Gift Gallery

I cannot believe the great items in this store, and such a wide selection! I was able to get a Lenox jewelry box for my granddaughter with a musical ballerina inside that I know she is just going to love! And the gift wrapping is out of this world!!! The workers here do such a great job with the most gorgeous paper and fantastic bows! I think they must have gone to school for their craft! Everything and anything you could posdibly want is here. The staff couldn’t have been more friendly, knowledgeable and SO helpful. They have great specialty candies and packaged dips. They even have pretzels for you to sample the dips they sell. I cannot wait to return to this gem of a store in Fremont. Love this place!

Best place, sweetest employees, and I have watched this business grow my entire life. My Santa cookie jar comes out every Christmas!

the family owned store is the best around for eye catching gifts and handmade jewelry and other art by local artisans. the owner and staff are terrific and helpful. it is always a fun experience! btw, free beautiful gift wrapping-​a huge plus

It’s a beautiful store, and there aren’t many such gift stores left in the bay area. Every thing is very beautifully displayed. If you’re looking for charming nick-​knacks to decorate the home, or for a feminine gift, this is the place in Fremont. Lovely candles, beautiful chocolates, some select pieces of Lenox and Waterford too. They have a selection of Limoges boxes, and some elegant jewelry — gift wrap is complimentary. It is a lovely gift store — not like an old country shop.

I called in the morning because I needed a gift wrapped and I suck at wrapping gifts. They said they can do it and I felt so relieved! I came in and they said they don’t wrap anything unless it’s store bought? Then I said I called and they said I could so the lady did it. She wrapped the gift in beautiful paper and put ribbons on it but the paper was very loose and crinkled. Because I didn’t have a choice I just went with it. They charged $ 15 as well for a pretty bad job :/​If this is my last resort I’ll come otherwise I’ll try to go somewhere else.

I go here when I have no idea what to get someone but I know I want to get something nice. I often think when I go in that I won’t find anything but then… I do! Once it was for my cousin’s graduation from the police academy — they had a nice scroll with the Policemen’s prayer on it. I do feel that sometimes you can find the same thing online at a cheaper price but that is not the point of this place. And that is not to say the items are not good quality. You get ideas on what to get and the owner does a great job of helping with ideas — so ask! You are paying for that inspiration too. Plus we should shop local whenever we can… I just have to fight the cheapo urge that comes so naturally to me!
The gift wrapping is also really beautiful and elevates any gift you get.

They have a wide variety of gifts for every occasion you can think of. I came here because I needed a gift I purchased from another store and their customer service is superb! Thank you guys :) — Murtaza

Gift Gallery looks like a store you only see in movies, it is so beautiful and has such a warm environment. I was so surprised the first time I walked in. It honestly didn’t think stores like this exists! And the stuff there is so nice– very unique and everything is high quality. You’re not going to have stuff that will fall apart like most major department stores. The best part is, they have free gift wrap. And not just any gift wrap– full on gorgeous gift wrap– the works– nice wrapping paper and real ribbon. I’ve even asked for gift bags and tissue paper! Don’t miss up an opportunity to come into this store, it is perfect for gifts, baby stuff, home décor, even bath supplies and pajamas and scarves!!! At Christmas, it is like Santas village. Really, I just love it.

Random store. You shop the merchandise as if you were browsing your grandmother’s house picking things off tables and shelves for purchase.
High prices. Only cute thing I liked was the free gift wrapping/​packaging.

This store is very similar to the gift store in Castro Valley at Castro Village. They have a lot of knick-​knack and decorative items. Lots of things that your grandmother might like. This one in Fremont also has a candy/​confections counter, which is nice.
Unfortunately, the owner, Sue, was quite rude on my visit today.
I was looking at a frame which had obviously been on display for some length of time. I know that sometimes small store owners have items they would just like to sell-​off, so they are open to accepting a few dollars less.
The frame was new, but imperfect for sure. So, I thought I would just ask if she would possibly discount it a little bit more. Just asking — I am very soft-​spoken, so my demeanor was not an issue.
She seemed offended and asked in a stern voice WHY I thought she should do that. Then she went on to say the frame was just fine and basically dismissed me like a pan handler.
What ever happened to, «No, I’m really sorry. I can’t lower the price on those at all right now. You might give me a call in a few weeks. Things sometimes get marked down further.»
Nope. She was just gonna be irritated at my effrontery.
Fortunately, the other clerk in the store was really sweet and nice. But I still think a small business is a primarily a reflection of it’s owner.
That mirror is looking pretty shabby. Hence, the one star rating.

I have shopped with Gift Gallery since Sue’s in-​laws owned the store at the Fremont Hub. If you like great quality, wonderful items for your home, this is the place to shop. This store is NOT pricey for what you are buying. If you want a single use, throw away item then shop Walmart, but if you want classy items that enhance your home for years to come you should be shopping at Gift Gallery. There are variety of items for everyone’s price range. This store is my favorite to get unique classy items as gifts even if the gift is for myself.

You can find handmade items, collectibles, miniatures, and seasonal items for any occasion as well as every American Holiday imaginable. Christmas, Valentines Day, St Patrick’s, Easter, Halloween. Be careful what you handle, items here are fragile and easy to break. The ladies there are skilled and make some of the crafts, they are nice and helpful if you can’t decided on what you want. Items are a little pricey. Remember this is not the a 99 cents store or dollar tree.

This is a quaint little shop at the shopping center, next to Panera Bread and an awesome toy store. Gift Gallery sells what seems to be random, but cute stuffs like candles to glassware. It’d be a good place to go if you have no idea what to buy for a girl friend.
