Cutest store ever!…read more There's such a great selection of items! The first thing I noticed when I walked in was how good it smelled. Everything I smelled, smelled sooo good. Lots of candle, soap, and lotion options! Theres so many random things to name but all cute. To note, there is specifically a cute little pet section and baby section in the back! They have a wall of the cutest greeting cards. There's also cute dainty jewelry. There's also some La Mesa merch that I promised myself I would buy if my dream of owning a house in La Mesa ever comes true! Great times with great value, the pricing was very reasonable for everything! I was also immediately greeted by the cashier Darav. She was so sweet and I enjoyed our conversation. She was playing Taylor Swift (my favorite). She wrapped up all my items carefully and put it in a bag with ribbon. It was so cute and I can't wait to gift the items I bought! She also let me know if you join their loyalty program you get discounts when you spend a certain amount. It's easy to spend lots of money here because everything is so nice! I will definitely come back any time I need a gift or just want to buy myself something nice!

It's full of charming finds, plants, home goods, skincare, stationery, small gifts, and more. The jewelry selection really caught my eye, and I thought the prices were fair for the quality. The service was outstanding--so warm and personal, and they even wrapped my gift for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. Can't wait to come back soon!

I have never sold there though I would like to look into it and I have talked to people about it and understand it is reasonable. Usually the sales are held at the La Mesa Community Center so that is the address I have listed, but occasionally they are held short distance away, down the hill at the Nan Couts cottage. Both venues are small and cozy and the sales are fun and don't require a huge amount of walking. There are always plenty of handmade items to choose from and often craft supplies as well. The ladies who work it are very nice. Bathrooms are available and occasionally light refreshments. Naturally the sales that are close to Christmas have more Christmas decoration type merchandise where whereas the ones held in the spring and summer have more summer related items though you might find all of the above year round. There are a few edibles along with the gift items and useful items. You can find dish towels, key chains, dog biscuits, aprons, tea cozies, planters, jellies, hand painted wine glasses, homemade cookies, dip mixes, pet related items, American Girl doll clothes, Christmas tree ornaments, hand sewn and hand knitted items, jewelry and beaded items, beautiful scarves, and even a few items of furniture and wall hangings. Not every item is available at every fair but every fair has an interesting assortment well worth checking out. There is plenty of parking as well.

I love coming here and looking for monster romance and queer romance!

It's so nice to shop somewhere that celebrates romance novels instead of hiding them in a back corner. The shop is beautifully organized by trope/subgenre, which makes browsing a total breeze. Only giving 4 stars because the shop footprint is on the smaller side, so it can feel pretty crowded when they have events or weekend rushes. Overall, a gem of a shop!

My first impression walking up to shop, it's going to be filled with all kinds of goodies. The reality exceeded my expectations. I did give myself a budget before I walked in of $100. I headed to the back to find the Oracle deck cards. She had a decorative table in the back displaying her gorgeous Oracle deck cards. There were little refreshments and amazing cookies to celebrate the occasion. After learning more about Oracle deck cards, I decided to shuffle and pull two cards. They were exactly on point. I became emotional and decided to explore the rest of the store. I realized I did give myself a big enough budget. It truly was a gift givers paradise: stones, teas, essential oils, aromatherapy, skincare, books, socks, stickers, cards, plushies, jewelry, etc. I ended up only purchasing two sets of Oracle Deck cards, but I already bookmarked this shop to return for future gift shopping. The cashier was super friendly!

An online Hallmark order for a corporate event arrived incomplete despite expedited shipping, leaving me short just days before the event. After calling every Southern California location, Elam's was the only store with the inventory I needed, even though I'm based in downtown LA. Bella and the management team were incredible--they processed my order over the phone, accepted a shipping label from my corporate UPS account, and personally dropped the package off at UPS at the end of their shift. That's truly above‑and‑beyond service and incredibly rare these days. Elam's Hallmark La Mesa is officially my go‑to. Highly recommend.

Ok, I'm looking for something metallic. I needed something other than the usual picture frame or keychain. There are a couple of store associates, and the friendly gal helps me narrow down some items. She made sure to verify the engraving: layout, font, message, spelling, etc. She gave me an approximate time for me to return when the engraving would be ready. The engraving was not ready as promised so I had to come back another day. Disappointing, but not devastating since I had time before anniversary day. All in all it was ok, except for the one hiccup. Nice people, clean engraving, but the goods were not delivered on time.
