Brooke from San Francisco

About me Hello there! I work for a non-profit that supports the Golden Gate National Parks. In this role, I often come across visitors and love to encourage them to explore, not only parts of San Francisco, but our well-known park sites that offer so much beauty and history as well! I love engaging with visitors and locals, seeing what interests them. You can learn a lot about people and I’v...

Foggy Notion San Francisco

Find your vibe here

""Foggy Notion" in San Francisco is a small woman-owned shop that's a calming oasis. Find your favorite ceramics, eco-friendly home goods, candles & more!"

Do you believe in love at first sight? I’m not sure it exists on a romantic level, but I can tell you that I had such an affection for a store from when I first laid eyes on it, much like when you're first dating someone and you're attracted instantly and the person gets you and your vibe.

Let’s get to it! I’m talking about a gem of a store called Foggy Notion, folks. It’s a woman-owned small business perfectly placed in the Inner Richmond avenues. This shop feels like a calming oasis that will offer you thoughtfully chosen products. Here you will find beautiful ceramic goods, stained glass pieces, eco-friendly home goods, non-toxic candles, handbags, jewelry and more! I’m partial to the tie-dye socks and rainbow-striped underwear, myself. I absolutely love the warm, zen aesthetic of the floor space. It inspires me to go home and decorate my room to make it as peaceful as possible.

Foggy Notion is my go-to gift shop for any occasion. Every experience is delightful and I get genuinely excited about new products. I recently purchased a palo santo face mist to block out negative energies and I love the smell and the purpose of it. Come check out Foggy Notion and enjoy the friendly space. Alissa, the owner, will be there and is so warm and helpful. They do lovely gift wrapping as well. I have a sneaky feeling you will fall in love with Foggy Notion too.
