Rare Device

I really love this place, and I always stop by when I go play video games like an addict next door at Emporium Arcade. They have the cutest greeting cards. Usually, I just look around and bank things in my memory as inspiration to create, but sometimes I splurge on gifts for my loves. The prices are decent and the quality is great. The employees are awesome. Good luck finding parking, though. 😆

This shop has a fun mix of artsy gems. Perfect for finding unique gifts or sprucing up your space. The vibe is super inviting, and it’s also an awesome spot for events. Love the Woman Life Freedom mural outside!

Adorable shop full of beautiful, whimsical things. A person working there helped me pick out the perfect gift for my design-minded friend--this gorgeous reversible glass vase-- who loved it! Also my favorite place to get cards for birthdays/holidays and such. Every time I walk by it, I feel lucky to have such a special shop in my neighborhood :-)

I adore this shop on Divisadero! Leland always welcomes with warmth and I always feel a wash of contentment and being truly welcome when I enter this space. Their selection rotates which I deeply appreciate—there’s always something new and bold to see and lust for whenever you visit. Thank you for bringing so much light and serendipity to the neighborhood, Rare Device! With love, Hayley

I pretty much get ignored every time i visit this shop. No hello, no eye contact, no good bye or thanks for visiting. Clearly they are capable of such service because I can see and hear how excited they are with customers of a specific origin. I love checking out kids stuff. I’ve visited the shop while in my work uniform (I work in the area) and in casual wear and every time I feel less then welcomed. Today I just got tired of it so 👍
