The Experience:

Who’s Left on your Shopping List?

Haven’t quite finished Christmas shopping yet? Well, they have you covered.

Whales & Friends has been Alameda’s ‘go-to’ gift shop for the holidays for over 30 years. From beautiful ornaments, to paper weights and puzzles to fun socks and hats to outdoor sculptures, you can find something for everyone on your list, including cranky Uncle Ernie.

“Thank you so much for supporting our store,” comments Christine Gonsalves, co-owner. “It’s so much fun knowing people and seeing them year after year. I love watching the children grow up and even seeing customers becoming grandparents!”

Whales & Friends also offers a curated collection of hand-crafted jewelry including their own exceptionally beautiful cloisonné Bamboo Jewelry, showcasing favorite birds, marine animals, panda bears, turtles, and butterflies. And they gift wrap for free! Holiday Hours Tuesday – Friday, Christmas Eve 12-9 or 10pm.
