“A must visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012 via mobile

Found Nifty Nic Nacs after my parents moved to Venice. It is a great unique experience. With fun products it is full of nostalgic energy. It is a stop for me anytime I am in Venice

“Laughs, fun and a trip down memory lane”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 22, 2012

On a recent evening stroll in downtown Venice husband and I were thrilled to find Nifty Nic Nacs open late. What an enjoyable visit. Lots of fun stuff and memorabilia, hilarious cards, magnets, Star Wars, Marilyn, etc. We bought a "must have" book and joke gift for a co-worker. It is rare to find a place that my husband likes...

We are so glad you discovered us! Yes, we do stay open later than the other shops downtown -- until 6:30. During the summer when it stays light later, we often stay much later until the people stop coming in. This can mean we're here until 8 or 9 o'clock at night! We hope you'll stop back in soon... day,... More

Great store with great stuff and cool ideas for gifts. Owner was very friendly & helpful. Good selection of old time candy as well. Made you feel like you were a kid again.

Thank you for using your valuable time to post a review of our store! Yes, our candy counter serves as a place to reminisce -- and salivate! LOL It often doubles as "the gossip fence" as well. We do have fun in here and are glad you got to be a part of it! Please come back soon -- and... More

“The Coolest Shop Downtown Venice By Far”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 30, 2012

If you are looking for a cool, retro gift, at a reasonable price you will find a goldmine in Nifty Nic Nacs. If you are in the Downtown area and you don't pop in you truly missed a gem!

“An oasis of retro fun in Venice!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 2, 2012

We found this little store stocked with unique, fun, retro items at reasonable prices. And owner Jeff was friendly and informative, providing helpful travel tips to sights around the area. We left with a bag full of goodies for ourselves and our hot-rodding family. If you are into a variety of fun, interesting and unique retro items, books, a first-class... More

Amazing shop that you cannot go to Venice without paying it a vist. We went in twice during our stay and bought items both times. Loved the paper wallets as did my son who we bought one for!

“Extremely unique little store on Venice Avenue”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 17, 2012

I absolutely love this shop in downtown Venice. The last time I was there, they had some perfume that caught my interest. It was some kind of honeysuckle perfume in a red and gold box with a western theme. I don't remember the name of it, and I have since used all of it, since this was quite some time... More

“Neat little shop!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 15, 2012

I grew up in Venice, and moved away 2 years ago to the San Francisco Bay area. I recently went back to visit and realized that this is the coolest shop in Venice. Lots of neat finds here, and the owner was super friendly! If I still lived in V~town I would shop here more frequently! Love it!
