    Seaport Village is a very pretty place to shop. It's a collection of more than 65 shops, with everything from The Magnet Store, where everything was 4 for $10, to the Wyland Gallery, where you won't find any price tags.

    Located near the Gaslamp District, across from the Embassy Suites San Diego Bay hotel, its a great central location. As we were staying at the Embassy Suites, I visited twice. The second time was early in the morning while my husband attended his conference, and I went armed with a caramel coffee concoction, my video camera, and my digital. I couldn't have been happier! When I arrived the shops hadn't opened yet, so I wandered around, enjoying the quiet and solitude, and took lots of photos. By the time the stores opened, I was ready for some bargains, and found several things to bring home.

    There is a take out food area, as well as several nice restaurants overlooking San Diego Bay. They also have different musicians, magicians, and other items of interest.

    Another interesting attraction is a fully restored Looff Carousel, originally built in 1895 in Fairbank Texas. After 9 or 10 subsequent homes, it was moved to San Diego in 2004, where kids of all ages can ride.

    You name it, you'll find it at Seaport. Even if you don't you will definitely enjoy just walking around, taking in the Village atmosphere.

    Depends if you're in the Magnet store, or the Wyland Gallery!!

    I checked a gift shop to see if there were any shot glasses for Daddy. Instead, I found a couple of zoo key chains for Javier. Even if I hadn't found another key chain before I sent his Christmas collection, he would have been set right there.

    I also bought the sign you see in the warning & danger tip admonishing folks not to mess with the animals.

    Seaport Village offers a wide variety of speciality shops and several waterfront restaurants (visit web site for complete list).

    Free 2 hour parking with any purchase.

    Our personal favorite shop was the Wyland Galleries where you can see some of the most spectacular paintings, sculptures and photography of whales, dolphins, and manatees found anywhere.

    River is fashion inspired by a laidback, SoCal surf-skate lifestyle.

    Located in the community of Pacific Beach, River clothing store is located a couple of blocks from the Pacific Ocean in San Diego. With warm beaches and six college campuses within seven miles, Pacific Beach is a college town influenced by good surf, good skate and good looking people. This is the place professional skaters and surfers call home and where Hollywood often sends film crews down to shoot. Home of the famous Pacific Beach John Lennon Mural.

    The coolest surf and skate/streetwear brands are carried in this store, way to many to list. Womens and mens clothing, shoes and accessories.

    Blasting great tunes, the staff is friendly and laid back too. It's just a few blocks from the beach - so you can shop and play on the same day!

    Mid to lower priced - tops $15 and up, denim under $100, shoes about $30

    I just discovered a treasure chest of a clothing store after getting my everyday cup of coffee. This new boutique in North Park sells exciting new labels such as Cheap Monday, Evil Genius, and Miss Wax. They have rad tees, jeans, dresses, shades, and jewelry for girls AND guys. They also sell shoes, vintage, records, dvds, art, mags and more. Everything looks so original. They aren't even expensive either!....the designer jeans go for about 68?!?!....which is such a steal these days. Another plus is the super friendly staff--Mike the owner is a great guy, and Laura is very sweet as well. They are very friendly and can help you put together a great everyday outfit or something hot for a night on the town! Check it out while it's still a "secret" : 2927 Lincoln Ave (off of 30th), San Diego CA 92104...619-688-1038

    Funky sunglasses, original jewelry, high-waisted jeans, skinny jeans, vintage purses, unique hard to find magazines, vintage leather jackets, music dvds

    GREAT PRICES! the most inexpensive: 10 dollars. the most expensive: $98? you can walk away with so much!!
