The Mole Hole of Solvang

The Mole hole is a treasure trove of knick knacks, home décor, jewelry and so much more, that apparently I missed the upstairs portion of the store upon my visit.
The store has a good vibe, and its roomy enough that you don’t feel claustrophobic, which is always a plus.
Prices are average to many of the other shops in Solvang.

Very cute gift shop with lots of colorful items to browse. My wife loves this place and shops there every time we come to Solvang. She bought some small rose lace tablecloths on this trip. Street parking in front of the store.

I went in because of ONE thing I saw in the window and walked out with like 20 other things, that didn’t even include the thing I went in to look at!
So much good stuff in here and the staff is super nice.

Fail. Store was apparently closing as we arrived because the door was locked, but still had a «We’re Open — Come On In» sign displayed. Clerk opened the door and said she was only letting people out. I pointed out that if they’re closing it would be good to remove the Open sign. She said «Ok» in a «whatever» tone of voice, relocked the door & walked away without touching the sign which still said Open.
Fail customer service 101 — being nice.

I really enjoyed browsing this store! There was such a nice selection of different things, and everything was laid out in a manner that you could see everything individually. The prices were not outrageous, and I saw things there that I havent seen at other gift stores before. Im excited to return upon our next visit!

The girl really liked this store. Three stories of trinkets. Huge selection of home decorating items. Signs, figurines, candles, dolls, jewelry, and other similar items. Two nice ladies working behind the counter. Nice shop to browse. Reasonable prices. We enjoyed all the Jim Shore items the most.

Cute gift shop. They carry Vera Bradley bags & Feel Good tees. Friendly staff.

I’m not really a shopper (I don’t think), but this store is very special. It’s not local for me, but I do visit Solvang somewhat regularly, albeit infrequently. My first couple of times I was just overwhelmed at this store (by its sights and smells) and left quickly with a headache. However, this store has a great selection of «Life is Good» stuff, so I now go straight to their sale section and pick up some Life is Good stuff. While there, I actually looked at their stuff and asked some questions. I discovered (1) their stuff is very special and well «curated»; it’s a great place for gift shopping; (2) their staff is so friendly and patient. They also have, bar none, the best selection of Chamilia beads, beating anything here in Los Angeles. I love Solvang and I will always visit The Mole Hole if I visit Solvang.

LOVE this store! The staff are very friendly and helpful. Went in looking for an anniversary gift and walked out with something for myself! I saw SO many things I wanted to call mine! Very unique items here. I plan to go back when I come to Solvang again!

This is one of my favorite shops in Solvang. Such a variety of unique things from jewelry, fragrance and lotions, clothing, kitchen things, old guys rule t-​shirts, household decorations and nick-​knacks, and lots more. I always send friends here when they come to Solvang to visit.

You just have to stop here. I have since I was a kid. They have all sorts of funky knock knacks. At Christmas they have great decorations for your home. Service is always friendly and they box things up really well, so they can travel home with you.

This is such a great place with cute gift items. I don’t think you would realize how much is in this «hole» until you walk in. There is a full collection of Vera Bradley products, Swarovski, Lollia and many other items for the home. Good to know about this place in case you’re in need of a last minute gift.

This is a very cute place, we found it as we were wondering thought the town of Solvang. This place was filled from head to toe of very lovely gift for friends and family.
We could find ourselves having some fun in this store if we lived closer, but we did enjoy our time here. So if you find yourself in the area, do stop by and enjoy this lovely store.

Cute place to browse on your day trip to Solvang. If I lived nearby I’d probably be in here every other month buying gifts for friends. And that’s what this place specializes in… gift ware… and LOTS of it. Definitely a «chick» place but hubby is good about tolerating my eccentricities. Not a lot that I’d actually buy for myself (frilly is NOT my style) but I always enjoy a quick look.

Imagine that you have a wealthy maiden aunt, eccentric if not downright crazy. She’s redecorating her massive bedroom in the manner of a fifties movie star, but it still looks like it was designed by a crazy old woman with too much money and too much time on her liver spotted hands.
Now, step up to the second floor of The Mole Hole and tell me that it doesn’t look exactly the fucking same.
Apart from its awesome if unfortunate name, The Mole Hole is a pretty keen place to window shop if not actually spend money; everything is in the fashion described above – be prepared for lace and marabou and tons of beads – and is, as such, pretty frickin’ dear.
The clientele is similarly precious; everyone here is exactly as I would like to be in fifty years (senile, glamorous, batshit crazy.)
If you don’t go expecting to buy anything, The Mole Hole is easily a five star place. The name is worth three stars alone. Still, I can’t give anywhere that sells $ 37 beaded napkin rings five stars (I’m not entirely without morals), so three point five stars, rounded to four stars because I’m in a terrific mood.
