Gift Shops in Long Beach, CA

“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.”

“Absolutely incredible business! I ordered a Jelly Cat plush from their website and overall I have to just say their attention to detail is insane! My item came packaged very beautifully with a lovely handwritten note and even a freebie! I was even called and notified of when my order would be shipped and they asked whether or not I wanted it to be gift wrapped which was for sure a nice touch because a lot of businesses don’t put that much love into what they do but this company definitely does! 11/10 I recommend this company!”

“I love this place! The prices are amazing especially for fair trade items! They have a great selection of fair trade products. Whenever I shop here I feel welcomed and Theresa is alsways super helpful”

“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.”

“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!”

“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!”

“AbsolutelySo much to see. The sweetly small but well mechanized shop with more than you can imagine. I’ll say just thisIF XOUR LOOKING FOR ANYTHING IN THIS GENRE OF LOVE AND LIGHT AND BALANCE OF WELL BEING WHETHER IT BE FOR YOURSELF OR ANOTHER THIS IS TTE SPACE YOU FIND IT AND I BELIEVE THAT ACQUIRING ANY IN ANY WAY SHOULD BE IN A SPACE THAT OFFERS A SAFE PRACTICE AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT CONES GROM GOODNESS AND KINDNESS TOWARDS CLIENTELE.The first time I walked into the fabric, I didn’t know anything I knew I was looking for incense and that was it. I’d seen other things. I’m not in a profession that has the necessities to buy most of this, but as educated about anything, you may come to love it And that education pulls you in I don’t need to practice this as profession or but acquiring items because you’re drawn to them for me it’s because of education if someone tells you simply or an in a way that helps you identify with this object or item and what it can do and not do for you and how it will make you feel The person delivering that information has to be genuine, and there is absolutely no way would’ve felt that continuity of kindness and generosity of store shopkeeper like I’ll have to come back and edit this cause I can’t remember his name I feel dreadful I can’t remember his name, but I will come back and editI want to say his name is Gerald?anyway -pop in shop here if it’s not for you it’s not for you, but I know there’s something in there that will speak to you and if you don’t know about it, but you’re drawn to it by its beauty or what it smells like or the shape of the color just asked this young man he’ll definitely know.I don’t necessarily need much but if I drop in on my way or on my way back from one place or another I’ll say this a quick HELLO it will never beI am really compelled to learn about something and then I-buy I’ll add photos as well”

“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!”

“Special order for a necklace repair. She quoted me low, I said it seemed low, she did a great job and the price stayed low. Nice people there, super cute store, I got nothing but good things to say.”

“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!”

“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!”

“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. ❤️??”

“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!”

“Just popped in to get a gift for my gf's father's birthday. The staff was very welcoming and quickly showed me the selection of bracelets. They even provided a very nice (free) gift wrapping of my purchase and a gift receipt just in case. Luna has everything from jewelry to home decor so if you are looking for something with tasteful style I highly recommend stopping by and checking them out.”

“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.”

“I had the Korean BBQ dish at Hilton Long Beach and it was absolutely incredible.
The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and the meat was cooked to perfection - tender, juicy, and full of authentic taste.
The presentation was beautiful and it felt like a true fine-dining experience.
Chef Fabian Galvez’s creativity and attention to detail made this dish unforgettable.
Definitely a must-try for anyone visiting the restaurant!”
