    RACIST BUSINESS

    I walked into the store with my sister and and my girlfriend , we wanted to buy gifts to take to out parents. We had just walked up to the pier after a long day at the beautiful beach. Well the older man at the register was making very racists comments to me and my sisters. Insulting me in front of my girlfriend. We then all walked up to the register dropped our things we had all picked out and walked out. I will never buy something there again. I don't support racists businesses. This business will fail having someone like that working for them.

    This store is my Favorite place here at Seal Beach. I must go in this store every time I'm here…read more The Mermaid and light blue beach colors in the window always drag me in.( ) The smell as you walk in with the candles and the ambience of the sea gifts offered. They have jewelry, to dish and kitchen items to light perfume. Also ornaments to car necessities to the array or Beautiful wind chimes made from shells beautiful sea themes. Handcrafted cards to key chains...my Goodness just go in!!! You will Thank me!!! I never walk out empty handed this store has it all. I also love that they pack your items so good that when you unwrap them and know it's a secured gift. They really do care about their customers and merchandise. The bag that they give you are sturdy and always have a Beautiful post card from their business that you may send out as a nice lil extra if your visiting from out of town. This place is a MUST IN SEAL BEACH!! YOUR WELCOME!!

    I went in a few weeks ago with my sisters and the 2 lady's at the register were super nice and…read morehelpful. I brought in a half eaten açaí bowl from earlier and there was a sign outside that said no food but when I was inside shopping the 2 workers saw it and didn't say anything and even were talking to me about an item I was interested in. A tall lady comes from the back and tells me I'm not aloud to have food and says in a rude tone she could hold on to it, and when she grabs it she says "is this trash"? And looked bothered. If it was trash I wouldn't still be eating it and holding on to it. Once we're gonna leave I ask for it back and she begins to ignore me until I ask again and then she gives it to me and I'm walking out the door about to step out and I take a bite of it and she yells no eating aloud in the store. As I'm already out the door. She was rude from the start so we're glad we didn't give her our business! We were gonna buy something until the rude tall blonde lady came out from the back.

    What a cute little place for gift shopping. This place has a great selection of just odd stuff. it…read moreis cute and clean and the service is very nice. Most of the items are from Japan and they have stuff I had not seen before. They had a little Toto lighter which I loved as I have a Toto at home (it is a toilet, made in Japan and has a washlet.) They also have stickers and tee shirts and hats, they have lots of hats. I bought one for my son in law. The prices are fair for the area. We really did love the service. It is not a place I would go to often, but it is adorable and worth a visit. We had a great time there, just looking at all the stuff. It was not at all busy when we were there and check out was super easy. So, if you are nearby stop there. It is not a must see, but it is cute.

    Love the store but service 0/5…read more My friend and I had stopped by this shop after taking pictures at Booth by Bryant to take a look around. This shop is very nicely organized and aesthetic, however, the lady at the cash register who might be the owner did not greet us or anything, and seemed very bothered by us just walking in. There are some colorful crates in the back part of the store that my friend wanted to take pictures with, so I asked the cashier first if it would be okay to do so, since I had noticed that she already looked upset, and she said "yes and thank you for asking first since some people don't even ask" and I had also purchased a $40 hat prior to asking. I take a few pictures of my friend and as we're looking at them some customers walk in and are taking a look around and we scooted to the corner so they can shop. As soon as they left the cashier comes up to us with so much attitude saying "you guys need to get out when customers come in, if you guys are doing this they can't shop." when we literally were no where in the way of the customers. The last thing my friend and I wanted was to make her upset, which is why we asked permission first and purchased an item so we could stay longer in the store. But, the lack of customer service and passive aggressive tone was what makes us not want to shop here anymore. A simple "if customers come in I would appreciate if you guys step aside for them to shop" (which we did either way) in the beginning when I first asked for permission would've been nice instead of telling us to "get out" after I had already purchased something.

    Oh my, this is a very cutesy place. I've eyed Jini Mini a lot as I'm often nearby but didn't know…read morewhat they had in store. Recently, I came across them on a hunt for cute bag charms (thanks, Yelp Assistant) and I was blown away by the selection! In addition to tons of plushies, they have a whole wall of bag charms. I didn't find what I was looking for (something Disney and/or cherry-themed) but I found a cute charm for a friends birthday gift and the claw clips on the shelf below caught my eye because many of them were metal and large. Perfect for thick hair! The cashier confirmed this as well which made me feel confident and I can confirm they hold up with long, thick, hair. It seems like this place does a lot of limited drops so definitely get there early if you're looking for a trendy item. But, it wasn't too crowded when I went around 11am.

    I walked in expecting a full Jellycat selection. The shelves looked almost empty. It felt…read moremisleading and frustrating. My excitement disappeared instantly. This was not what I came for. The only options were the Lunar New Year one. There was also a random softball plush. That was it, nothing else. No variety, no classics, no fan favorites. The selection was honestly disappointing. I drove out of my way for this. The display felt poorly stocked. It seemed careless and unprepared. Three stars only because the plushies were decent. I expected far more than this. .
