The Craft store my Daughter and I was looking for is Thoughtful Crafts. Here is what I think went wrong. We used my Husbands iphone to look up Crafts and that is how we found Thoughtful Craft. We should have gone the next step of looking at Thoughtful Craft’s website. Don’t laugh, but they are a graphic design company. I just found that out by googling their name.
But, we did find Cliff’s Variety store. Right in the middle of Castro is this wonderful store. Cliff’s is part hardware store, gift store, toy store and craft store. It’s the kind of place where you can get salt and pepper shakers but not just any s&p shakers. They have them in bunny form, penguin form, and bear shaped. They also have wigs. Wall decals. Stain remover. And very surprised puffer fish.
Do you want some unusual ceral bowls? They have these bunny and monkey bowls at Cliff’s. Besides being cute these bowls are plastic. I like this because I tend to break things.

I really enjoy the very surprised puffer fishes. I have the bunny/strawberry bowls as porcelain rice bowls purchased from a Longs Drugs. They’re my favourite.
You can also get those kinds of things at Marukai in San Diego too
