As seen on TV

Something for everyone. At least that’s what I thought as I browsed through the entire store. I checked every aisle and every shelf. I think it’s cool to see things people invent out of laziness or necessity.
I really can’t comment on prices because it’s not like shop around for things found in this store, nor do I watch TV as I don’t even own one. However, the prices seemed affordable as I didn’t see anything listed that would require me cutting off any limbs for payment.
It was distraction for me as I walked thru Solvang. It was something different to see.

This is a usual tourist-​trap store in the most touristy area for miles. However, some of the products can be useful. Except the «Potty Putter», a putting green for people on the toilet. Do us all a favor and handle your business and get the hell out.
Also, everyone is getting a Chia Obama for Christmas. I wonder if it’s growing hair will get as gray as his has over time.

This should be listed under Kitschen and Bath.
Some of these As Seen on TV items (the egg peeler, windshield repair kit, wipe new headlight restoration) didn’t work as promised, but this shouldn’t reflect on the store itself. Sure the store could use more space and organization and discounts, but the store is a fun diversion between all the wine tasting, wooden shoes, cuckoo clocks, gift shops, and ollie bowlies or hansel gruben or whatever those pancake balls are called. It’s certainly the most appealing store to typical dudes who want bowls made of bacon, pocket hoses, chia zombies, cup o’ poodles, and lots of things described as Miracle or Magic. Some people are reviewing the store, some the items, so I say VISIT this store, but, yeah, check reviews on the products. For example, the Easy Feet bath brush looks like a cool idea, but it’s probably harder to clean the brush than your feet. It should be called the Miracle Magic Mold Collector.

Hubby and I love these types of stores. I mean, who doesn’t need a device that’ll turn your raw veggies into swirls and others glorious works of art? Truthfully, most of these «As Seen on TV» items are questionable in their function and definitely not worth the $ 19.99 that they were advertised for on that infomercial (plus s & h). The prices of items vary here but you’ll find things for less than the infomercial prices. The lady that worked there was very sweet and we ended up buying a couple t-​shirts.

Cute store with many of the «as seen on TV» products.
They have a great collection of the products that you see on nightly infomercials. The store is a little cluttered and some of the products are hat to get to because of the way they are displayed. Most are a little over priced, but if you have been looking for that one product you saw at 3am about 4 years ago you can probably find it here.

We are not a chain store we are a mom and pop business. We work very hard to have all the wonderful infomercial products on hand to serve our loyal customers. We do not carry any inferior products if the reviews are not good. Anyone who comments please know what you are talking about before posting as it can be damaging to a small business. Many satisfied customers and people love the concept and conveinence of the store!

Chain store feeding off all the tourists that Solvang brings in… has a bunch of gimmicky/​novelty products that you see being marketed on television. Can be kind of fun, but at the end of the day, most of their products are junk…
Store itself is a little cramped and disorganized.

Seemed kind of out of place in the middle of Solvang, but what the heck. It’s fun to see first hand the gadgets you see on the infommercials. Almost bought a lap cup holder for a jive $ 5 but pinched myself until that urge went away. I’m a better person for it.

One word review: Kitchy.

Sort of a kitschy store that sells a lot of the products that you see advertised on tv whenever you have a bout of insomnia. Some items are quite useful and high quality such as the Gorilla glue and others are just whacked, like the hands free phone kit that is literally a head band with a suction cup. Ghetto Bluetooth. Just be aware that most of these products are made of inferior quality and will go out on you after a few uses. Most of these items are pretty amusing seeing that they cater to the lazyass in all of us.

This store is funny. It’s full of all kinds of stuff. There was «As Seen on TV» stuff that I hadn’t ever even seen on TV. Lots of quirky things in here.

As seen on Unilocal,this place is A-​OK. It’s pretty neat to see all those «As Seen On TV» items in one spot. If the items were a little more wallet friendly, they might get an extra star from me. But I’m sure they’d prefer making money over receiving my star ;)

I can’t help it… We always come to this place, and never buy anything, but its so addictive to see the wierd stuff people invent. Its very worth it to swing by just go pick up a snuggie, but everything else seems to be a one hit wonder.
You will undoubtedly say «wow what a great idea» when you come here, which makes it one of the hot spots in Solvang for tourists.

