    I am always so happy when I go to Better Half Boutique. The staff is super helpful and willing to spend all the time you need with you helping to figure out the prefect items. I was in earlier this week and got a "gag" hat for my upcoming summer trip. The prices were fair and the quality was very impressive. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    Custom Anniversary gift the Better Half made for me  in 15 minutes! Thank you so much!

    Love The Better Half!! Have to share the most wonderful experience I had today purchasing a custom engraved anniversary present. I called up and the staff graciously did a video call with me to pick out the present. I even got to pick the fonts I liked best and in under 15 minutes it was ready! They also offered free delivery to my home. The customer service here is amazing and the product selection is great! Highly recommend them if you're looking for something special for your home or for a gift. Thank you so much!!

    Everything is amazing

    Love doesn't begin to describe the warm feeling I get every time I walk into the store. The ladies are amazing they have a lot of things made locally. So not only are you supporting a locally owned business but local artisans. They also have a lot of things that support charities, giving keys, woman of domestic violence, and many others. If you need a gift that says Long Beach or something about California they will have unique gifts. You can't go wrong with purchasing things here. They have things for; babies, dogs, brides to be and newlyweds. Anything you can imagine with pineapples and mermaids. Food items such as salsa, chocolate sauce and sangria mix! Just get there already! What are you waiting for! They are closed on Mondays so plan accordingly.

    Cute little boutique in Bixby knolls. I've bought the cutest sippy cups for my baby as well as baby shower gifts. This place is cute and cozy with a warm welcome. At Christmas times they had hot ciders and candies for us while we shopped. You can find a gift for any occasion here, party supplies, baby shower, bridal shower, 1st birthdays, birthdays, housewarmings,fur babies, babies, wifies, hubbies, besties, famlies, graduations, mothers day and much more. I love all their unique and fun items. I never leave here empty handed. Service is friendly and the price is right. They also have party rentals available. Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you have an event to go to or just want to decorate your home (^_^)

If you're looking for a neat gift for someone come in and check this place out. I love novelty type presents and The Better Half has some good ones. Will be back soon^_^

    LOVE THIS PLACE! Cutest boutique: nicest people. I always feel like I am visiting a friend when I go there. I buy a lot of gifts here. Owner has amazing taste and they seem to redecorate every few weeks. In the last year I bought some hand-crocheted reindeer baby booties, a sassy travel mug for a friend going through a bad break-up, a custom dog collar and leash set for my little lab Abby, and other unique finds. They also stock Stonewall Kitchens Srichracha Aioli sauce (which takes a plain turkey sandwich and makes it gourmet), and the lemon curd (over blueberry pancakes or scones makes for an impressive breakfast. Wonderful customer service. Like I said, I bought a leash and collar set for my lab. She is very small, so the large didn't fit. I asked them whether they could get anymore medium sized and they special ordered me one at no charge! It arrived in less than a week! I love it, so hard to find collars for female dogs that aren't pink or purple, the coral is lovely.

    Easter color candles. They smell great.

    My fiancé barely made it through the store, she found and bought so many great things. They have knick knacks for all types of decor. She really loved the shot glass candles and is hoping they keep more in stock. The California bear surfer hat was awesome , we bought the last two. Alyssa really helped us and is very friendly. Thanks for the chill atmosphere...

    My rug!

    It's such a fun place to shop! And the staff is wonderful! They have so much to see, you must circle at least twice! And even then, when you're standing, ready to pay, you see something amazing you can't believe you missed! Thanks Susie and Katie! I'll be back!

    It lights up  so awesome! Absolutely love it!

