Zanzibar Trading

By far, Sacramento's finest eclectic and extraordinarily curated gift shop! It was sooo egzoiting! It's like entering a museum indeed (the howlite I bought even came with a personalized info card). All their treasures come with that je ne sais quoi character (like the Pre de Provence Honey Almond bar soap).and their quintessential mineral showcase (finally got a good chunk of selenite charging block ) par excellence! Zanzibar Fair Trading Co is the perfect one-stop-shop for collecting (even my quirky kid found the cutest octopus and scorpion charms) and gifting (a San Judas Tadeo keychain for my mother's birthday).Bravo!

I love coming in here and looking at all the stuff. It's a great place to explore other cultures. I treat it as half museum half store. Every piece is fairly traded and there's a story behind every piece. When you enter, you RING the doorbell. Someone will be there to open the door for you. Staff are always very nice. There is a section for Buddhism, African art, Oaxacan/Mexican art, Indian/Nepalese/Tibetan art, Japanese, Chinese, and Russian art, crystals, incense, greeting cards, sage, jewelry and honestly art from random places around the world.

It's a good gift shop too. Some of their pieces are also featured across the street inside Tower Cafe! So when you're waiting in line, you can hop on over here. I'm a big fan of shopping small businesses, especially ones that are fair trade and have a wide selection and are friendly. Take my money!

Beautiful crystals, positive energy, artsy things from all over the world, & big singing bowls, all fair trade. Just a peaceful place to go. I feel better from just being in there. The people are friendly and I always find unique things.

Love this place, looks small but is bigger once inside. Lovely displays and very friendly staff. Lots of crystals, stones, African art and more. Definitely worth a stop. They also wrap gifts!

Cute multicultural shop. Their previous location was in midtown for years and they just recently moved over to Broadway and into a much bigger shop. They have everything from Mexican, African, Indian, and Asian items all throughout the store. Definitely recommend stopping by here.

I love all their unique gifts and items. Their items are all fair-trade and one-of-a-kind. Their new location on Broadway is way bigger than their old location. It is more spacious which allows them to display more items. They follow the guidelines with sanitizers and limiting capacity and also allows appointments. They also do live sales on Facebook which is a lot of fun.

The owners and workers are all very nice and knowledgeable of their products. Scott can tell you the story for each and every product they have--and boy do they have great back stories on their products. I've bought fossils, unique gemstone jewelries, garden items, incenses, and other not easy to find items like antique Tibetan singing bowls. Their prices correspond to the uniqueness of their items, especially jewelry and gemstones. And if you are gifting any items, TAKE ADVANTAGE of Zanzibar's gift wrapping service--even if it's just for you! We all deserve to unwrap gifts They're worth the visit!

Absolutely wonderful shop. Great selection of crystals, jewelry, artwork, everything! Can spend hours in this store. A must visit. Staff is first class.

Very cool shop with decorations and goods from different countries. They have different rooms in the store and each one is dedicated to a country. From Asia, Africa, India and Latin America. They have a huge selection of beautiful stones and gems from around the world.

Love this store. Good location on the Main Street downtown Sacramento. Very well organized and clean. Great energy and beautiful products. Love the stones the statues so much to see. The people that work there are very helpful and also they have info sheets printed for the items you buy which is great if you collect stones. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable I like that.

It's 5 stars mainly for the variety of things that could be found at Zanzibar Trading Company. I am not going to bother to describe everything they have - would take me ages, but I uploaded 19 pictures here, so that can help. As for prices - not sure. I am not really "into" all that, so it's hard for me to judge. Go see for yourself :
