Walked into one of the best novelty stores in Los Angeles. They have unique one of gifts. Something for everyone. We spent about 30 minutes there. My daughter loved the complimentary jolly ranchers. Also they have a mystery bag where you reach in and grab a surprise. Really cool. The lady helping us couldn't have been anymore helpful. I highly recommend this shop. Support small business and give them a try. read more

Amazing little gem. This spot caught my eye when I was on my way to "Hey Hey" to grab some Boba... and, Wow! I am in love with all of the handmade jewelry and unique pieces they have here. They have everything from jewelry to clothes to socks to candles to oils and tinctures and stickers. This is a cute little shop to come explore for special gift-giving. It gives mystical vibes. I came here specifically for a farewell gift for my coworker who loves astrology and numerology, etc. I found him a cute mini "Libra" candle with a quartz crystal in it as well as a "Cat Eye" necklace. He absolutely loves it. I guess what I'm trying to say is.... I will be back. read more

I think this store has something for everyone you just have to look through everything, usually doesn't have the same stuff twice. Lots of local artists sell their stuff here too!

Well I went in to look around and went to go grab a necklace, and something fell off the shelve and had a little chip that you can barely see. I explained that someone put out the necklace under the beetle causing the bettle to fall and that it wasn't my fault. The person behind the counter said that I broke the beetle thingy and should pay for it. I ended up paying for something that wasn't even my fault that it broke. I noticed that she put the necklace under something else that was Probaby going to break again! read more

The owner, Tiger, radiates warmth and kindness; you can tell how much she loves every piece in the shop. She's so mindful about what she chooses that she could tell you the story behind the artists or materials of everything!

Given its location, I wear skeptical. There are so many shops like this on Sunset that are overpriced, especially when it comes to selling crystals (which seem to be SO popular all of a sudden), sage and palo santo among other things that folx seem to gush over now. The shop owner was so kind and when I asked about a certain product, while she didn't have it, she offered something else that would help and be just as effective. I can't wait to go back! read more

I have to admit I don't usually look into stores that give off crystals/witchy vibes ... which is what I thought when I walked past the store. But I'm on a new mission for more rings, and I had time to kill, so I stepped in anyway and was really pleasantly surprised! This store is really great! There's several different altars, each with its own unique theme going on. They are really quite different from each other, and while several of them weren't my style, all of them were worth looking over, and there's clearly a lot of thought put into the design and layout. The store person was SUPER friendly, turns out she does make a lot of the jewelry herself, while the store owner makes a lot of designs. You can follow them on IG @ravenapothecary but when I glanced through the feed, it doesn't give you a good sense of all you could get in the store. However, I was told that you can order online (DM them) and request virtual tours where they show you the jewelry. I ended up buying one ring, it was at a really great price point, and I now have this store bookmarked in case I'm ever in the neighborhood again, I would definitely make this a regular stop-in to check the inventory. It seems like it can change frequently. LOTS of earrings, then necklaces and rings, as well as interesting sticker collections. They've got a variety of non-jewelry stuff going on too. read more

Not only did I get all of my Christmas shopping done in one spot, I had enough money left over to pay the bills ;) The prices here are ridiculous.

Tourists love Sincere for the shopping, perusing their stock of fans, lanterns, figurines, porcelain, hats, and other knickknacks after they bang on the gongs at the front entrance for "Good Luck" and "Money" and rub the giant Buddha statue's well-worn belly that greeted them as they entered.

LOL, had to get one.

We had some time to kill and so decided to peruse around Little Tokyo and stumbled upon this shop…read more They had a TON of fun Japanese gift items and decor like stationary, postcards, kitchenware, maneki nekos, origami paper, and so much more. They also had a lot of traditional items/supplies for tea ceremonies, calligraphy, and kimonos. I had fun looking through all the items as it brought me back to our summer in Japan. Apparently they have a long standing history in LA, having opened in 1946 after World War II. The shop occupies the site of the first Japanese-owned business in Los Angeles, circa 1890's. Pretty cool! I have a soft spot for everything animal shaped and soo.... I picked up a fun/odd felt tiger Christmas ornament, a cat pen, and a super cute bronze cat shaped spoon that hangs on the side of your cup. Did I need it? No.... but it's fun and makes me happy. Haha! Overall, great shop to browse around and find some unique gift items. They even wrap up your purchases in paper bags like they do in Japan. I LOVE IT!

