They sold jewelry, cards, journaling books, clothes, party supplies and toys. The woman at the front desk was friendly. The bad: I didn't have time to shop for as long as I wanted because I had kids waiting in the car. The interesting: They're located in a plaza next to two kids places where one might celebrate birthdays so it's great if you come for a party and forgot a gift.

I've been here twice. The first was a corporate event that rented out the entire shop for the…read moreevening, and it was a lot of fun. The staff were super nice and helpful and fun and engaging. They offered suggestions even though there were 25+ of us in various stages of attentiveness. Everyone really enjoyed themselves. I had such a nice time that I booked another experience to celebrate my daughter's birthday. This time was different and felt ... perfunctory. We arrived right before our scheduled time, I was starting to tell the person who received us (I was told she was the owner even) that we had arrived quite a bit early (like we got there before the store even opened so we walked around for a bit before arriving 1 min before our reservation) before she abruptly said no it was already time and everyone else had gotten started. Just reminded me of the plethora of email reminders I'd received from them reminding us to arrive on time, allow time for parking, etc. She didn't even greet us or say hello or welcome. Never introduced herself, never asked our names. Just a "do you have a reservation?" And told us to put our stuff down (didn't tell us where) and put on an apron. We ended up putting our things down on someone else's seats because others were standing in front of ours while four others were choosing their scents for their candles. Told us we'd have to wait since there was no room for us to choose our scents so we just stood there. No one even said, hey why don't you wander around the store for a bit until space clears up. And why rudely tell us they'd already started when we just had to stand there and wait anyway? I really felt like we were in the way rather than paying customers, so I told my girls they could look around the shop for a minute rather than awkwardly stand there in front of someone else's seats. The person who helped us with our candle making was nice but kind of just gave us instructions of what to do. One of the girls mentioned how it was kind of like chemistry class so we all talked about science for a bit. I reminded the staff that the day was for my daughter's birthday (I had specified on the reservation) so she gave a quick little happy birthday before moving on. I didn't feel she was particularly helpful though. I asked how we can decide how much of one scent versus another and she just said you kind of just smell it. My daughter asked if she could make the color of her candle a little lighter and the person was just like, well, we can't guarantee what it will look like, but she was very helpful in breaking up the colored wax for her. When we returned to pick up our candles, that was it, they were just sitting there on the counter, packaged up and crammed into one little bag. I wanted to ask for another bag since each candle was going to a different household, but the staff gave off vibes of "go away". I distinctly remember the first time, each candle was packaged in their own little bag with the lid off the candle and they told us it was really important to let the candle "cure" and completely dry for three days before putting the lid on or lighting it. This time the candles were sealed up, no thank you for coming. No I hope you enjoy your candles. I can only assume this day was an outlier and maybe the staff were having a not great day. The experience is not cheap at $60 for which you create a 7 oz candle. I understand the cost isn't just for a candle, but for the experience of creating. The cost of the materials was probably minimal. But for that expense, I would have expected the experience to be a little less icy and a little more friendly (like during my first visit). Thankfully, my girls enjoyed their candles and had fun and were super thankful.

We went to the store and the lady who attended to us if we have the receipt so we told her we lost it she said since we do not have the receipt they will only do an exchange so we said ok. Then she took the humidifier to test if it is not really working which she attested that it is not emitting smoke then she called the owner but the owner according to her refused to replace the item. DO NOT BUY their items it only last less than 3 months and the catch is their warranty period is only up to 3 months. What a waste of money to buy their items

Beautiful spiritual shop with beautiful energy…read more Stumbled upon this beauty while exploring Hermosa on Saturday and wow! You can feel the welcoming energy as soon as you step in. A wonderful selection of tarot cards, crystals, jewelry, decor, gifts, and so much more. So many beautiful pieces to add to your altar. I could have explored and browsed in here all day. A friend of mine found Magickal Herb Oracle cards, which is literally so perfect for her. Love! Also, don't forget to pick your affirmation card for the day! Overall, had a wonderful experience browsing around and soaking in the good energy.

OH. MY. GOODNESS!!!…read more This is seriously one THE BEST spiritual stores I have ever been to!!! I am super picky and a lot of shops just have generic crystals and basic, massed produced spiritual items. Not this place. Every corner is filled with specially curated items that I have not seen anywhere else from a mix of different cultures and spiritual practices. Very high quality, great prices, and sourced with love. This is the ultimate place to get unique gifts, and right by the ocean! This place is a MUST visit if you are in the area. The inviting space is seriously beyond a shop, it is a portal full of so much positivity, love, light, and tools that will help you on your path. Lauren, the owner, is such a beautiful soul with good energy and you can feel the love put into this place. This store is an important part of Hermosa Beach. I highly recommend coming here!!!!!

The shop itself is beautiful and thoughtfully laid out, with deep red walls, warm lighting, and cozy displays that make you want to wander and explore. Every table is packed with intention: crystals neatly arranged, trays of rings you can actually browse comfortably, beaded bracelets displayed on wooden stands, and glass cases filled with candles, tools, and treasures. They truly have just about everything you could need for your spiritual practice--candles, herbs, oils, crystals, tarot decks, books, jewelry... I honestly felt like a kid in a candy store. It's the kind of place where you keep noticing new things the longer you look. The staff is friendly and helpful without being pushy, which I really appreciated. I somehow managed to walk out with only four rings, but I'll definitely be back to do more damage.
