Know it's on the shelf before you drive.
A downtown Hollister shop stocked with home goods, cards, pantry provisions, and more than forty San Benito County makers. Call and we'll set anything aside at the counter — wrapping is free, always.
On the floor
Where most shoppers start.
Six departments, each with a real price range. Registry, corporate gifting, and the seasonal floor are all on the shop page.
Gifts & cards
The wall people come to twenty minutes before a birthday party. Cards, candles, small-batch soaps, and gifts that don't look like they came from a big-box aisle.
What's in stock →Local makers
A rotating shelf of San Benito County makers — jams, honey, hot sauce, jewelry, prints of the hills and San Juan Bautista. Every maker has a name on the tag.

Why people come downtown
Forty makers, one shelf, every name on the tag.
Pottery from Tres Pinos, honey from the ranch roads south of town, letterpress prints of San Juan Bautista, olive oil pressed in Paicines. The maker shelf rotates monthly and almost nothing on it exists in a national catalog.
Call ahead and anything goes behind the counter with your name on it the same day. Gift wrapping takes about four minutes and costs nothing, whatever you spent.

How the shop works
Look, hold, wrap, come back.
1. See it before you drive
Categories, brands, and current shelf highlights are on the site, so a shopper two miles away knows the trip is worth it.
2. Call or message to hold
Anything can be set aside at the counter the same day. No cart, no checkout, no shipping label — just a name on a bag.
3. Pick up or have it wrapped
Wrapping is free and takes about four minutes. Curbside pickup runs during holiday weekends when parking gets tight.
4. Come back for the reset
The floor changes six times a year and the events page tells you when. Regulars plan around the November open house.
Open 6 days a week
Call and we'll set it aside.
Same-day holds at the counter, free gift wrapping year-round, and free two-hour parking right out front on San Benito Street.
Shop FAQ
Hours, holds, wrapping, and parking.
Where is the shop located in Hollister?
On San Benito Street in downtown Hollister, in the middle of the historic retail block, with free two-hour street parking and a public lot around the corner.
When is your shop on San Benito Street open for visitors?
We welcome shoppers Tuesday through Friday from 10am to 6pm, Saturdays 9am to 6pm, and Sundays 11am to 4pm. Our downtown Hollister storefront is closed on Mondays, and we update the visit page with holiday schedules 2 weeks in advance.
Can I buy online?
This sample shop sells in person and by phone hold rather than through a cart. The site shows what's carried, and a call sets it aside for same-day pickup at the counter.
Is complimentary gift wrapping available at your boutique?
Yes, we offer free gift wrapping year-round for every purchase, regardless of the amount. During December, we host 2 special evenings where we will wrap items from any store in San Benito County at no charge.
Do you carry products from local makers?
More than forty San Benito County makers rotate through the shelves — pottery, honey, soap, letterpress cards, linens, and olive oil, each tagged with the maker's name.
Can I purchase gift cards for local friends and family?
Gift cards are available in any denomination, never expire, and can be used immediately. If you are coming from nearby San Juan Bautista or Tres Pinos, you can call ahead to buy one and we will have it ready at the counter for you.
Is parking easy downtown?
Free two-hour street parking runs the length of San Benito Street, with a public lot half a block away that rarely fills outside of the holiday open house weekend.
