Seaside Makers is one of my favorite places to shop! It’s an awesome place to support Local Makers. Perfect place to find a gift or to treat yourself. ❤️
Lots of cool trinkets but the owner is sooo rude. She has a seriously vindictive attitude towards the taco shop next door and their patrons, I have been yelled at for standing in her parking lot and for standing on the curb in front. How can someone work in a service industry have so little patience? My friends from out of town wanted to check her store out but lost the desire after she yelled at us for standing in front of the store.
Super cool spot located in the center of the Funk Zone. Featuring all local artists and something for everyone! We met Jules the owner and she was super sweet! Offered us one of her tables to eat our tacos from next door because we wanted to sit in the sun. Even cleaned it off for us and welcomed us over even though we were not shopping there. Of course we did end up going in and I’m so glad we did! She was helpful and willing to even take a custom order. I’m already making my Christmas shopping list here. This is my new go to spot for gift shopping!
I love shopping at this store! Fabulous gifts and souvenirs that are personal and unique! The scent bar is great! I like to choose the perfect essential oil blend to make my own lotion or body wash, plus they have all the other Grapeseed skin care products. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. I felt comfortable shopping there during Covid, as they even make their own Grapeseed hand sanitizer that is organic!
I wish I could give Jules 10 stars! She is such a talented artist and a pleasure to work with. I fell in love with her work two years ago when I was holiday shopping in the funk zone. I recently contacted Jules to see if she’d be interested/available to make custom earrings for my bridesmaids. Not only did she take on this project with full excitement, but she helped me work through the design until I was 100% happy with the final product. My ladies LOVED them and we got so many compliments from our wedding guests, many of which asked where I found them. I had such a wonderful experience with Jules that I also asked her to make bracelets for my mom and mother-in-law too! Both of which turned out so lovely. Thank you so much, Jules!!
It’s a great place to pick up handmade artisan things.
Seaside Makers was the first shop we popped into when we arrived in Santa Barbara to explore for the day! Jules, the owner was so amazing and sweet. She pulled out maps of the area, pointing us in the direction of her favourite spots for us to visit! And, she had the perfect and only thing I actually bought on our trip! The shop is perfect. Highly recommend saying hi to Jules!!
Sad to learn that the sunglasses were made in CHINA.
Love this spot for custom fragrances, and local artisan gifts!
Local artisans and purveyors of local goods have joined forced to offer their unique products under one roof. If youre in the Funk Zone, dont miss out on this little gem.
Seaside Makers is a beautiful spot nestled in the Funk Zone full of wonderful surprises...gifts for every age, gender, and interest. I love it!
Awesome place for everything handmade!
