I have discovered a new favorite store-- COST PLUS WORLD MARKET!!!

I don't know why, but I used to turn my nose up whenever I went by Cost Plus because I thought it was just a bunch of junk. However, a new one just opened up at Fremont Hub so I thought hey why not, and SJ and I took a quick look. Wow, I LOVE it! There are so many cute things that are actually of good quality. Dishware, furniture, kitchen stuff, bath stuff, wine, gift wrap, and all sorts of snacks, condiments, oils, jams, tea, coffee (they sell the same espresso that we have at work), and more. I was so tempted to go crazy but I limited myself to one purcahse of Loackers Tiramisu wafer cookies.

If you're in need of a housewarming present or any other type of gift, I highly recommend checking out Cost Plus.
