Don't know what to get mom? Go buy her something cool here. The 2 dudes are very helpful and wrap your shit fo free!

Iguana is awesome ! It's presence on the Broadway shopping district is critical to the area being as cool as it is. There's always a great gift to be found which includes their handmade candles that burn more beautifully than any candle I've seen. Gotta support these guys cause the shopping world would suck without them. read more

Love all the unique things you find here. From art to clothing and jewelry they have really cool stuff.

love this place.... love. love. love. I have been coming to Iguana since the shop was in a teensy, closet-sized space, just next door to the current beautiful location. The owners, Tom & Jorge, are exceptional people with immense creativity & vision. They pour their own candles here -- a MUST BUY item! thoughtfully chosen, unique products ,incredible customer service. shop at this place! read more

Tom and Jorge have made Iguana simply the best gift/furniture shop in Long Beach bar none. For years my wife and I have been purchasing small things (jewlery ect) from them and always found something out of the ordinary. Now we have purchased a home we went wild and started buying some furniture there..all the pieces are what guests notice first as they walk in..unmatched quality and style. read more

I simply love this store. It has the best selection of rare and unusual world themed gifts and furniture and home-made candles and drums and xylophones, etc....One could go on and on. The owners make you feel welcome and are genuinely interested in your needs and opinions. It always makes me happy to support a local business and I will be doing so again and again. I just bought a sofa there and cant wait to get it in my house! read more

I have been shopping at the Iguana for years...even bought my sofa there. They are lovely and have wonder gifts.. and love the hand poured candles.. read more

I've lived in Long Beach for over 15 years and Iguana Imports had been the one consistent store I have always shopped at. The guys that run the place are the best. It has a real friendly neighborhood feel. Who needs to ever to the mall ever again. I like interesting decor from around the world and they certainly have a unique supply amazing items. They travel the world themselves finding all the treasures they sell so it really gives the place the personal touch. read more

Went to brunch across the way at the attic- nice little Mexican devoted cost plus type store with candles and many fun things to look at...I am not sure if the jewelry is worth the price but I didn't feel it was tremendously overpriced. Lots of stores in this block have similar items but this one was the most accessible. read more

I LOVE this place! One of my favorites to buy gifts for all types of friends!

I love this store! I recently just moved from Venice/Santa Monica area where I felt that import stores were plentiful. Now that I just moved to Long Beach I'm so excited to find Iguana Imports for all of my furnishings, hand made gifts, and other nick knacks. I stop by often to see what new things they have in at least once every other wk :) read more

I spend hours in here ! They have everything ! If you have a nook or shelf to decorate ? Come here !!

I used to love this store when it was smaller. Have many items in my house from Iguana. However, things have changed since they grew. Last time i asked about a special order, lots of "yes, yes, yes, we can get that for you", but no one ever called me back with more information. I do not like the feel in this store anymore. read more

This shop has a lot of products from different cultures, which make great gifts or interesting things to have around the house. My husband and I usually just go to pick up some incense and stroll around the small store to look at the interesting products. The only thing that has ever turned my off to this store was the way the guy at the counter started to follow us around after we made our purchase. We wanted to look in the back of the store at the furniture, but made a u turn right out the store. Other than that negative experience it's a cute little shop to try out. read more

Lots of cute things here. This is a great place to pick up gifts. The staff is very friendly and helpful - they wrapped all the items I bought in a very cute gift bag. Anyone who does the wrapping for me is my best friend! My friend loved all the little things I got her. I will definitely go back. read more

I was looking for Mexican blankets and table runners for a themed party I'm hosting. A friend recommended that I try this place, and I'm glad I did! The store has a lovely selection of imported textiles, clothing, furniture, and accessories. The owner was gracious and very pleasant - really made me feel welcome and appreciated my business. read more

Good place to find quality decor, art, jewelry, clothing, furniture. Beautiful and cozy showroom, can spend hours browsing and contemplating design. Owners are gracious and patient. Thank you. read more

I drive from the South Bay to shop here when I need a special gift. The owners are awesome and their store is filled with unique items. I bought a fabulous Frida Kalho collage on a painted wood door that is now the center piece in my office. I love their incense, cards and jewelry too. Cool Buddha's and Day of the Dead artwork. Wonderful vibes, customer service and they always wrap your gifts. read more

I have to give a shot out to Iguana. This is my go to place whenever I need to buy a gift, especially for women. They carry a lot of one of a kind jewelry and it's usually made locally. Oh, and their candles are really nice and slow burning. Very high quality. read more

It was an adorable shop and the employees were very kind to us. Everything in there was fun to look at and the prices were okay. The handmade jewelry was especially gorgeous. read more

We are obsessed. This place is like Cost Plus World Market, but better. The furnishings, gifts, and jewelry are from all over the world - India, Mexico, and Nepal, to name a few - and everything is incredibly reasonably priced. Jorge, who co-owns the shop, is from Mazatlan and the shop has been in operation for 22 years. As he says, "Long Beach is wonderful. It's extremely diverse and walkable, and close to Los Angeles AND Orange County." read more

Love Love Love this store.....lots of fun decor and inspiring items...love the hand made candles and the jewelry too. Tom and Jorge are the best! If you haven't been you are missing out and must check it out. read more

This is a wonderful shop with great unique gifts. The owner/workers are always super friendly and helpful. It's a bit pricey (not ridiculous but still a bit on the pricey side) but if you're looking for something different, this is a nice alternative place to buy a gift. read more

