I've heard about this store but never had the chance to visit. Honestly, I was worried it was a…read morepop-up store and I missed it! Thankfully, it wasn't and I'm glad I finally visited. The store has a lot of Thousand Skies merch (of course), but also a lot of other artists' work. Very similar to what you'll see at some SJmade fairs, you'll see a lot of prints, charms, caps, plushies, washi tape, and more. I could probably spend just as long in the store as I would at SJmade. When I was shopping there (5/17/26), Thousand Skies had a free reusable bag for any purchase of $50 or more on their merch. Not sure how long they will keep this promotion, so hurry and make your visit if this is something you'd like!

I love Thousand Skies stickers. They are so cute and unique. I really recommend their sticker shop,…read moreMoment Japantown, for maximal sticker happiness. They also sell stuffed animals, enamel pins, cute hats and bags featuring their designs. The prices are reasonable and on par with most stickers. Moment Japantown is an adorable shop that feature lots of artists like Thousand Skies. It's worth a visit. I appreciate that the staff lets you wander and take your time looking around. There is parking outside of Moment JapanTown.

I've ordered online from Hilltop Gifts before when I was making little freebies for concerts, but today was the first time I've stopped by and it was such a treat getting to chat with the owner, Oliver. He's friendly, personable, and a great conversationalist. The prices here are pretty reasonable - a k pop poster cost me $3.50 and 3/$10 and there's a good variety of them to choose from. Overall, a great store to stop at if you're in the area. I'm sure you'll be able to find something.

WOW! My new favorite shop! Dried to come during Covid and they'd closed and I only stumbled upon it…read moreaccidentally this time while on my way to the Apricot Stand that's across the street. GIFTS: I was so shocked at all the gift options in this place! And I almost didn't go in because it's located INSIDE the community senior center. But I found the things they sell remind me of what you'd find at Cranberry Hill, nice quality, only this shop is smaller and the prices are lower. Gifts for ME too...lol. Given the pricing and cute stuff, I might have (definitely did) buy a few things for myself too. EASY TO FIND: Anyway, it was easy to find, they had a sign. You just turn right as soon as when you walk in the double doors and they're right there. The center is that huge lot by the duck park, and the senior center is at the far back of the lot. PRICES: They really have a wide range of pricing because of their selection so I feel I can easily find something price appropriate for the person I'm buying for. They had a ton of small things under $5 (even $2 and $3 dollar things) like little mats for under your coffee mugs, but higher end like the amazing colorful hand knit scarf I bought...for myself. It was hand knit with that extra thin yarn...a million stitches and only $45?! Bring on fall! CARDS?! What? YES and so cheap (good riddance Hallmark). Tons of cards like those high end Papyrus ones at the store that are more like a part of the gift, only these started at only $3.50 a card. Crazy. HAND-CRAFTED: Sometimes I think "church bizarre" when I hear that, but they said everything in there was hand made and it looked so professional to me. SELECTION: They fit a lot of stuff in that little shop. Candles, paper art, purses/bags, jewelry and lots of beaded things, knit things, towels, even children's stuff, and a ton of hand sewn gifts like placement settings, and cup holders, etc. Even some of the jewelry (Pom-Pom key chains and seed bead stuff) were teen friendly, along with some of the fairytale paper art boxes. TWO CRAFT FAIRS: They were advertising a craft fair and said they do two a year, in May and November and that it's supposed to be huge with tons more stuff, so I'll be heading back for that. MEN: Honestly, this seems is a great place to men to find gifts for the various ladies in their lives.

The store is a little smaller than I thought (you can see the whole store right when you enter), and the prices were steeper that I thought (ie, tiny enamel pins are $12 and $16!) -- so after such a long drive to get there, I didn't end up buying anything, which is very OFF BRAND of me! Momstera Lounge is at the end of the little downtown, so it was fun to walk around and made the most of our long drive. The store is super cute though, and if I lived closer, I'd probably check out one of their classes.

I stopped by, the location in Sunnyvale, to see if they had any Christmas gift wrap on sale. My supply is running low and it would be nice to get some for next year at a good price.

The associate at the counter was very friendly. We had a nice chat while she wrung up my items. This location has excellent customer service.

What? It's an even exchange! I begged and finally they made an exception! I asked the hallmark store in oakridge and their policy is returns for Xmas stuff up until January! This store is a rip off and they make their own rules to fit them not the customer! They are not in business for the customer they're in business for themselves! I live in Sunnyvale but I'd rather drive to San Jose to a different hallmark store where they are actually hallmark friendly and cater to the customer

Whether you're into journaling, planning, or just want a unique gift, Maido is definitely worth stopping into. There was not much stafff around helping, I think only two people and they were both at the cash register, they weren't too talkative and didnt ask if we needed help, but im sure they would have if we asked, we just werent approached.
