“Such a cute fun store--a real gem in the city of Monrovia! I always find something new every time I come in here. I often need a gift and this is the first place I come. So many beautiful pieces of jewelry, wonderful candles, great table decor. I can always find what I need at Charlie's house. Kristin is kind and thoughtful and will help you find the perfect gift. You can find special gifts here that you can't find anywhere else and the prices are great!”

“I've ordered from this location several times and decided to pay a visit as I was passing through California. I'm so glad I did. I was able to purchase a Hangyodon plush in person. This store has every character in stock with the exception of Usahana. She seems to sell out quickly. They are an officially licensed Sanrio store so you know you will also be purchasing items from Japan as well. This is one of the few Sanrio stores that is super organized and very easy to shop. Glad we made the visit.”

“Best cultural center with many activities. They have a festival that is FREE to to all for all. The next one is October 15th, 2023. The knowledge wisdom and love is felt and there are soooo many beautiful things to explore. Its a cultural center, store and a museum in one place.”

“One helpful thing about the store use that it was arranged by topic. If the Japanese garden was your main interest, one section was devoted to it. It made finding books on herbs vs art history very easy to find. It was also very well-stocked. The herbal book we purchased, as well as the art book, we're of high quality. The staff were also very kind.”

“Savor the Flavor in Sierra Madre is a delightful discovery we stumbled upon during the Village Winter fair. This cozy gift store is a treasure trove of unique Christmas gifts, showcasing an enchanting array of distinct plates, captivating books, and delectable snacks.Among the many treasures, the cheese plate gift we found for a friend was a standout choice, displaying the store's commitment to offering thoughtful and distinctive presents. However, what truly captured our attention was the diverse collection of books lining the shelves. From specialized titles like the "gut health recipe book" to engaging children's literature, the store catered to a wide range of interests and preferences.One book that left a lasting impression was Julie Small's "The Battle of Big Worries." This remarkable book ingeniously tackles the topic of managing anxiety through the endearing characters of Polly, a child facing worries, and her trusty companion, a penguin. Small masterfully weaves a tale that not only engages young readers but also provides valuable insights and coping mechanisms for handling anxiety.The heartfelt illustrations beautifully depict Polly's journey, capturing the emotions and challenges she faces alongside her supportive penguin friend. This unique approach helps children relate to and better understand the complexities of managing their worries, making it an invaluable resource for parents seeking to support their child's emotional growth.”

“Ordered an arrangement on valentines day morning to be delivered (yeah I'm that guy). Wound up driving to pick up order around 6PM since I was worried it wasn't going to get delivered. Staff was very kind and helpful in spite of the craziness. Quickly found my order under a valentines day avalanche of flowers and fancy fruits and sent me on my way. Wife and daughter loved it.”

“Just bought a backpack from here. Really cute, kind of pricey, but it looks like it's a good quality so we'll see. This store is upstairs across from cotton on. Closer to the foodcourt”

“1st time there and the lady was very helpful. She went out of her way to help me over the phone and in person. Finding envelopes for my wedding invitations. Such a great customer service. Definitely coming back to support her business. Thank you”

“Ive been shopping with spitefire since I was 14yrs old. Owners are sooooo down to earth and remember me every single time I go in. Super friendly, everything in their store is top quality, great products. No complaints, worth the drive, reasonable too !!! Highly recommend, sorry it took me so long to write a review long over due !!”

“The store is astonishing, with something new to discover around each corner. The art and crafting are exquisite (and surprisingly affordable), and Erica impressed me with her knowledge, generosity and deep understanding (and explanation) of the spiritual roots of the pieces on display. Thank you so much for giving your time and patience to a poor, adrift Kiwi, and for sharing the treasures of your home with me. No puedo esperar para visitar la ciudad de mexico ahora. Mauruuru koe mo nga mea katoa, e hoa.”

“My kids and I love Simply Fresh. It's truly one of my favorite local stores. It's the sweetest little boutique shop with unique and timeless gifts. They have cards for all occasions, cute party decorations, the most adorable little section for baby clothes, books and stuffed animals, little trinkets for arts and crafts, and an array of feminine gifts from soap bars to aprons to cook books and more. Oh, and the variety of candles are endless. I just love this store. It gives cute English cottage aesthetic, and is always playing the best music - from jazzy rifts to French ballads. I also want to note that the people working here, especially the owner, are very friendly! The layout is small but they've made the most of the space so you may not initially see them or be greeted right away, but for me as a little bit of an introvert, that was absolutely fine!”

“We were here over 10 years ago with my sister & I, was looking for a gift giveaway after my mother's funeral. Cause everything at Rose Hills was so expensive even the little gifts giveaway. These store is just small but has a lot of Excellent Gift Giveaway Religious Precious Items. That's worthy to give to our precious family & friends. Freddy the owner who's always attentive & give excellent service! And if you want something in mind , not in his store @ the moment he will pull out his books we're he orders & try to get it for you. And the best of all create a custom rosary if your requesting a certain beads on your special rosary. Since he left us a lasting impression, my family & I needed a precious religious gift items to give away saddened to say for after my son's funeral we want to give to our precious family & friends who helped us get though theses darkest times of our life. We found these Beautiful Memories Sign In book with Mother Mary, Baby Jesus & Angel's. Loved the rosaries for our gifts giveaway. Highly recommend:)”

“My wife and I have been looking for some fun nautically themed bathroom items for our summer home, and they seriously had everything we were looking for. We love the ocean and marine mammals, so it was great when we found tons of decorative items inspired by whales, dophins, sea turtles, etc. We strongly recommend! 10/10”

“Great place to get Ionized Alkaline water. You can go up to 11.5ph.This place has been in the water business for years and has the experience needed.Most places use filters to make Alkaline water. This place has $5,000 Ionizers that make Ionized Alkaline water. Big difference. At $1 per gallon, that’s cheap compared to $1.50-$2.00 for filter made Alkaline water instead of Ionized.”

