The Experience, Alameda: Whales & Friends

The Experience:

Elevate Your Life With A Trip To The Store For New Treasures!

Whales & Friends invites you to enjoy free gift wrapping and an eclectic mix of jewelry, educational toys, and books. You can enhance your home and lifestyle with fun, nature-oriented, and beautiful items from their collections. “We are so happy to see our customers again,” says co-founder Christine Gonsalves, “and they are so happy to see us and be out.” Their South Shore Center store is open Tuesday – Sunday 12noon – 7pm.

“We have hundreds of great jigsaw puzzles and new sterling silver with Swarovski Crystals jewelry. Sometimes we need a little sparkle!” continues Christine. This painting by the Russian artist Olga Suvarova has lush colors and beautiful details. It has been one of their favorite jigsaw puzzles for celebrating the Arts. There’s a vintage line for fun and learning a few things about bones, rocks and our National Parks. Whales & Friends has lots of puzzles on their FB page and you can order for curbside pickup at the door to their South Shore store from 12-7pm. If you want to browse the store, you will find whales and their friends in a beautiful airy atmosphere full of color and interest. There is so much square footage at the store, it is easy for customers to go in and stay over 6’ apart. Everyone in masks and sanitizer at the door. Also, free delivery in Alameda. 510-296-7229
