Roaming around the Magnolia and California Street area of Burbank, California with my friends...we…read morestopped at several local shops. I felt like I was transported to a plain of positivity when we entered Stay Home Friend. This store has merchandise from local artists, creators and designers. Books, greeting cards, jewelry, candles and so much more! The cashier was a friendly woman who told us about her brother that's a scuba diver in Florida. I fell in love with the sterling silver Leo earrings. I had to buy them! There were other zodiac signs as well. I might return and buy them for my friends and family as their birthday gifts. This place is AWESOME! I highly recommend you swing by and support local artists.

I do think my husband finds it a sure thing when it's my birthday. I completely disagree that there's any sense of hate in this store, come on this is Burbank and it's kinda liberal, no surprises there. There's a nice quirky vibe to the selection of cards, lovely jewelry from local artists, artwork, candles, and even vintage items. Prices are reasonable, staff is friendly.

This is my absolute favorite store in LA!! I found it a few weeks back and have been in at least…read moreonce a week since!! They have the most beautiful cards and lots of great gifts, for every occasion. The owner, Jason, is so nice. We always end up chatting. They also put out new cards at least once a week!! I can't wait to bring all my friends to this hidden gem and you should too!

Jason the owner is extremely irresponsible and the worst businessman you could deal with and doesn't care about his customers! I recently ordered invitations from him and not only did it take them way longer to make them than was initially agreed upon but when i got them they were damaged and not usable. I showed Jason (owner) and asked if he could replace them and he went on and blamed me and said i dropped them and damaged them myself! This guy is so greedy he didn't do anything to fix the situation and i was forced to leave... Long story short **DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THESE GUYS FIND SOMEONE MORE REPUTABLE THIS IS A BULLSHIT SCAM**

I'm so happy this shop finally opened! I stopped in today and the place is just beautiful, you can…read moretell immediately that so much heart went into it. The owner is a local who started this boutique after the entertainment industry slowed down, and she has honestly created such a special spot for the neighborhood. It doesn't feel like a big corporate store at all - everything is clearly curated and unique. I got some beautiful wine glasses, dish towels, a candle and a gorgeous necklace! Usually, boutiques like this are way marked up, but everything here is very reasonable compared to other boutiques in LA. I found some great gifts for my family and the service was so friendly and personal. This is exactly what the neighborhood needed. Definitely stop by and support this local biz!

My now husband and I met with Jennifer from Woo Paperie after our wedding planner recommended her…read moreas her top choice for us. When we met with Jennifer, we appreciated how she took time to understand our vision, and even had some cardstock nearby to show us some options on Zoom. We ultimately hired her to create our Save the Dates and wedding invitations as she seemed personal and friendly. When I sent Jennifer inspiration for what we wanted our paper products to look like, she created an almost identical version of what we sent her. This could be perceived as a good thing as she created our vision, but at the same time I hired her so she could put her creative spin on it. Anyone can order invitations off of various websites, so I was surprised when she pretty much copied the inspiration almost exactly instead of making it her own while sticking to a theme. There were also a few times where it took several days for her to respond to emails. It would have been nice to receive an away message from her so I knew she would get back to us. Without an away message, working with her was stressful at times, especially with deadlines. One incident that rubbed me the wrong way was when I emailed Jennifer addresses for our Save the Dates, spoke with her on the phone about how to improve the etiquette (mainly the order of the names), and submitted the new list to print. Even after I spoke with her, the original list (before the edits) was printed. Luckily the addresses were correct, but I felt frustrated that the new list was not printed. I then realized that in the fine print the first list emailed is printed, so I take responsibility for not reading that closer. Regardless, it seemed strange to speak to me on the phone in the first place if the intention was never to print the updated list. Overall, I didn't completely trust that Jennifer would respond to my emails efficiently, and I therefore felt a bit on edge working with her, especially when it came to other paper products that had shorter and tighter deadlines. I think she means well, but I prefer to work with vendors that answer emails within 24 hours (excluding weekends/holidays) and put their creative spin on projects, especially since it costs more money to hire someone than do it yourself online. With all that said, I am grateful that Jennifer helped us stay within budget, and the paper products we received from her were of high quality. It's just too bad there was a rough journey to the destination.

This store is combined with the Mystic Museum and consists of multiple rooms, with some interactive…read moreexhibits in the store itself so visitors can engage with these experiences without buying a ticket to the actual museum on site (though I recommend checking out the museum too). Lots of monster themed merchandise for sale, skeletons, halloween snack bowls, Stranger Things cookbook, novelty accessories, evil character masks, dead insect and animal displays, creepy sculptures, and of course photo ops galore, like the camp horror boat scene with Jason Voorhees.

Definitely a cool store if you like oddities, macabre, and some spooky goodies. I came in with some…read morefriends and we browsed around the store for a good while as there is a lot to see. If you are into horror and such this is definitely a spot you would like. There are a variety of items to purchase here. Some are more run of the mill mass produced items like candles, purses, slippers, books and such. While other items were clearly thrifted and one of a kind or vintage. Very neat to have that kind of a variety. For example you can get a $20 skill candle or a $400 old operating table. See what I mean? It's definitely a great store to browse around. I easily spent 20 minutes just looking between their three rooms. The reason I did dock one star though is that while it was fun to browse, it's not necessarily my kind of merch. To each their own. Even more so I did find some of the prices to be a little high, maybe it's just me. One example I could give was I found a pretty simple necklace with a bat and heart that I've literally seen a hundred times over at Claire's. That necklace easily is about $7 or so, but here they were selling it for $35. I get they need to make a profit but the quality wasn't there and it was giving child's costume jewelry at a more expensive price. Surely they need to make the rent and knowing that a lot of people who come in are more so "just looking around" it makes sense prices need to be adjusted. A final positive to end on a good note is that the staff are absolutely lovely here. There were multiple staff working which I appreciated. Everyone was very very nice and welcoming. I love their passion for this store and enthusiasm. Nice people work here and I'm glad there is a store like this around for those who can truly appreciate what it has to offer.

Got a pair of weejuns, a pair of Paige Claudine jeans and a like new 100% cotton Ralph Lauren sweater for $32 which is high for used goods but in this market still fair.