You can call me easily amused, but I lovedid it! In this quaint cozy town, it really is a unique & off-​the-​beaten-​path store.
I’ve seen quite a few stores like this (I can’t pass em’ up!), but never one with so many items and so uniquely packed into such a cozy space. The prices were somewhat high at times, yet the employee there was personable & helpful, plus they have vintage signs as well. It’s exciting to me to see all the gizmos & gadgets the mind can create. And some are so funny that I was actually giggling quietly in the aisle.

I like going to this place to see what kind of stuff they have. And in my experience, the people working there are really nice.
But if you live in the area and don’t mind driving, there’s one at the outlets in Pismo that seems to have the same items for a lesser price than the standard $ 19,99.

Although I have never made a purchase in this store, I have to stop in whenever I’m in Solvang. All those odd infomercials crammed into one stop shopping. It’s fun to look around, and who knew that the Flowbee was still being made and sold? What?!

Honestly, I don’t get this shop at all. It’s a shop filled with trinkets that looked fantastic, but are made of cheap materials. You would think these inventions would fetch millions of untold riches for the people who created these things.
Take for instance of these «sharpener» for your razor. Imagine you buying these disposable razors from your local Sav-​On, you only get to use it only twice because the blade get dulled fast. With these awesome trinket that can be proclaimed Fourteenth Wonders of the world, it can now save you money from buying these disposable razors again by sharpening it every single time after you shaved your skin.
Of all the places we could have shopped at Solvang, this unnecessary pitstop was the longest stay than any of the other stores. I don’t know, but the people I was with are easily amused by these gadgets or the fact they never stayed up at 2am in the morning like me (coincidentally I am writing this review at this hour of the morning).
Seriously, yes… this shop has most of the items that you have seen in the infomercial that high pressured the sales pitch to get you to call in. Now you can buy it at the store for 20−50% off from the TV price.
Frankly, I have seen this store in San Diego and San Francisco’s tourists area. This shop just doesn’t fit any of the other sausage fest or windmill gimicky restaurants that are within two blocks of this store. I guess it’s one of those train wrecks you have to get up front to see if it’s something you have never seen before.
As in for that purchase one of my co-​worker made… he told me the disposable razors were cheap and break down very easy. So that invention was useless for sharpening a cheap blade.
Go figure!

If your an infomercial junkie like me, this store is a fun place to window shop and check out cheesy products. Besides the usual gadget’s, they also have vintage medal posters and old school Beatles and Marilyn Moore items.
They also have a Hawaiian shave ice store connected to this store. Shave ice is NOT like Matsumoto. Its more like a snow cone then the fluffy pillow like shave ice in Hawaii. They have lots of flavors to deck out the snow cones.

gaudy, cheap and more or less pointless. I agree with Ari that most shops are filled with cheesy tourist stuff, but at least most of the stores try to go with the village theme. not this one. you can buy any of this stuff online, or in mall shops. there are several versions of this chain in the malls near my home. I think malls are where they should stay.

I had to review this place because it’s too cool!
I don’t know about you, but I’m not into the tourist town shops. They always seem to be filled with souvenirs, crafty jewelry, hard candy and weird handmade junk.
Not at the Seen On TV store! No sir, this place is filled with my kind of stuff. Basically it’s all the cheap products you see being sold on late night TV, in a store. All the vegetable peelers, mini-​ovens, health and beauty products and other cheap gadgets you see being hawked on info-​mercials is right here. I can’t believe this place doesn’t exist on 3^rd Street Promenade.
After passing curio shop after shop aimed at boring middle-​aged wine tasters, this was a breath of fresh air. I spent a good amount of time admiring the secret wall safes, original Clapper, toys, stone-​cutting saws and other goodies for sale.
So if you need a mini-​fridge, blinking bluetooth bracelet or mystery blue gel ointment, this is your place!