I absolutely love finding places such as this one unexpectedly. This is such a beautiful store with the neatest most unique furniture and things inside!! read more

I finally made time to go in. The owners are very nice. The items they carry are beautiful. I love that they carry items for almost all cultures. I fell in love with this shop n can spend the entire day there discovering treasures. read more

Don't come here if you're black, the owners of this store practice racial profiling. I was here with some friends because the restaurant across the street recommended we go here while we wait for a table to open up. While I found some very interesting things, me and my friends noticed we were being followed from room to room. Even into rooms with just furniture. What did he think, we were going to pocket one of the couches? One of my friends calmly talked to him and pointed out how rude this was. He did not deny it, saying that this was not a lounge and that we should buy something or leave, even though we had been there for five minutes and were planning on buying something. None of the other white customers were talked to in this way. It's a shame, because many of my friends and family are interested in stores like this and I would have recommended it had we not been mistreated that way. I'll just go to one of their competitors instead. read more

This is the best little gem in Long Beach! Don't spend your $$$ at one of those big chain stores that does not care about you....check this store out and once you step in you will understand!!! They have beautiful jewelry and great candles that are handmade. Tom the owner is a kind gentle soul that is always there to help you and will always wrap your present so beautiful and make you feel so special when you come into his wonderful store!!! I have been shopping here since it is 1/3 of the size and so happy that he has continue to grow and be successful!!! Thank you Tom for always being there when I need a last minute present or a little something for myself to pick me up!!!! read more

For me, this is the one stop shop if I'm looking for an original gift. This is the real World's Market, where things really do come from all over the world and made in the highest quality. The owners are pleasant, helpful, and know their merchandise. They even wrap up your items if they are a gift for someone. It's shops like Iguana's that deserve our business. read more

This store has personality. I have found charming and very unique accessories and furnishings for my home and office that I have never tired of. This is important for those who relish creating a personalized style in their home rather than conforming to the blandness offered by the likes of Crate and Barrel or Ikea. It is also great for gifts that will be long remembered. I thoroughly enjoy this shop and have brought many a friend, and yet, I have to admit I find their jewelry priced too high. read more

Iguana import Gallery is my personal emporium of wonder, adventure, world travel and inner peace achieved in one go. I started coming to iguana three years ago, sometimes I shopped and other times I window shopped, either way, the owners Tom and Jorge welcomes every customer with open arms and acceptance. This is not a store... it's an experience and it is very unique and special. It's a shame that small business owners are hemorraging due to the lack of appreciation for their art, instead these multi-level corporations swoop in and sell cheap product for cheap prices. You get what you pay for and at Iguana the experience that you receive is immeasureable! Talavera pottery....check, sterling silver .925 jewelry...check, amazing clothing...check, intrictae furniture....check...artisinal candles created in store...check. All are welcome, there is no racial profiling, if anyone felt uncomforatble, just think about how you would operate as a store owner. I don't have to state my racial identity, but whoever felt uncomfortable should address their issues with the store owners rather than leave a one-sided review. The OM is in full effect and I am doing all my Christmas and future shopping at Iguana Import gallery...infinite stars and ratings to Jorge and Tom...besos! read more

Iguana is the best place to buy a unique gift, and it's so gorgeous and fragrant, I want to live there. Love it!

I love getting lost in this little shop! They have a huge selection of incense and crystal jewelry. I wish they had a bigger selection of crystals on their own, but they definitely have a decent small collection. I wish I could afford their eclectic and unique furniture collection! (They're fairly priced, I'm just broke haha.) Anyway, I love exploring iguana and the staff is knowledgeable and friendly :) read more

What an awesome shop! I was looking for a mexican blanket for a design project and found on yelp that they had them. Such a treasure of times from around the world and I so appreciate the owners being gracious and helpful to find options. I could spend half a day just looking at everything. They make their own candles that are natural and smell amazing, I purchased a few and the smell is gorgeous and natural and fills my home. They have beautiful jewelry, some clothing and shoes and a lot of decor and the prices were great. I will for sure be stopping in here regularly. read more

The owners are so thoughtful and sweet. My boyfriend and I love coming down to broadway to shop here. There home made heart shaped candles are my favorite. And they have a large variety of spiritual finds. read more

Wonderfully diverse array of goods, good prices, and kind owners.

Great store. Wonderful and unique stuff at a reasonable price. The staff really takes care of their customers and stands by their products. read more

only the best store in the whole wide world! for gifts i never have to go anywhere else, wonderful things for any budget!

Fantastic selection of high-quality items. Even if you don't plan to buy anything, it's fun just walking around and checking everything out. Jorge and Tom (owners) are really sweet and make you feel right at home. read more

Love this store SO much. it absolutely brightens my day. I buy mostly incense, candles, and some jewelry. But they have lots of other really cool gifts. Been shopping here for about 2yrs. Totally agree with January L. The candles are fantastic. i cannot get enough of them. They are all over my apartment :-B Great store, great people, great shopping. read more

Who I presume is the owner or if not, a staff member of high authority was extremely rude to me not to mention unhelpful. I haven't been treated so disrespectfully by an employee/customer "service" rep in a very long time. I will not return and will let others who mention the place in my presence know how I was treated. It's a shame because I was ready to busy some things too. read more
