OK, I've been to a lot of gift shops in Los Angeles. And I've seen a lot of the same merchandise…read moreagain and again. Themes, the same. But, this place definitely has a unique spin. Everything in this place: cards, tools, socks and stationary is food related. One table was entirely devoted to dill pickle swag! A shelf on the wall was completely reserved for butter merchandise! What? I love it! I have to say, this place was a lot of fun and would be a great place to shop for any chefs in your life. Or simply friends obsessed with food. I will definitely make a return 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.

They also have an awesome selection of artists' goods in the back of their store, and books in the front. Everyone is always so friendly and helpful, and you can tell the store is very community centered. Love that they provide free masks for those who need them! Everything is pretty reasonably priced, especially for being in this section of Highland Park. I'm always willing to give my money to support small businesses over billionaires, and I hope this store stays around for a while.

I order online from them and they carry / curate an amazingly unique variety of products (I mostly buy pencils -- you won't find a larger variety of Japanese Camel pencils which have a unique design and amazing graphite -- everything except the 3B T-Prime version lol but that one is obscure). Thank you again and please consider opening a store in the San Diego area.

Shorthand is a stationery shop located in Highland Park. This is one of several cards & stationery…read moreshops on York Blvd (including Crush & Touch locating right next door). Currently Shorthand has 3 locations - Highland Park, Larchmont Village, and San Anselmo. This Highland Park location is the flagship location. [Parking]: There are plenty of metered parking spots and paid public parking lots, but parking can be hard to come by during busy shopping seasons. [Selection]: The shop offers greeting cards, pens, notebooks, pen, pencils, gift wraps, etc. I like the greeting card selection a lot better at Shorthand, but I didn't see too many Valentine's Day cards. The shop was a lot more colorful than Crush & Touch as Shorthand organized pens and pencils by color. They also sell really neat hand drawn Highland Park and Eagle Rock maps. The shop also sells various colors of ribbon per yard and gift wrap. Each color of ribbon has a slightly different price. I actually got a red tight weave ribbon for $1.75 per yard and the staff even gave me a slightly extra length. [Gift Wrap Service]: Customers can purchase gifts in store or bring them in from elsewhere. In general, regular (one sheet) = $8, large (two sheets) = $14, and extra large (three sheets+) = $20+. [Conclusion]: A really cute stationery shop with all the supplies for gift wrapping.

Erin was amazing and put together a fantastic terrarium-making party for my plant-loving daughter…read more She hadn't hosted a class in a while, and since it's so hard to find a local vendor for this kind of event, I practically begged her to do it--and I'm so glad she said yes! Erin was incredibly easy to work with and super accommodating. The shop has a great open space in the back, which was perfect for the party. Erin assembled a beautiful selection of succulents, colored sand, shells, moss, and other unique accents, and led the girls through a fun and easy-to-follow tutorial on how to build their own terrariums. The vibe was very cool and creative. The girls had the best time making their gorgeous little creations, while the parents enjoyed browsing the shop's thoughtfully curated selection of goods. Erin and Sien were both wonderfully engaging and added so much to the experience. After the workshop, the girls walked over to Ice Cream Luv just a few doors down to wrap up the celebration with a sweet treat. It was the perfect afternoon at a perfect location for a memorable birthday party. This venue would also be ideal for Girl Scouts or other group gatherings--fun, educational, hands-on, well-priced, and in a warm, welcoming space. Thank you, Acorn Eagle Rock!

Super kawaii, technicolor gift shop! Yatta!…read more Leanna Lin's Wonderland in Eagle Rock is a candy-colored store with a heavy focus on Japanese merch. There's plenty of cute stickers and books for children and plenty of collectibles, gachapon and other goodies for adult Nipponophiles. The store also features a variety of artists whose rainbow Lisa Frank style seems to effortlessly blend in to its surroundings. I know, I know...I sound like I don't like this place. That's not true. While it's not my aesthetic, it's clearly very well curated with lots of fun things to browse through. And the staff was very nice Definitely a place to bring children and adult fans of anime and manga.

My favorite item is definitely their chai -- one of the best I've ever had!!! I also love the trinkets and gifts they have in there. I've gotten multiple gifts for family members, including their chai kit, a vintage tea book and the cutest vintage magnets. We live just around the corner, so typically walk over, grab a chai and then take a seat in the chairs right outside. Their decoration is also so creative and fun. It's the perfect spot to stop in and enjoy some tea, grab a last minute gift or get a tea to go.
