“I absolutely love this store! Thanks to them, I also enjoyed taking French classes. It’s a place full of everything you need—and so many unique treasures waiting to be discovered.”
“Jesse was very insightful and helpful. His kind and gentle spirit was welcoming. The store is quaint and colorful with a wide variety of spiritual offerings to satisfy any religious beliefs. It has a little bit of everything I needed to create a sacred prayer space. I had been looking for the right Ganesha and I found it here! I'm thankful I found this place. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a peaceful energy. I hope you enjoy the store as much as I.”

“01/20/24 My friend and I wanted to walk after a meal, so we walked 4th street. She is much older than me and has lived in this part of Long Beach for many years. I've walked by this store many times, my son used to live across the street for years, so why have I never stepped foot in here? I guess it's because of my upbringing. Palm readings and devil stuff are a no-no and it always used to scare me. I totally perceived this store wrong. They have themes in sections which I am obsessed with. Their organization is 10/10. All the sections have a little of everything. Stickers, pens, socks, bags, journals, ceramic figurines or vases. One theme is plants and on the front of a journal read 'Diary of a plant killer'. I found that hilarious because I am that person. There's a section of women empowerment items with a 5 pen set where some read 'mom, mama, mommy, mooooom' and 'welcome to the shit show'. I bypassed the Prince (purple rain) and other celebrity prayer candles and all things devil. Just not my jam. I did however love everything else. Overall 10/10. Great place for funny and clever themed gift items. I now know where to go for them.”
“OMG! We almost bought one of everything! There are so many different things in this shop. From the dream catcher designs and turquoise jewelry to the art work, trinkets, clothing, and so much more. A picture is worth a thousand words so I’ll share some pix. I highly recommend this store. We didn’t want to leave it, but we found a ton of stuff we left with. Definitely want to visit here again.”
“Interesting selection for visitors. Friendly & helpful staff readily answering our questions they've probably heard a thousand times. Thanks for the souvenirs!”
“I have had the pleasure of shopping at T's since before Joy put bamboo walls in the loo. GBYJ and Blessings to Soul & family for such a fun and quality shop!!! Glad you are still here!!!”
“We were Looking for a particular item for my son’s birthday and CLAUDIA gladly helped us, took her time to look for it and help us to order online. I hope everyone works like this, she obviously loves what she does and very knowledgeable to her store, thanks Claudia.”
“I LOVE this metaphysical gift store store, they are really hard to find these days. Everything from incense to candles to fun socks, jewelry, stones, you name it, they probably have it. The worker was very sweet too. I'll be back! ”
“I love this place so much! Cool anime items you can buy! Friendly staff! And you got japanese and bts and etc stuff! Bit small but still a welcoming place, i go here at least every week like 3-5 times, you’ll see me with my friends!”
“This is a very fine , non-profit store. The staff is mostly volunteers and are extremely helpful. Most of the merchandise is hand-made...The vibe is very positive in this store. There is something for everyone...I bring friends here every chance I get. If you are in the Riveria Village, it's a must stop.”
“Omg what a great experience I had today I didn’t catch her name, but the gal who worked here was very patient and kind to me (a nervous CD girl, one of my first times out). She was very kind and walked me through some options, made me feel totally comfortable and welcomed. It was an empowering visit, I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Great selection and prices. Thank you for being such a great part of the Long Beach community!”

“Make this your permanent gift shop. Absolutely charming. Books. Home Goods. Toys. Linens. Cards. The most well curated and appointed gift shop I have seen. It has a worldly flair but one can see the heart of Paris and parts of Europe that you would only get if you traveled. Gifts for yourself and others of all ages. Everything has a meaning. It's not far from LA. It's worth the time. Enjoy Malaga. Get a coffee. Say hi to a few people. Look at the ocean. And enjoy this shop of wonders for all ages.”
“Love this place! We get the majority of our client appreciation gifts here and love the turn around, service and ideas that Katie helps us come up with! Highly recommended!”

“My new favorite store! I could easily spend my whole paycheck in an hr here. Yesterday I purchased a candle with real amethyst crystals in it for added relaxation, let them eat cake hand cream which makes you want to eat your own fingers, a beautiful sun hat, etc. I will be back next week. This store has diverse, one of a kind pieces. I also purchased a bowl made by a local artist from sea glass ? The staff is lovely, the pieces can't be found elsewhere, and I promise there is something for everyone!”

“I recently discovered about this shop. and it's great. Lovely tiny gifts, including the nicest cards and mugs and elegant soaps. From now on, I'll be coming here. I believe the owner is the lady that works there because she was so extraordinarily lovely.”
“LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. They have the best card selection in Redondo Beach. I especially love their Bald Guy Greetings. So funny. So smart. So honest.
-Ian from Bald Guy Greetings (winky face emoji)
But seriously, the store is amazing and the owners are fantastic. Shout out to Kim and Lilah! #SupportSmallBusiness”
“So many adorable and unique gifts from local small businesses and makers! Trendy, modern interior with checkerboard floor. The owner is friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend this shop if you need a one of a kind handmade gift!”
“A good source for non-commercial locally made soaps & oils. I especially love the lavender spray. It is better than products I typically buy directly from lavender farms. So glad to have this shop in the neighborhood!”
“I love shades of Africa, from the atmosphere to Ms. Renee being so welcoming. The products are amazing. Most stores if not all when you go in to purchase items such as hair products or skin products they can only be used for those specific things. With the many handmade products at Shades of Africa there may be a description such as hair oil or body wash but they can be used all over and I love that. You get quality products! I pick up products in stores and wonder why all of those harmful ingredients are needed to make things as simple as lotion or body wash, it’s not necessary. I can shop here and not have to worry about about any cancer causing chemicals or harsh dyes. You’re also helping out many small black owned businesses even some from other countries such as Kenya. I get majority of my skin, body, and hair care products and will continue to do so. I love being able to support small black owned businesses and I’m grateful to have found a store that sells amazing natural products.”
“Excellent card shop, friendly staff and even friendly customers, one card trader gave my little 4 year old son his first ever cards...Michael Jordan card worth $400, Steph Curry and Lebron inserts as well. Made our day :)”
“LoVe to visit Max’s Shop, this is my go to place for essential spiritual goods. As well as a jewelry & clothing. If you haven’t been there, do yourself a favor. Experience the Village Treasures. ❤️??”
“Very nostalgic for me. They have rocks and sea shells by the bag. Costume jewelry, and the ever important mood change necklaces. No mood ring though. Definitely drop in if you are walking Redondo Pier. The pirate ship store used to carry similar items but now apprars reduced and carries different tourist items.”
“We LOVE Gum Tree. The cafe is outstanding. Excellent, healthy, fresh, and always tasty bites. Coffee, espresso, chai, teas made to perfection. The baristas are sweet, cool and service is on point. Lori and hubby are awesome. Great patio to take in passersby. Local, non bougie. We love bringing our out of town friends/family and when they return Gum Tree is first on the list to revisit. That is not only because they love the cafe but because the shop is soooo wonderful. So many beautiful things. So beautifully curated. It feels good the moment you walk in. We always find the perfect gifts for any conceivable occasion.The jewelry is stunning. The home goods....!! Every year a new ornament, or two, for the tree. I love poking through even if I don't need anything.Looking forward to the Tree lighting in Manhattan Beach tonight and stopping into the MB shop (haven't been by yet) for some holiday cheer.Good on ya'”
