There is a very exciting "new" Indian restaurant in Downtown Campbell and they had the horrible luck of opening shortly before we all retreated into our Covid-19 caves. If you're looking to stave off boredom as the shelter-in-place continues, give Desi a try and place an order for pick-up.

If you do, remember to email a proof of purchase to VivaDTC@downtowncampbell.com to get entries into our monthly drawing for prizes.

Limited production and processed the orthodox way:

My pre QingMing teas have arrived! Plucked before the spring rains, the young leaves are typically fragrant and sweet. The attached photos show Zhu Ye Qing (Bamboo Leaf) so named because the tea plants are grown in an area that is abundant in bamboo; and Cui Luo (Jade Snail), which is grown at an altitude of 4000' in clay rich in iron.

Downtown Campbell's Mother's Day Gift Guide

Posted on May 2nd, 2020 by sheldon

Mother's Day is coming up on Sunday, May 10th. Sorry, we can't help you book a brunch for the mums in your life, but we do have some rather unique gifts that you can pick up or have delivered to show that you care while we're all sheltering in place. If you need a last minute gift to remind a mom that she's got the goods, here are some picks from some of your favorite shops in Downtown Campbell.

We might be living through a pandemic, but Mother's Day is still happening on May 10. Gasper Spadero, owner of Gasper's Jewelers, is sheltering-in-place but he wants to help you surprise the special woman in your life with something beautiful and elegant.

The shop on Alvarado Street is closed, but Gasper is now taking phone orders for his top-selling Ever-Lasting Hand-Dipped 24k Gold Roses as well as jewelry such as diamond earrings, pendants, and bracelets that will make any mama smile.

Please phone Gasper at 831-594-2773 to discuss your order and place your deposit. (Be sure to leave a message if he's not able to pick up the phone when you call.) Having provided high quality jewelry designs in Monterey since 1989, he can help you find just the right gift.

The future of Bamboo Reef Dive Shop is around the corner! We're working on converting more and more classes to our online platform, and hope you'll join us. From the comfort of your home, you can attend a number of specialty classes allowing you to explore the underwater world and discover what lies beneath.

Coming soon: Enriched Air Nitrox 32; SSI Marine Ecology; SSI Shark Ecology; SSI Sea Turtle Ecology; and California Fish Identification. Visit our website to learn more about these online classes.
