Evangeline's - Sacramento, California

Did not expect to find this gem. Just walked in thought it looked cool. Every aisle is something refreshing and unique! The main store has all these ornate costumes with various themes like cleopatra, saloon, warriors, etc. the other store is like a gag gift store but on steroids. I’ve never seen any store this tapped in to quirky things. Like we saw a whole section dedicated to avocado items and a book dedicated to Timothee Chalamet 😂

This is the coolest novelty shop I've ever encounter in all my travels. They literally carry everything your little heart desires, from Unicorn cards to unicorn stuff animals to mermaid tails, all kind of Frida novelties, Star Wars, Star Trek, even marvel and DC Comics novelties. Just really great merchandise and awesome customer service. Employees are really helpful and friendly also. Great place to visit!!

Wow, just get ready to be blown away at the staggeringly large inventory! This is truly the place for fun, quirky gifts and top-notch costumes. It spans three floors in a gorgeous vintage building. The staff is helpful and kind. The greeting card selection is the best there is (if you're looking for one that is funny or dorky). Set some time aside....as time flies within these captivating walls.

The store is always a delight to shop in. So many amazing and unique trinkets and gifts to look at. Could easily spend an hour or two lost in the store. Don't forget that if you stop by to take time to take the elevator or stairs which are located outside to the second and third floors to visit their Halloween store. You will be blown away. Amazing. It used to be only open during October but now it is open year-round. If you are in Sacramento or Old Sacramento you absolutely have to stop at this store. The prices on items are extremely reasonable too.

Let me preface this review by saying I’ve been an Evangeline’s customer for 30 years. A long time. I went in there the other day & of the 30 years I have been shopping there? I have never felt more unwelcome. This new batch, the team you have now? They chitchat with each other behind the register, don’t look up & don’t greet customers. They don’t offer to help anybody & this was literally every floor I went on. I just put my stuff back & left. I was in customer service 20 years & just from that standpoint? This isn’t kind of behavior I would want representing my business. Talk to your staff about the importance of making people feel welcome in your establishment. That energy just isn’t there anymore.

I have been coming to this specialty gift shop since I was a child, and it is still as fun now, as it was then. This gift shop has every little item you can think of for friends or family with all sorts of options to choose from for any special occasion or personality. I’m sure you can find something for everyone here.

Love, love, Love! There are so many different aspects of the shop all under one roof. The gamers area, black light, mermaids, woodsy, masquerade, family and more. Oh, and let's not forget the cats. So many options for cute gifts, accessories for the perfect outfit or the last item to decorate a punk wall. Take 5, find parking and check it out, you won't be disappointed!

My dad used to take me here, and i still go with my wife every once in a while. They are two stores tall and the merchandise is great quality. If you want better quality costumes for parties or Halloween or just because you're into that sort of thing, they are the place to go. I included a picture of me and my wife trying on hats there.
