Olive and Cork

You will think you are in Provence or anywhere south of France after entering inside Olive & Cork. I always think San Diego has a passion for anything French and even in this adorable gift shop you can get your Eiffel tower fix: for $ 40 you get a metal tower that adorns your dusty corner and brings you a little bit of oh la la. If that is not enough, there are hundreds of other not chess charming useless (or not) items.
Enthusiasts of having a salt an pepper shakers with the shape of a cute petit cochon and a mignon poulet… here is your place! You can find the cutest things for your kitchen or that someone nice enough to invite you to her/​his place for dinner. Be a nice guest and get something from here!
This spacious and luminous store has been occupying prime winery real estate for a few months now and is a nice addendum to the other gift shops. You can get also something of relatively local flavor, such a Ramona olive oil (expensive, but who does not want the extra virgin golden liquid in their table and help the local agriculture?). You can also taste some of the oils they have on sale, all made with local products.
My favorite items of all today, other than the Eiffer tower (I just love them!) was a nice poutpourri of dry roses and other exotic flower and greenery with mini terracotta pots in the bag. I will come back to pick it up when I forget that paying $ 22 for that hurts my pocket! But smells so good and looks even better.
