I also spotted unique handmade pieces. The location is nice, near restaurants and coffee shops. I liked a few things but didn't rush to purchase it right away. I'll think about it and go back. Prices are on the higher side but let's not forget the area it's at. It's a great spot to purchase gifts as well. Specially for plant lovers and collectors. Customer service was unfriendly, maybe it was too early in the morning.

Nice customer service, it is a woman-operated small business. They sell a bit of everything: cards, fun gifts, home decor, candles (hence the nice fragrance in the air), jewelry, funky socks, cool keychains. Nicely decorated store, charming with fun merchandise. Great place to shop for friends, get a gag gift or unique items for holidays. If uninspired in your shopping, come here! The shop will give inspiration and make you smile on the way to your purchase. Street parking, closed on Mondays. I wish the store would stay open later than 3-4 pm (check their schedule), but it's a small boutique, so it's understable!

Would come back to search for some other books and want to get their vending machine cute cards.

This shop has beautiful clothing, jewelry, kitchenware, scarves, hats, crossbody bags, candles, and much more. I was having a lot of indecision, and Nan directed me to some beautiful candles and suggested lighting one and having some tea and meditating with it. I wound up purchasing a beautiful scented candle and also a lovely dish with a bluebird painted on it. All told, my retail therapy didn't even cost me $40! Scentsabilities is a very reasonably priced shop. It was nice to chat with Nan for a little bit, as she's very kind. She also gave my pug a little treat, which made his day. I highly recommend browsing this store, especially if you don't know what you want, but want something beautiful. You will come away happier than when you walked in.

Welcome to thee Universal Studios Store of Hollywood inside Universal's very own CityWalk…read more This mega souvenir, collectibles and some might even say essential gift shop is filled to the gills with incredible items from all your favorite past, present and future universal favs, from Minion to Muggles, Pride to all things summer and seasonal. Their Harry Potter and Fantastic Beast Wizarding section is by far the biggest and most celebrated section and rightfully so, this Gryffindor always appreciates the expansive collection, but not always those prices o.o, then again they carry so many cool rarities and replicas it's not surprising, but your wallets might say otherwise. A lot of patrons tend to come here after a day at the theme park, literally next door to the entrance for Universal Studios, however being one of the very first and few permanent staples of CityWalk it's one I think anyone should pop in and enjoy, not just for the service or abundance, but for the experience. Great customer service, perfect displays and an extended shop, currently celebrating the motion picture duology Wicked and Wicked: For Good, which you can enter from any entrance or from it's own entrance and still access the rest of this emporium of mugs, plushies, shirts, toys, trinkets and so many cool things. There is similar store inside the park, however this one is rarely crowded and you're still very much able to use your membership discounts and enjoy. Some top films and franchises you can find sections for, aside from the mentioned are Jurassic World/Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T., How to, Train Your Dragon, Transformers, Terrifier, The Mummy and classic logo items for Universal Studios. You can access this open everyday of the full week must via the Universal Tram from down below the bridge and LA Metro station hub for Universal/Studio City. The closest parking garage is the Frankenstein Garage which you can access from two sides including the rideshare, valet and prefered parking areas. The first few lowest levels are typically all reserved from employees and affiliates. All other parking is through the main parking entrance great with the iconic gate sign, just to the right of the Frank Parking Lot.

I found them during the Christmas season when I needed gifts wrapped, and I remember being blown away -- the level of detail, care, and perfection was unreal. Every single gift I gave got compliments, and people kept asking me who did them. Since then, I've kept going back for birthdays and special moments, and somehow they exceed my expectations every time. Most recently, I needed a last-minute balloon and flower setup for my partner's birthday, and they came through same day and even hand-delivered it to me. It was beautiful, thoughtful, and made the whole moment feel so special. What really stands out is the love they put into their work. They're kind, reliable, and go above and beyond in a way that's rare. Supporting them feels good because they genuinely care. If you want your gifts or events to feel elevated and meaningful, this is it. I'm a forever customer

From start to finish, the experience was effortless and very professional. Their communication was clear, consistent and prompt, they offered a great selection of wrapping papers and ribbon options, and they made the whole process feel easy despite the volume. It was literally a gift that kept on giving! The turnaround time was impressive, the presentation was beautiful, and the attention to detail really showed. On top of that, their customer service was superb--friendly, accommodating, and truly focused on making sure everything came out perfectly. I'm incredibly happy with the entire experience and would highly recommend It's a Wrap for any and all wrapping needs, big or small. And the shop is so cute, like straight out of a hallmark movie!
