Kaleidoscope

An amazingly adorable store with something for everyone!! It was hard not to buy the whole store!!! Amazing smelling candles, cooking gear like spiralizers and french presses, got my new favorite cookbook there today! The owner was there who rung us up, such a sweet man with a store so full of light. Ill be back many more times!

One of my favorite stores! I actually can’t come in too often because I will only keep buying things. On my most recent visit, I was able to pick up some goodies for my Secret Santa person, an awesome new, happiness-​themed planner, and a cool veggie peeler I needed.
They have a good amount of kitchen gadgets, but also fun items that make unique gifts. I am always greeted with a friendly hello and I love supporting local shops. Fun store and excellent finds.

I walk into this store every single time I pass by it! It is full of vibrant colors, and on a drab San Diego July afternoon, that’s really all you need!
They have lots of cool items, and I never fail to crack up at some of the things I see (in the best way possible). Some things are a liiiittle on the pricey side ($ 40 candle — holy cow!), but I feel like anything in NP will be the same. The more expensive items are actually priced well. The candle is huge and made of some really good stuff! Smells amazing, too!
Check this place out! It really has a lot of great little gifts for your family, friends, and of course, for yourself :)

I stumbled upon Kaleidoscope while on a search for a gift for a friend. This store has a good selection of well-​priced gifts including books, cute/​functional kitchen/​home supplies, and more. I’m a fan!

Really great unique stuff. Perfect place to find a gift that is fun, different and useful!

Was walking down university and decided to pop in. This store is awesome!!! It was so hard to leave. The colors, everything just catches your eyes. They have fun drinking items, kitchen accessories, books, these cute birdhouses. It’s just a fun store and I had to make a list of everything I wanted from here. Definitely something new, different, and just amazing.

Great store and wonderful selection! Fun, creative merchandise — great novelty items for your home and perfect for gifts. My friends loved what I brought them from Kaleidoscope. The owners Becki and Lee are so friendly and welcoming — it’s a pleasure to shop. Can’t wait to see what new items they have next!

This place is awesome!!! It’s super bright and makes you feel cheerful as soon as you walk in. I live close to NP but rarely shop there, as I’m not much of a shopper (…so I rarely shop anywhere.).
Anyway, on my way home, I drove past a tiny shop – in NP, but not Kaleidoscope – and I made a U-​turn because I wanted the banner I saw in their window. I parked and was making my way to the «unknown shop» (UKS) when I saw Kaleidoscope and decided to quickly look around.
… About 30 minutes (and almost $ 100) later, I left Kaleidoscope and never made it to the UKS – I’m calling it the UKS because I have no idea what it’s called – as I was no longer interested in their banner. And, to make things even better, I found a necklace at Kaleidoscope that looked similar to the banner I was going to get from UKS. #Fate
Thank you, Lee and Becki, for creating such a fabulous store! I shall return.

So. Many. Awesome. Impulse items! They have such cute stuff here I’ve never seen before. Lots of kitchen items or stuff for lunch packs, as well as toys and home décor. Shop owner is a very sweet man, too. I didn’t buy anything here because I’m on a strict budget these days, but I’ll be back someday!

This is a great shop! Perfect for picking up a gift for someone. They sell some of the best smelling candles I have ever smelled! (Both their kaleidoscope brand and other brands they offer) Tons of interesting products, some from local artists and handmade! You can be sure to find something for anyone here!

What a cute little store! I didn’t even know about it and it caught my eye while I was walking in North Park. Everything is so bright and cute here– it literally looks like a kaleidoscope.
This shop is perfect if you’re a cook or looking for unique things to get a food/​wine lover. I got two silicone wine stoppers that looked really cool. I can’t wait to test them out real soon!
There’s also stuff for your dogs, candles, and even soaps shaped like popcicles! And the price range is great! There’s very affordable things in this shop, as well as some higher priced items.
Lastly I want to say that the shop owner is so nice. He is very charming and makes you feel welcomed as soon as you walk into the shop.
I’ll definitely be coming back next time I’m in North Park!

Wandered in because the place looked interesting. They have a fun and wonderful selection of home and kitchen gadgets. I went home with a quality stylin’ mandolin for $ 20. The owners are sweet and helpful. I will definitely will be going back for xmas gifts.

This store is unbelievable! We got some amazing, cool, hip items for the home at very reasonable prices.
We bought several line colored kitchen utensils that fit our modern kitchen décor and also a chic doggie placemat for our puppy.
If you find yourself in North Park you have to check this store out!

Getting all my lady friends house warming gifts here!

What a wonderful eclectic place to stroll through, have some pleasant conversation about one of the things i love most (cooking) and buy some very cute and unique things for myself or as a gift. highly recommend this place to anyone who likes to live in a bright colored world! the owners are super helpful and friendly, that always makes shopping a nice experience!

What a gem of a store! They literally have something for everyone and a wide price range. Great for home goods, kitchen and other items. A super place for gifts. I found the perfect birthday present for a friend which was totally unexpected! The owners, Lee and Becki are such fabulous people and so welcoming to the community in North Park and Hillcrest!

Colorful! I stumbled in during the North Park Festival of Arts which happened to be their soft opening. The couple that own the store, Becki and Lee are both so sweet, endearing, and friendly. I ended up spending half an hour just talking to them on the two occasions I stopped by. Their products as well as their own store brand candles are unique, colorful, and most of all function-​able. It truly is like stepping into a Kaleidoscope — everything is colorful and cheerful including the owners!
For such a small amount of space, they sure do have a lot of great products arranged so beautifully! They certainly know their products well as they are the ones who chooses them and aren’t afraid to tell you if they prefer one over the other if you need help deciding or comparing items.

What a cute little gift store!!! It reminds me of a smaller less expensive Pigment or maybe the Babette Schwartz of North Park. If you don’t know either of those stores, save your money and go to Kaleidoscope. You can get really adorable unique gifts. It’s the kind of stuff where people will ask you where the heck you found it!
Note: An older couple from the neighborhood own it so the hours aren’t strict. I walked in after closing time but they will stick around if foot traffic is still good.

This new store is adorable! So many great colors! It’s really hard to choose from all the fun stuff. I know where I’ll be heading anytime I need a gift.
