself is historic and has been around since 1890. The pathways in the back will lead you through a variety of plants and yard art to explore. In the back, you will also find a few of my other favorite stores, Grow Nursery and Simplistic Home.

GROW NURSERY

A SUCCULENT FOR EVERYONE

I never miss Grow Nursery when visiting Cambria. Tucked back behind The Cambria Garden Shed, this boutique nursery specializes in rare succulents, air plants, handmade pottery & gemstones. There are many beautiful succulents to look at, and I love bringing one (or three) home from each Cambria trip. Seeing them flourish in my backyard makes me happy, and I reminisce on this beautiful town I love.

SIMPLISTIC HOME

RUSTIC HOME FURNISHINGS AND GIFTS

Another one of my favorite stores to wander, Simplistic Home, is tucked behind The Cambria Garden Shed. Simplistic Home is filled with rustic farmhouse and vintage bohemian gifts and home furnishings. They have great greeting cards and seasonal offerings as well. I always find something fun for someone at Simplistic Home.

FROGGIES

OUR SON’S TOP PICK IN CAMBRIA

When we ask my son about the best shopping in Cambria, his first answer is always, “Froggies!” We save a trip to Froggies gift shop for the end of the trip as a special reward for hiking without complaining/dining without complaining/basically insert a verb and add “without complaining,” etc.! Ha. Froggies is a toy store in the West Village. Our son loves wandering around and looking at everything before making a pick. They carry larger toys but plenty of smaller things as a souvenir for your children. If you are traveling with your family of young kids, this makes a great sport for souvenirs. After all of the browsing he puts up with me doing in Cambria, we can take a few minutes to let him do the same in his element!

SWEET OFFERINGS

ANOTHER TOP PICK FROM OUR SON

Another one of my son’s best shopping in Cambria picks! Sweet Offerings is located in the East Village on Burton Drive and carries a variety of candies and sweets. Our son loves coming in to pick a few things during our Cambria visits. This is a great family-friendly stop. They have a classic wall of Jelly Belly candies, but they also carry a ton of nostalgic candies that will take you back in time. Sweet Offerings specializes in its homemade fudge and makes a variety of other chocolates, truffles, and treats.
