I rarely stop in here because I'm often in downtown La Jolla in the morning when that location isn't busy. This one can be crowded.

This location often has some kind of arts and crafts thing going on near the doorway which lures in kids. If you really need to shop in there, it's super helpful. But if you're trying to avoid the store, then it's tough when your kid is in tow asking to do whatever it is they are doing.

But like other locations, we have bought gifts here with help from sales associates. They wrap it all rather quickly and we're out the door. I love Geppettos.
