I really wanted one of those faux KAWS ballon dog sculptures but the smallest one was $30 and I thought that was a bit pricey. Keychains were also between $15-$20 and stickers $5 which again I thought were pricey for what they were. However, worth it if you find something super unique and thoughtful to you!

I'm living temporarily in Jersey city and needed to get some birthday gifts for two very different…read morepeople. I stopped in here and found so many good finds for both of them and price range was decent for both a "nicer" gift and some stocking stuffer type gifts. From candles, candy, socks, self-care goodies, mini treasures, jewelry, clothes... there's definitely something for everyone. The employee also wrapped up my gifts in individual bags (which I bought there, so cute) for me and added tissue paper, tied a little bow to them as well which took a load off my shoulder as I rushed home that day.

PERFECT GIFTS for Every Need! I literally cannot with how…read moreamazing this store is and how awesome their staff is! I had to quickly grab a housewarming gift for a first visit to a dear friends new house (while my grumbly husband waiting in the car). I knew the perfectly curated store ALWAYS has an impressive array of custom scented candles on their back wall (replete in an artful gift box with box of matches = PERFECT!) So I selected a delicious Olive Blossom & Hyacinth, Amazing! And on the way to the register, passed the "guys" table and found a perfect space-themed puzzle for their young son. I asked the staff if I could get individual gift bags and in a blur of ribbons and smiles, they removed gift prices & I was handed two BEAUTIFUL gifts bags, and informed "The puzzle's in the larger bag." This whole process, I kid you not, took under 5 minutes & the dumbstruck look on my husbands face when I returned to the car in 5 minutes w two perfect gift bags was MY gift! LOL ... Thank You Kanibal & Co.! #Lifesavers

Cuuuuuuuuutest little shop in the heights! If you are in the area and looking for a gift, card,…read moresome fun home decor, a candle, even soap, stop in here and I am sure you will find it. I have been in a few times and always with my pup (they are dog friendly!) and I love browsing around. It is one of those shops where it is hard NOT to buy something. One thing I love picking up are there reusable paper towel/dish rag things. They are like $7/$8, have super cute little designs on them and take the place of like a full roll of paper towels. When they start getting a little gross, I just toss it out and pick one up on my next trip to the area. Since I always stop in while with my dog, I of course had to give in and buy him the trio of NYC themed toys. Sidenote: I was guilted into it by my pup because he literally took them off the shelf. But for $10 he now is the proud owner of a coffee cup, big apple and yellow cab plushie set. The ladies that work there are so sweet and always have a treat ready for Frankie. They are right on Palisades, near ModCup and right across from Riverview Park and are a few steps down if you have trouble finding them! Take a look next time you are in the neighborhood!

I absolutely love this shop and they deserve all the praise…read more Whenever I'm in the mood to "treat myself" you can find me here buying a new pair of earrings, or a ring, or browsing through their cute gadgets and collection of home decor, stationary, greeting cards, candles, etc. They have a little bit of everything in here! I love it dearly. I usually buy all of my gifts from here and have gifted their candles to lots of people who have given me raving reviews. I enjoy their candles as well. Their scents are soft and subtle and perfect for people who are sensitive to strong scents. They make their candles in house, btw, and sometimes they offer candle making workshops too. Lucky Honeybee is an adorable shop and I appreciate them being in the heights! :)

Pearl River Mart is…read morebasically a curated treasure chest of Asian-inspired trinkets, home goods, and "I didn't know I needed this" objects all in one place. You'll find the classics: chopsticks, ceramics, Lucky Cat statues, loose leaf teas alongside nostalgic snacks, fans, patterned paper, clothes/ qi paos, purses, and other beautifully designed everyday items. Everything is just so well curated, this is one of the best places to find a gift for someone when you don't know what you're looking for. Some of my favorite things to pick up here: Tiger Balm, lanterns, fans, incense sticks, tea sets, slippers. It's also still family owned and has been in operation for 55 years now (since 1971!). They also have a small location in Chelsea market but the SoHo location has a significantly larger footprint.

Nice place just to browse Chinese decors, knick knacks, clothes, snacks and condiments. I bought some nice pens and a beautiful silk scarf. Prices are reasonable. I happen to chance on their little art exhibit at the back. The Red Envelop show for Lunar New Year. Very interesting. Over all, i like this place, feels like it instantly transports me to China with out leaving NYc.

Yeah, I might book a hotel in Santa Monica instead of the Jolly Roger in Marina del Rey (though it is eminently liveable). And I might plow through the Kohls shirts a bit more recklessly, instead of just waiting for the generous 40% clearance discounts. The place that everyone calls "Newport Mall" is not the perfect candidate for Yelp. Are you deciding between this mall and another? The food court offers several options that are quick and don't have Michelin stars but are more appealing than Chipotle. Dumpling Cafe is my favorite right now. My friends had to hang around JC for several hours while I was working and I told them they were in luck, that just beyond the office buildings was a giant mall. It's not perfect. I was fed up with movie theater talking and figured Babel at 10:40 on a Sunday night wouldn't be bad. Maybe only six people were in the house but half were on phones. But it is convenient, especially on a rainy day. Don't complain to me about the parking price since you can get here by PATH. But, tell you what, if you do wind up spending major $ in the garage, the Dumpling Cafe pork chop bowl is on me.
