Q:
Do u guys have plush turtles and how much its cost?
A:
Can you please clarify if you mean a plush (stuffed animal) turtle? If so I do not have any at the moment. We change our selection frequently, and I do sometimes get plush turtles.

Okay I declare Cliff's one of the BEST stores n the Universe.
This is really my kind of store---so much stuff under one roof!
Greeting Cards and stationery!
Flags!
Masks!
Shower curtains!
Toys!
Craft materials!
Fabric!
Every kitchen knick knack you'll ever need!
Sewing, knitting and crocheting tools!
Key making!
Wigs, feathers, boas.
Hardware--nails, screws, hammers, etc
Pans, bakeware,
It'll boggle your mind.
If you were to up and down each aisle and look carefully at everything you might
have to spend the night.
The staff is friendly and helpful.
The ambiance is so clean, well-organized and well lit.
Plus I love the hardwood flooring---especially the creaks, makes me feel like I've gone back in time to the Woolworth stores of yesteryear.
Cliff's is where Retro and Modern live blissfully together!Helpful 6Thanks 0Love this 5Oh no 0Jul 16, 2012Previous reviewCliff's is the ultimate store for shopaholics like me!
If you're looking for toys, mini flags of the world, sewing and craft notions, pencils, pens, crayons, markers, cooking utensils, bowls, containers, nails, screws, tools. parasols, masks, kitschy gifts, greeting cards, fabric, a variety of ice cube trays,
knick knacks, paddywhacks and thousands of things you need or didn't know you needed--this is THE place.
They had at least 20-30 shower curtains with fun, plain or sophisticated designs.
Need a new thingy for your shower head to hold your soaps, shampoos, etc.
This place even got the approval of Mr. Rinky who is very discerning, "Wow this place really does have something for everyone!" This is very high praise coming from someone who commented on Daiso, "I've never seen so much crap in one place."
I was able to buy a jig saw puzzle, hedgehog nail brush, cookie cutters, a chocolate chip cookie coin purse----cute and so cool!
I could live in this store!!!
The staff there are very friendly. The sales clerk who helped me saw my Totoro key chain and started singing the Totoro song.
I'm glad Cliff's is across the Bay. I'd go there every day till I bought everything in the store! - Julia Q.San Diego, CA497535Jan 22, 2016
Very excellent customer service.
I recently called regarding their composition books and the man on the phone went to check back and forth for the books.
The people at Cliff's go out of their way to help you out.
It also feels great to support a local business.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Vik L.San Francisco, CA52254Sep 17, 2015
This is a most unique store where you find all kinds of stuff and the staff is great. Yesterday I lost my house key and it was a minute before they closed. The manager understood and got me a key.
Whenever I need anything absolutely anything from a hat to keys to silverware I furst go to Cliffs. The quality is good and stuff is unique. Not cheap stuff that everyone buys at one of the wals - walgreens or walmart !!
Love cliffs !!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Dec 25, 2011
Picture one of those general stores in an old western, but updated for contemporary needs and goods. Such is Cliff's Variety.
My first memorable experience for Cliff's was walking by it everyday around Halloween, seeing ridiculous "costumes" in the display window. From these windows, I really had no idea what was inside. All stores try to make money off Halloween, but Cliff's seemed to be doing it as somewhat of a joke.
Fast forward to the holiday season. I need a last minute white elephant gift. So last minute that I'm on my way to muni to get to the party. So I step in Cliff's for the first time. On my right there are several aisles of miscellaneous toys and games. Then the store transitions into holiday decorations, home goods, and gardening/outdoor tools. Really, it's a bizarre selection of stuff. But ultimately, I did find my white elephant gift: a deck of holographic playing cards.
I don't know if I'll ever come back here again. But I have to admire it's strange presence on Castro.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jan 23, 2016
Fun store to shop. They sell fabric and furry rugs cut to order, as well as a gazillion other home items you didn't realize you need. It's close to Castro Theatre and there is a parking lot on the same street, so it's super easy to get to.

where do i begin? Lots of both useful and kitchy products.
They have 2 parts next door to each other. One side has hardware and kitchen appliances, kids toys, and gardening supplies. The other has more interior decorations, bathroom furnishings, and fun items.
All the staff are very nice and helpful. It is definately a "variety" of things. for example, you can get a very nice espresso maker and a composting pot for your kitchen.... AND a pack of fake pink mustaches (i actually got the latter - see my photos).
it is a ton of cool stuff, all in your face, all at once. just go in.... you know you want to.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
