While there are certainly the staples of gift shops here: cards, jewelry, small ceramics and the like, this place is extremely well-curated. And also has some unique features. For example, you can get a custom charm-bracelet made in store. I really enjoyed looking at the assortment of housewares and trinkets. And this was the place that I found the absolutely perfect card for Mother's Day. Prices here were very reasonable and the staff was both friendly and helpful. While I don't live in Santa Monica, the next time I'm there I will most likely swing by.

I've gotten several gifts here, including a bracelet from the adorable custom charm bar. I was advised that they stock new items weekly, so I will definitely be popping in frequently and adding punches to my stamp card.

I have been coming here since they opened some 8+ years ago, mainly for the candles and cards…read more I love the candle selection - the stuff I'm looking for is always in stock (Maison Louis Marie and Boy Smells). I love standing in front of the candle selection, smelling my way through the new brands and smells - especially if it's been a minute since I've been there. Personally, I think they have the best candle selection on the west side. What I also love, is how fairly priced the candles are - they are sold at the price you find them online. I expected a mark-up but was really surprised to see there wasn't one. Their card selection is also the best. I can stand in front of that wall for a good half hour reading all of the cards and stocking up for upcoming birthdays, holidays and thank you's. Even when the card wall is looking a little empty there's still a bunch of great options that fit what you're looking for. The customer service has always been good - I recently went in to exchange a candle (within the 14 days) with a half printed receipt (the machine had run out of paper) and I didn't bring my wallet. The girl who helped me with my exchange was really nice and while it took a bit to locate my purchase from that day due to the situation she was super helpful and I was able to finish my exchange without having to come back. I no longer live in the area so I was really grateful to save an extra trip. I'm happy to see the store's phone number is on yelp. It wasn't originally when I was calling to ask about my exchange. I highly recommend this store for fun home things and cards!!! And for what it's worth - I love the kids shop next door. Everything I have purchased for friends with new babies or kid's birthdays has been a hit! It really is the cutest store full of things you won't find anywhere else.

She's a NYer and had never seen such an establishment that could compare! Huge compliment. With the holidays approaching, there are plenty of fun and useful choices. I bought a fabulous black sweater that feels so light and comfy and will be perfect for our chilly upcoming days! Stylish and reasonably priced! I support small businesses in our west side, which is the best side area of town! A must visit for us Angelenos and visiting friends and family! My friend bought a lot of things too! Never have seen her get so excited about her purchases... And all the customers that we saw inside the store were feeling the same excitement! Highly recommended for sure! PS so many stocking stuffers that will put smiles on every single person that receive them!!! I definitely picked up several and will return this week for Hanukkah goodies for my friends and family too!

We were looking for bracelets and I have a very small wrist so it's hard to find ones that fit with out chains hanging down. The owner offered to take out links for me which was so nice and I may go back to get the bracelet that I loved. In addition, the Valentine's merch was so over the top cute that I wanted to buy everything from socks to chocolates and everything in between. Merchandise is all displayed very nicely and prices are very reasonable. I didn't snap any photos but I highly recommend this store if you need a great quality gift and you're on Montana Avenue!

The outside of the shop had a beautiful bed of flowers and a gorgeous window display decorated for the Fourth of July holiday. Such cute decorations to display in your own home!

Whether it's stationary or pens and everything related to it, you can pretty much find it here. The staff is also really polite. Parking in this area isn't too bad, you can find metered street parking if you go during the right time of day. I would say that pricing is fair and I would recommend to anyone searching for a good stationary option.

Found many of my staples, including Midori notebooks, notepads, and Fisher refills! They up-mark it somewhat compared to the other stores, but a fair amount. The staff has all been helpful for letting us try out pens, and hold them, many of them very patient and friendly. The selection doesn't seem to be updated often, but it is to be expected from a smaller store with a sizable collection of quality stationary. My boyfriend got his first gift to me from here; a navy, diplomat viper. I absolutely love everything, from the color, to the magnetic cap. No defects and little damage to the packaging! However recently, my family noticed an employee tailing me, from the moment I walked in, to further inside the store, until they decided to leave as it made them feel extremely uncomfortable. While we understand theft issues in the US, the shopping experience was compromised. Overall, a cute little shop to do shopping, from affordable to higher end options!

While waiting for a restaurant to seat you, you can walk around in here and look around. There were several things that were pretty unique to me, and I found the shop very well-managed and clean. Even though it was a small store, there was still several workers present which was pretty interesting to me. But yeah, I think if someone wants to buy anything related to anime, have any unique chopsticks, Pokemon, pencils, Sanrio, Studio Ghibli, or some squishy toys, they will enjoy coming here. Prices pretty reasonable. You will be tempted to buy something for sure! Lots of very cute plushies also and I found it funny/cool they even sold backpacks for Labubus! - no bathrooms inside - lots of blind boxes - cute eye-catching displays at the windows
