“Rami and Jessica were amazing! They accommodated my needs for our wedding at a very reasonable price and had really good communication. I’d definitely recommend them to others looking for Judaica.”
“I was able to purchase several beautiful pieces through the mail with minimum hassle, but the best part (well, almost!) was working with Tristan. He is down to earth, warm and provided exceptional customer service. I will definitely keep an eye out for future offerings!”
“Very nice place! I bought the brand new first press album first love by utada hikaru!The Owner is very friendly, when I came back here the second time,he just back from buying lunch,very interesting,if I have second chance to come here I will buy the sheena Ringo on the side?”
“This is a really cool gift shop with tons of interesting and unique books on art, queer culture, and the history of Los Angeles. They also sell tons of blind boxes (including Sonny angels), socks, candy, gift cards, and different stationery options.”
“Lots of options at the museum store. They have expensive detailed models made for collectors, to cheap toy cars for less than 10$ each. They also have some apparel, decals, books, etc. All related to automobiles. There were some things that were priced up more than what they were worth, if you look up some things they’re selling online you’ll find them to be cheaper there. But you know, if you buy here you’re supporting the museum, so… Unfortunately I didn’t find anything that caught my eye but still an interesting collection. Overall, 4/5.”

“Visited this store last year. They sell many various authentic items from Nepal and India. The owner was very welcoming and had a great open discussion with me about the shop and the cultural items they sell. I enjoyed the hospitality there. Will come again in the future.”

“I think this is the closest I’ll get to holding hands with my bias and I took plenty of time doing so. The store was not busy when I went and it was nice seeing all the art from BTS and the merch.”
“Such a cool place! I could spend hours in this store going through the ever-changing items of wide variety. I found several things I didn’t know I needed and now I have and love! To boot, by supporting this business, you’re supporting women-owned businesses, with ethically sourced items. Definitely check out this LA shopping gem with cool people and great music!”
“We had a great experience working with the Gifted team. They bought our Green Grass Bunny Decorations, Recycled Paper Bunny Shaped Baskets, and Red & White Check Napkins from us. Be sure to stop in!”
“Accidentally wandered in here and discovered such a gem! Everything in here is so cute and it was being run by the person who also creates everything, so I got to tell her how cute her stuff is! Walked out with a ton of stickers and some cute little mugs.”
“Came across this store called 3D Crystal while walking through Westfield Mall and it’s really interesting. They take photos and turn them into glass crystal pieces and other keepsakes.
You can have almost any picture put into a crystal, and they offer different sizes and styles. Some can be made into necklaces, sculptures, or decorative pieces. The detail is really nice.
One of the coolest things is the display pieces that seem to turn and follow you as you walk past them. It’s a very unique effect and definitely catches your attention.
If you’re looking for a personalized gift or a special way to preserve a photo, this is a fun place to check out.
Not a critic, just sharing how it felt.”
“Minimalist Japanese design meets home goods and stationery. The products are simple but beautiful—ceramics, pens, and textiles. A bit pricey, but you’re paying for craftsmanship. The vibe is quiet and curated. Great spot if you appreciate thoughtful design”
“This place is an absolute treasure. In an era when unique gift shops are disappearing, Emmy always manage to curate a delightful and quirky collection of things you never knew you needed. Best Snarky card collection in town, and the windows are always fun! Congrats on 16 Years Emmy!”

“Bunkado feels wonderfully fragile in the most beautiful way, as if every object inside carries a quiet history that could be lost if not handled with care. The soft glow of lantern light, aged wood-paneled walls, and delicately arranged ceramics create an atmosphere that invites slow movement and mindful attention. Nothing feels rushed or disposable; each item appears to rest exactly where it belongs, with intention and respect. The narrow aisles and glass cases heighten that sense of vulnerability, reminding you to look closely and move gently. There’s a calm stillness to the space, as though time softens once you step inside. Shopping here feels more like entering a living archive than a store. You leave with a quiet appreciation, as if you’ve briefly held something precious and timeless.”
“Bought a little Kita figure for a friend here. Price was lower than another place nearby for the same thing. Seemed to be a well organized store overall, which was nice.”
“Had an amazing experience with T. He fit me for a gorgeous 14k gold toe ring. He made it sized perfect for me. Can’t say enough good things about him.
And yes. It’s 2025 and people still wear toe rings.
Love my toe ring!”
“I LOVE this place!! I've never been able to get any Arknights merch even at anime expo. So seeing it here was so awesome. A lot of genshin stuff too if you're into that. I'm an avid cat girl fan and a LOT of the stuff they have here are cat girls so this place was literally heaven.”
“After many years of being aware of Giant Robot I was finally able to visit. I was not disappointed. So much creative art, toys and items for sale. I met the owner and he’s a very cool guy. I’ll be back.”
“Just leaving the shop now. Hilda helped me and she’s the sweetest. I recently completed my last improv class, and tonight we have a class show. Well, it also happens to be our instructor’s birthday so the class decided we would get her a surprise bouquet to celebrate. I had no clue what I was looking for but Hilda put together an incredible arrangement for me. And to think I almost went to TJs!”
“Came in looking for some Strawberry Shortcake Mystery Pens and I FOUND THEMM!! I was super excited!!

“I love this shop!
Wonderful whimsical pieces for the home and never boring.
I am a licorice fan! Their candy; selections are
Fun to look at, better to taste!”
“Clean store, many options to buy, and I did walk down a few more blocks and I saw better prices. The employeesdid not talk much so friendliness was not on their list for the day. Pretty much the whole strip has the same things.”

“The lady that rang my order up was SUPER nice and she immediately asked me if my purchase was a gift so she can wrap it up. Also at the entrance they have a shelf that you can put your food or beverages on which I love and this more stores should implement this. The store overall was very nice and well kept. I loved the various items and trinkets that you will find difficult finding anywhere else.”
“This is a beautiful shop at Ave. I and Catalina.. look for the best window display in the Riv and you found it. They have a variety of gifts and special items that will feed the peaceful, harmonious, positive energy we all can use more in our lives and spaces. Anything from whimsical gifts to crystals, stones, singing bowls.. when their customers walk out they look happier and more content then when they walk in. Visit and support this local gem... it will bring good vibes and happiness to your day. The owners are very nice people that are happy to help you and are always curating and stocking interesting and unique items. You will not find this quality and service online.. you have to come in.. and it isn't that bad.. right on the beach surrounded by great dining options. There are a couple free parking spaces in the alley off Catalina and plenty of metered parking.”
“This is a lovely shop with beautiful house plants, artistic & stylish gifts & a warm welcoming vibe. I love to see sweet Chester, the shop dog when I visit. Visiting this creative space is worth a trip to this unique Hollywood {near West Hollywood} neighborhood.
All the flowers, All the Stars.”
“I love this shop. Beautiful items including jewelry, crystal pieces, scents, and other inquire items. The shop owner is always very friendly and helpful. Great place to shop for gifts or indulgences for yourself!”