    Dainty Disco is such a cute and unique craft studio in Long Beach, especially for decoden glue…read morecrafts! There aren't many places like this in the area, so it's a fun and creative spot to check out. I found them on Instagram and decided to go with some friends. I've been to two craft studios that are similar, so my review is based on experiences from other places. The booking process was super easy--you reserve online with a $10 nonrefundable deposit, which goes toward the final cost of your craft. When we went at 3 PM on a Friday, we were the only group there, so we had the whole space to ourselves. Free street parking was available right in front of the store, which was a plus! Just a heads-up, it's located in an older part of Long Beach, so keep that in mind. The studio itself is absolutely adorable - very girly and charming. It's a smaller space but seems like it could accommodate a few larger groups at a time, so if you're planning to go with a big party, I'd recommend inquiring ahead of time. One thing I really appreciated is that there's no per-person studio fee. The craft prices ranged from around $15-$45, which is similar to other craft studios I've been to. You can decorate a variety of items like jewelry boxes, mirrors, photo frames, claw clips, phone cases, and glass cups. There was a nice selection of beads, charms, glitter, and other craft supplies. Their website and Instagram list monthly specials, and this month's Hello Kitty and Sonny Angel-inspired phone buddies were adorable. The owner was incredibly sweet, and you can tell she puts a lot of love into her business. She originally started Dainty Disco as a gift shop, so there's still a small retail section with cute merchandise available for purchase. A couple of minor things could be improved. The lighting inside the studio wasn't the best--it was a cloudy day, which didn't help, but some additional overhead lighting would have been useful for crafting. Also, a few craft options were sold out; for example, they were out of the larger heart jewelry boxes and only had one smaller one left. I think a section on the website that lists the options for crafts with pictures would have been helpful in guiding customers ahead of time for their choices. Overall, we had a great time, and it was nice to support a small business! They also host monthly craft meet-ups, which I'd love to check out in the future. If you're looking for a fun and creative activity in Long Beach, I definitely recommend giving Dainty Disco a visit and I'm down to come back!

My wife and I stopped in during a visit to the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, and was impressed by the collection of curated products, neatly displayed across the space. Folks were setting up tables for one of their many cultural events/gatherings, but their space is big enough to handle it while shoppers browse. Their retail space includes a collection of 'Filipino Komiks & Kids Lit' and prints from local/Filipino artists (two of which we've already displayed at our home). This time, ended up bringing home a 'Bangus Pro Shop' ballcap ($24.95) and Filipino Birthday Greeting Card ($5.50). The payment processing is modern, using Shopify, their website platform provider. And their associates continue to be so friendly and helpful. Kubo is just a great place to visit.

When we came in, they were setting up for an event later in the day. With that being said, I can tell there is a lot of engagement and activities for the community! My fiancé and I came to stop by, to purchase gifts for a friend. He felt very seen and felt with every little book, trinket, and toy. I also felt delight seeing myself, being represented. I loved seeing the handmade items, small business items being sold, and books. The most impressive part was the books and toys for infants/toddlers. We purchased some "first words in Tagalog" books and a toy. This place is definitely worth visiting! The girls here were very inviting and nice. It was a pleasure stopping by and we hope to come back again!

However, when I've gone in looking to purchase something specific, it hasn't been available -- even when I returned a week or two later. Yes, it's something they sell in store normally. The staff is generally helpful, though I did have an awkward experience at checkout. When I mentioned the weight of an item, the staff member questioned the accuracy several times. I wasn't sure if she was new or if there was some hesitation in trusting the information I provided. She said she was "just trying to make sure it was right," but it felt unnecessary and a bit uncomfortable. It might make more sense for staff to weigh items themselves to avoid situations like this. Overall, it's a pleasant store, but the inconsistent availability and that checkout experience make me unsure if I'll return.

The reason why - and I have to point this out because the store is named Rooted - is most of the neon pothos did not look too healthy aside from one plant in a 6" pot (larger than what I was looking for). In fact, many of the plants were rather middling, with soil looking dry when most inventory are tropical houseplants. Was it the heat at the time I visited or negligence? I'm not sure, but even with seemingly fair prices as plant shops go (4" philodendron Brazil was $12), it's harder to buy a plant that looks sickly. In addition to plants, Rooted also carries housewares and refills for shampoo, body wash, etc. I can't speak to the prices because I have a similar store within walking distance that I typically bring my dispensers to.
