Hobby Shops in Mission Viejo, CA

“If you're a fan of cute gifts, home items, accessories, and all sorts of sweet miscellaneous goods, this store is a must-visit!

One of my favorite sections is the stationery-adorable pens, erasers, pencil cases, and stickers that make any desk setup more fun. On this visit, my heart was completely stolen by fluffy magnetic keychains-so soft and charming!

The store also has a nice selection of tote bags, perfect for everyday use.

For plush toy lovers, there's an amazing variety from the Nintendo universe, including Koopa Troopas, Mario mushrooms, Luigi, Bob-omb, Boo, Yoshi, Princess Daisy, and more. If you're a Hello Kitty fan, you'll also find plushies featuring characters like My Melody, Cinnamoroll, Kuromi, and Pompompurin!

Beyond plushies, there’s a great range of plastic figurines, including anime collectibles. The homeware section is equally impressive, offering mugs, glasses, bowls, mugs with lids and figurines, teapots, and thermoses.

Overall, this store is a treasure trove of cute and unique finds!”

“Sam is the best. I am a newbie and was really hesitant to drop a lot of money. Sam asked me a bunch of questions and we settled on kill team for my play style and budget. I thought that was it but then he continued to teach me all about the different teams and what was easiest and the most fun. Finally when i picked The T'au Empire Sam talked me through a build. I was already blown away by his customer service but as I prepared to leave he shocked me again. Sam invited me back for a learn to play once I was built and gave me his card.

The L2P was great. Sam explained the rules in easy to swallow sections while teaching someone else about the 11th edition rules and managing customers. He was friendly and helpful to everyone.

Sam is an amazing ambassador to the game and should be recognized for his passion and helpfulness. I will be back again”

“I’m from NY and have visited this shop while visiting a friend who has moved out here. Of the two times I’ve visited I can tell the owners are passionate about gaming. Magic and Monsters has loads of singles, booster boxes, accessories, and collectibles for all the top games ( magic, yugioh, pokemon) the store is kept clean and doesn’t reek of nerd BO I’ve been all too familiar of smelling at other stores over the years. The owners were also robbed and still keep up a friendly positive attitude which I commend them for. Tournament prizing and sign-up prices are standard. Singles prices are also competitive with TCG Player . Good store for a visitor. Can’t speak on if it’s the same experience consistently however.”

“I absolutely love visiting Michal’s Arts & Crafts. Every trip is a great experience — the store is clean, well-organized, and always stocked with a wide variety of supplies for any project I’m working on. The staff consistently goes above and beyond with customer service, offering help and recommendations, I went for Halloween and pumpkin supplies. Whether I’m grabbing something simple or trying a new craft, Michaels is always my first choice. Highly recommend!”
