With over 95+ different stores and restaurants, you'll find the perfect gift for the fashionista on your list or that friend with a sweet tooth. Many of the stores at these locations offer gift cards, a practical idea for that someone who likes to choose their own gift.

If you are looking for something unique, head east toward Seaside.
