This is the flagship shop opened in 2015 and there are currently three brick-and-mortar locations in Echo Park, Carlsbad, and Encinitas. [Parking]: Parking is very difficult in this part of town. I got really lucky and found a residential street spot on Grafton St. [Merchandise]: The shop offers many cute gifts including home goods, scented candles, tote bags, and a section with items for children and babies such as children's books and random animal plushies. I like some of their greeting card designs, but there is not much of a stationery selection. There is also a mini print vending machine at the front entrance. [Conclusion]: I am not sure whether I would drive out of my way just to shop for gifts here as there are too many random items. It would be nicer if the shop focused on a more specific niche category rather than being a jack-of-all-trades gift store.

I'm not sure how I missed this charming gift shop all these years…read more Located right on Silver Lake Blvd, this shop has a very beautifully curated collection. Some things of particular note: many books about interesting and obscure topics. This included a book about some of the esoteric societies involved in building the Los Angeles we know today. There is an excellent selection of really beautiful Japanese pottery, including some delightfully adorable tiny vases. Along with this there were an assortment of Japanese dolls, dainty jewelry and a lovely selection of cards. Pauline who was working behind the counter was very helpful and friendly as we chatted about the books on display. Prices might be a bit high, but I didn't feel like they were exorbitantly expensive. Will definitely return.

However, I would consider this more generally a gift shop, because you can find a wide variety of items. müsh had a charming collection of woodcut-style cards for sale, one which I grabbed for a friend. I also spent quiet a bit of time looking at their interesting jewelry collection, including a parure of silver/brass and garnet jewelry. They cary quite a bit of jewelry featuring silver and semi-precious gems. There were also a number of geodes that were set and ready to use as objet d'art in your home, including citrine and amethyst. There was also a variety of paintings for sale: this place has a lot of things for home decor, especially for such a small shop. Definitely worth a stop in Silverlake.

The consideration you've put into choosing gifts suiting a myriad of tastes makes showering the folks we love, fun & achievable. Your store took the T out of Task 'cause all I had to do was ASK!

Instead of hitting a wall after the gals & fluids were shopped for, I was able to shop for all of the men & boys on our list at your place. Done! Our home is filled with the warmth of your ceramics, paintings & crystals. Happily, so many of our family & friends point & sigh with delight when hanging out here, so making their wishes come true is easy with MUSH.

Music to my ears as I typically can't have pesto due to the cheese (lactose intolerant).

I also like that you can have the option to just get half or get a whole sandwich. Such friendly service here too! And a nice sunny little patio out front to hang out.

You will find a wide range of gifts, at very reasonable prices. Some of these items include small ceramic pieces such as vases and small dishes suitable for stashing jewelry or other trinkets, crocheted animals and artistically designed maps of cities. I have also enjoyed the handmade soaps and other lovely, fragrant body products. I have often admired the jewelry on display, made by artisans running small businesses. There are a number of very interesting pieces: a gold/silver duo-tone necklace recently caught my eye and there are a number of pieces using labradorite and other less "mainstream" stones. As someone who write people frequently via snail mail, I have come to rely on Sumi's as one of my primary supplier of cards. Regardless of when I shop, I always find something that either a) cracks me up or b) is perfect for a message to a particular friend of family member. You will also find cute stuffed animals, scarves, posters, naughty cross-stitch patterns and more. Sumi's has a gift for just about anyone. Sumi and the other staff members have been universally friendly and willing to chat about various pieces they carry in the store. If you are shopping for presents, I would highly recommend a visit.

The shop has another location in Hudson, NY. [Parking]: Metered parking in Atwater Village, but luckily I found a metered parking spot across from the shop at 5 PM on Saturday. [Selection]: Very organized shop as pens are ordered by rainbow color. The shop sells a decent selection of Valentine's Day cards. The staff was friendly and even asked customers on what they were looking for. In addition to greeting cards and stationery, they also have candles, tote bags, etc. The shop also offers gift wrapping service and apparently they even sell red rose bouquets during Valentine week. [Gift wrapping service]: The service is only available at brick & mortar locations. Materials are purchased separately and holiday rush fees may be applied. The shop offers complimentary gift wrap on all in-store purchases (customer's choice of kraft box or kraft wrap with twine). During the busy holiday season, the staff may asks customers to drop off gifts and pick up at a later determined time. * Small (e.g. Small Book, Journal, Pen Box, Candle) = $8 * Medium (e.g. Shoe Box, iPad, Shirt Box) = $10 * Large (e.g. Oversized Books, Laptop, Coat) = $12 * Extra Large (oversized) (e.g. Oversized Kids Toys, Bedding Sets, Large Framed Art, TV) = $20+ [Conclusion]: The shop has a more diverse selection and is not limited to just Japanese style cute stationery. This is really a one-stop shop for anyone looking for a last minute gift.