“Super simple place (no frills), but Nancy addresses everything you need regarding the clothing you bring her and how to alter them. I didn't leave confused about what to expect when I picked up the dresses. Super fair prices (per dress only $10 for a hemming and $15 to sew in a new slip plus small alteration on straps), cash only, and quick turnaround. I came here pretty desperate to get three bridesmaid dresses hemmed. Nancy was amazing at addressing my needs and concerns with the dresses. She said some of them could do with a slight alteration at the straps and even explained if we wanted to get a longer slip how to make that possible. She explained what type of fabric we would need and how she could sew that in. We went with just the hemming, but, later, I decided to try to add the slip and bought some fabric at JoAnn's. I went back to Nancy to see what she thought and she said "no problem." So easygoing and straightforward. I got my dresses back last week and they look great! One note-- I was kind of concerned after reading the reviews since I don't speak Chinese, but I had no problems at all! Nancy is on the shy, soft-spoken side, but has no problem communicating about the alteration.”

“The moment you step in, there's a cozy vibe that makes you want to explore everything they have. What sets this store apart is the incredible range of handcrafted items - from cool home decor to beautiful jewelry and textiles. Each piece has its own story, showcasing the talent and cultural richness behind it. The fact that they're all about fair trade adds a special touch. It feels good to know that your purchase is making a positive impact on artisans worldwide. The volunteers is not just friendly; they genuinely love what they do. They're happy to share stories about the artisans and give you insights into how everything is made. Whether you're after a unique gift or something to spice up your home, Ten Thousand Villages has got you covered. I love the authentic feel, the variety, and the fact that it's all about ethical values. It's my new favorite spot, and I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys handcrafted treasures with a purpose.”

“Really cute shop! The kind of shop you can browse in for hours because there are so many unique things. Great for buying gifts for my friends or for myself. Highly recommend!”

“I love, love, love this cute gift shop. Alfredo and Danny are awesome and so sweet this is my go to place for prefumes and gifts. I've also referred a few coworkers and say the same about this place. For all your gift needs come here you won't be disappointed.”

“This location has very very nice things and a very wide selection of stationary and trinket boxes , pens , accessories, plush dolls etc and lounge fly wallets and backpacks. Customer service is very nice and helpful, even though I did not buy anything yet as I am still deciding on what I will buy I will definitely be back to this location because this has been the best Sanrio store I've been to so far for their variety of items . Most Sanrio stores I have been to have been very non impressive as they offer too many plush toys and hardly any items that really make sense for the price.”

“They have a lot of stuff. The staff was nice and I didn't have worry too much about looking for gifts. It's a little pricey but they have really cool gifts for your average n***”

“So this store has a great selection of anime figures. The down side is that they are rather pricey. Although they are pricey it's not as bad as other stores I've gone too were figures are $50+ their normal price. The staff there is friendly. They have alot of cute plushies aswell. If for some reason you can't find a specific figure in hot topic, box lunch or any other authorized anime merch retailer then this place is definitely worth checking out. Yes it's pricey but not as bad as other places.”

“One of the best thing about this gift shop is the variety of things they carry from Jansport backpacks, hello kitty, minecraft, dragonball, naruto, pokemon, etc. Their prices are affordable and the quality of the merchandise is great! Would visit this place again.”

“Loved everything in store!! I really wanted to have some cocktail napkins monogrammed as a last minute gift and they were able to accommodate a quick turn around for a rush fee. The linen napkins came out stunning and the woman helping us was so kind!!”

“The moment I stepped inside, I was mesmerized by the array of unique treasures adorning the shelves. Each item seemed to whisper stories of craftsmanship and artistry. Amidst this delightful collection, I found the most exquisite and unique gift for my mother. Its beauty was surpassed only by its sentimentality, making it the perfect Christmas present.What made this discovery even more magical was that the shop was open on Christmas day. The owner, a warm and friendly soul, greeted me with genuine kindness, sharing anecdotes about the shop’s offerings and its history. Their passion for the crafts and commitment to personalized service left a lasting impression.The experience of finding such a special gift in a cozy, welcoming environment on Christmas day made it truly memorable. I’m grateful for this charming shop and its owner, who made my Christmas shopping an unforgettable and delightful”

“There is a peaceful warrior spirit that lives inside of each child. It doesn't have to be Halloween to be a Ninja Turtle or Warrior Princess. Located directly across from the Nordstrom Rack. This store carries spiritual objects/statues, home decor and items for protection (swords etc.). There is plenty of mall parking. The store offers sales on specified items. There are areas you will need to ask to enter. But, the service welcoming.”

“David Orgell is synonymous with the early days of Beverly Hills - the golden age of the 1950s. Mr. Orgell himself was British and had a penchant for the finer things. When he passed in 1987 the company was sold. The Soltani family took the torch and ran with it, carrying forward the tradition of luxury, creating one of our absolute favorite boutiques of all time. It is a treasure trove of delightful gifts - relics of great beauty, exquisite detail, everything you would hope for.The store is now in the fabulous community of San Marino, and we can honestly say no matter where you live in the LA area, it is well worth your drive. Excellence, quality, beauty - these are the things that come to mind when we think of Orgell. And all those years, over a decade, of our kids growing up in front of the store on Two Rodeo. So many memories, and as someone said, the Best is Yet to Come! Long live the legendary Orgell!!”