First time I called I had a super hard time understanding the employee on the phone. Second time the employee was super sweet and answered my questions. Both leis and experiences were really seamless and didn't have any problems with my order. I went and picked up the leis a day in advance too. Inside you see one of their employees making leis at the table and there's options on the wall to choose from if your walking in. If you are ordering during a busy season, I recommend ordering it asap too. Would come back if I needed to go to any other graduations in the future!

We have gone here for both of my kids multiple graduation leis and they always do an amazing job!…read more They are worth every penny.

Original Los Angeles Flower Market

My experience was about over 3 decades ago. We came early in the morning, so we could get the best…read moreflorals, many to choose from and be able to get largest amounts, we needed. The flowers were beautiful, costs were just a fraction of what it would cost to have a florist procure them and put them together. We had no idea, as to "our" budget, except it was given to us our wedding gift. My paternal aunt purchased, all of our wedding flowers here and placed together by family, with love. We were there, bright and early and got best quality flowers. It was day or two, before they would be used. They must be preserved, freshly and kept them inside my bathroom, in dark, cold room & cranked up AC. All of it was placed in bathtub for hydration.

Went here on Friday and I do not think this place is worth it whatsoever. I was highly disappointed…read moreafter wanting to go here for over a decade. First the website mentions parking on the roof and we could not find this parking. There was an area blocked off, but it didn't say full. It was just blocked off and the only reason I suspect that was their parking lot is because the exit was still open. So I had to pay for $10 across the street. Yes we could have found street parking further away, but I was already frustrated not having found their lot and my partner was just like I'll just pay. Let's just go across the street. Next even though it is mentioned on the website (I don't remember seeing it despite looking at the website multiple times) and there was a $2 entrance fee. what am I paying $2 for? Why am I paying $2 to shop and spend more money? I'm sorry just on the way there as we got closer, there are so many flower shops around the mart so I don't see why you wouldn't just go to one of those and get your flowers without having to pay an additional fee. So now, we are already $14 out-of-pocket and we havent done anything but try to park and step inside. We get inside we look around and I honestly did not find the prices to be that different from a farmers market perhaps a slightly bigger bouquet, or a couple of dollars cheaper, but there was nothing that was like ooh, this is a great deal. We ended up buying a large bouquet of lilies for $25. There is a stall in the back that had what I would consider actually good price prices. Five stems for $10 and a big bushel of another kind of flower for $6. We got those as well. My partner also really liked the plant guy and bought a plant from him from $20. Now here is where I really will not be back. I stopped at a stall called Choice America. I saw a really pretty set of mum's and asked how much they were & was told $10. The guy helping me then confirmed that they were $10 with somebody else. He then went on to say that one with eight stems was a higher price that I don't remember because I knew I wasn't getting that.When I got to the counter to actually pay, the woman was going back-and-forth with another customer about some order. They both seemed equally frustrated. Why is this important?.. because when it was my time to pay she said $10. I handed her a $20 bill. She opens the register and pulls out a five and some ones throws up her hands. I deduced that already being frustrated this is just one more thing on top as she doesnt have enough change to give me and instead turns to me and says $12.50. I kind of stumble and I say for what... tax or something? and she goes yeah tax clearly lying! Even if they did charge tax, which no other stall did, sales tax in Los Angeles on $10 it's not $12.50. The unfortunate problem is that I am black and I am not afforded the luxury to say something back because then I'm seeing as an angry black woman, have the police called on me not being believed etc. etc. so I just have to bite the bullet and get scammed and ripped off of my money. My partner and I both agree that it was not worth the hassle to go, but he really wants to take me to the restaurant across the street so we would go back to the plant guy and we would go back to the stall in the back but even those are BIG IFS as neither of us has any desire to ever go back to the Flower Mart. I feel like overall. The whole place is a money grab, you should save your money and go to your local farmers market or visit one of the many other vendors that were around the area without having to pay an admission fee to even buy flowers. Or better yet be bold like the elderly lady who accosted us as we were leaving and asked "are you all done in there can I have your sticker?" I was already too flustered to even recognize what she was asking till after my partner happily handed his over.
