Palm Springs is Film
I would wager that Palm Springs has more film festivals per capita than anywhere else in the world. Most everyone knows about the Palm Springs International Film Festival that has been taking place for almost 30 years every January.
Palm Springs: Foodie Town
For those of you that remember the not-so-old days when good restaurants were few and far between in Palm Springs; when getting a meal past 8:30 pm was virtually impossible and when “big food” (a lot of food for little money) was the key….you might be surprised to know that Palm Springs is rapidly become a foodie haven.

In the patterns of many Destination PSP products, especially those form our Sunmor collection of melamine, ceramic, placemats and more you’ll find recurring patterns of simple squares and rectangles with interior designs.

“ Great little stop in downtown Palm Springs!
If you’re looking for an iconic Palm Springs souvenirs or piece of memorabilia, this is the spot. The tissue boxes are the perfect gift for anyone who loves and appreciates not only mid venture modern architecture, but also the spirit of the era that put Palm Springs on the map as an old Hollywood destination oasis. ”

“ Cool mid-century-themed gift shop. Usually have a fun selection of Beach towels and swimwear, plus it's a cool place to get unique gifts/souvenirs. They also have a fun little collection of mid-century and Palm Springs books and magazines. ”

“ Came in the first day you opened & haven't stopped! Always attentive & friendly staffed. Fun & unique items added often! The mid century homes/camper tissue holders are such a hit with friends & family. I've sent them all over the world & even better they're California made! Thanks for a easy one stop shop for the perfect gift or treat for myself! Shop local! ”

“ We love Destination PSP. We've bought most of the stuff in the store. It's packed with beautifully designed Palm Springs-branded merchandise, clothing and other mid-century modern accessories. Many of their products are even locally made; we just picked up a couple of ultra-cool tissue box covers in the style of modern houses that were made locally. Great store; would definitely recommend for anyone who likes mid-century modern style or wants Palm Springs-branded clothing that's a step above a tacky t-shirt shop. ”

“ I enjoyed discovering Destination PSP this time around while in Palm Springs. Great store to explore, fun, cool merchandise, not your regular souvenir, but cool, nice designed ones. Fun t-shirts, towels, totes, mugs. Great reproductions of posters from Palm Springs International Film Festival that would make a nice art addition to your wall. Cool books and DVD-s dedicated to the area. Palm Springs needed a modern store like this, it so fits the area. Great customer service. You can get fun gifts here or souvenirs that would ad something cool to your place! ”

“ This is a GREAT shop if you're looking for affordable midcentury modern accent pieces! We were also happy to see a fun little local business that stayed open a bit after hours for us late-comers, so we could get a look around - thanks so much guys!! We only get to town from San Diego county once every couple of months, so our shopping time is limited (we're hoping to order from your website, since we're back home now). We loved the wall of items to raise money for local non-profits - what an excellent idea, and perfect for the community. We will be placing an online order, telling all of our friends about your store, and be back to say hi real soon!! ”

“ This is unfairly categorized as a souvenir shop, but it's so much more than that. This place feels like the storefront for all things Palm Springs: friendly helpful people in the staff, colorful gifts to take home and give away, clean modernist styling everywhere, and expertly curated selection of clothes, cards, housewares, posters, etc. I stop in here every time I visit Palm Springs, and I always leave with at least a smile - make this a destination on your downtown walkabout! ”
