Stickers, bags (Baggu, Loungefly, and others), coloring books, Dodger's stuff, keychains, blind bags, plush, and probably everything else your heart desires. There's also items from small businesses around which I so love! As for their pricing, I thought it was pretty fair. On the items I personally bought - I felt like everything was face value but I noticed a $1-$2 price mark up which isn't terrible. The store is a pretty decent size but on weekends, especially, it can get pretty crowded so just a fair warning.

My first impression was that I was walking in one of the Magical Hallmark movies and I found this shop. I explored every inch in the shop since I am fond of unique kitchen supplies, gadgets and utensils. I found them all in this shop.. They have lovely and stunning ornaments too. The shop was very organized.The staff were so sweet, welcoming and friendly. I wish I could spend longer time there. The Hen's Kitchen Shoppe is a hidden gem in Clairmont .I will be back very soon.

After breakfast, I walked on over & it is exactly what I pictured it AND MORE! Cute, darling kitchen items, gadgets (some I would not even know what to do with) and cooking paraphernalia abound! I couldn't stop staring & just wonder in complete awe. Wow! I barely had time to process & check everything out do the photos posted are just cursory pictures, for now. Must stop by another day when Hubby is not in a hurry or take one of my girlfriends to explore this shop & all of what Claremont has to offer. Need another visit to take it all in, and maybe, actually, shop

MY NEW FAVORITE PLANT NURSRY!!!!!…read more I used to go to those commercialized stores to buy small indoor plants, but I have noticed those stores don't carry a lot of different varieties and tend to limit their supply only for some of the popular ones we usually see in the neighbor's front yard. However, since becoming a plant person in 2020, I decided to turn my little office space into a garden and better feng shui as well. So I was SURPRISED to find this hidden gem in Claremont on our lazy Saturday afternoon stroll in the neighborhood. Once I stepped inside of the nursery, I was so excited that I explored every single corner of the nursery to make sure I did not miss anything they have to offer!!! I showed the owner a plant I have been searching everywhere for and she was like, oh yeah, its right here! this little one. I was then mesmerized... or tunnel visioned ... narrowed in on the plant itself. It was truly a happy moment for me. I can't wait to bring her home and be her best plant parent!

I used to frequent this store often as they have a ton of cute merchandise. Whenever I needed a…read moregift for a friend, I'd stop in here. However I've noticed since I have had a baby and bring in a stroller, the employees follow me throughout the entire store. Last night was the third time this had happened and this was a bit out of control. I was in the back area and the male associate literally stood next to my stroller the entire time. He literally could've just pushed it. I was on one end and he was at the handles. Just standing there. The entire time. He was pretending to take photos but it was obvious he was just following me. Everytime I moved or stopped. He moved and he stopped. This store must have a lot of theft which is sad. But as someone who used to make multiple purchases in this store - I will no longer be frequenting. I don't know what type of profiling this is. Strangely my other friend with a stroller wasn't being followed. Whether it's because I have a stroller and they think I'm going to dump things in there or what, I'm an adult. With money and a baby. I don't need to steal. But I guess I'm not buying either.

It's a small gift and decor store with pieces from around the globe, including statues, incense, jewelry, and other curios that work well as thoughtful or eclectic presents. The vibe and selection aren't super polished like a tourist gift shop, but if you're shopping for something a little different and meaningful, it's worth browsing.

The rest are a mystery surprise. Mother (main cashier) doesn't speak English well, but teen daughter (who does speak English well) didn't want to help even though she does (paralyzing shyness?) They fail to provide itemized receipt upon request. She verbally told me prices and overcharged me for three items. I bought over $200 worth of stuff, but when calculated, she overcharged me $40 I would not recommend them. It not about items being expensive, it is about ethical business practices.

There's always these huge clearance sale deals that are just to hard to skip. I can find snacks here that are only available in my home country (Hong Kong). They also carry so many different types of wine that are less expensive than other stores. If you have not been to World Market, you are really missing out!

Can't believe I've lagged on shopping at World Market for so long! Although the Pasadena location…read moreis closer to me, I'm frequently in the IE/SGV area a lot. They have an expansive range of snacks, some I'd beg my friends to bring back to the US when they travel. There's a good selection of Milkia chocolates, although I do wish they would stock some Swiss brands like Sprungli. They do carry Lindt, but not exclusive flavors. I don't mind waiting as they have many options. The real gems I found here are in the kitchen and dining section. They have some of the cutest kitchenware like strawberry themed jars, froggy glass cups, and sardine plates. For the matcha hobbyists, there are plenty of whisks and chawan bowls at reasonable prices. I've even scored two Hello Kitty cups from their clearance section. Nice employees here are definitely a plus. I prefer to be left alone, but they are quite helpful at the register. Take advantage of their membership for their perks. Returning for more great buys.

There are a couple of parking spots with the auto shops towards the end. I usually come on the discount days (Tuesday and Thursday's) for educators. I like to browse their cups to find vintage, floral pieces that my mom used to have. In addition to cups and plates, there are endless amounts of clothing articles, toys, books, jewelry, and miscellaneous pet items. Each section is separated towards a designated section, making it easy to browse. The ladies who work here are gentle and kind, always willing to assist you, if needed. Everything is decently priced and there are constantly great deals. I've come on a special sticker priced day, making my items (with the correct colored sticker) 50% off! This store is full of hidden gems and wonderful second-hand items. Please make a stop by in order to support a wonderful cause! You'll never know what you'll find here.
