“Iguana owners their own candles there and they're so wonderful and reasonable! I bought some and also some great cards for Mother's Day! Go support this lovely business on Broadway!”
“AbsolutelySo much to see. The sweetly small but well mechanized shop with more than you can imagine. I’ll say just thisIF XOUR LOOKING FOR ANYTHING IN THIS GENRE OF LOVE AND LIGHT AND BALANCE OF WELL BEING WHETHER IT BE FOR YOURSELF OR ANOTHER THIS IS TTE SPACE YOU FIND IT AND I BELIEVE THAT ACQUIRING ANY IN ANY WAY SHOULD BE IN A SPACE THAT OFFERS A SAFE PRACTICE AND UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT CONES GROM GOODNESS AND KINDNESS TOWARDS CLIENTELE.The first time I walked into the fabric, I didn’t know anything I knew I was looking for incense and that was it. I’d seen other things. I’m not in a profession that has the necessities to buy most of this, but as educated about anything, you may come to love it And that education pulls you in I don’t need to practice this as profession or but acquiring items because you’re drawn to them for me it’s because of education if someone tells you simply or an in a way that helps you identify with this object or item and what it can do and not do for you and how it will make you feel The person delivering that information has to be genuine, and there is absolutely no way would’ve felt that continuity of kindness and generosity of store shopkeeper like I’ll have to come back and edit this cause I can’t remember his name I feel dreadful I can’t remember his name, but I will come back and editI want to say his name is Gerald?anyway -pop in shop here if it’s not for you it’s not for you, but I know there’s something in there that will speak to you and if you don’t know about it, but you’re drawn to it by its beauty or what it smells like or the shape of the color just asked this young man he’ll definitely know.I don’t necessarily need much but if I drop in on my way or on my way back from one place or another I’ll say this a quick HELLO it will never beI am really compelled to learn about something and then I-buy I’ll add photos as well”

2240 E 4th St, Long Beach“01/20/24 My friend and I wanted to walk after a meal, so we walked 4th street. She is much older than me and has lived in this part of Long Beach for many years. I've walked by this store many times, my son used to live across the street for years, so why have I never stepped foot in here? I guess it's because of my upbringing. Palm readings and devil stuff are a no-no and it always used to scare me. I totally perceived this store wrong. They have themes in sections which I am obsessed with. Their organization is 10/10. All the sections have a little of everything. Stickers, pens, socks, bags, journals, ceramic figurines or vases. One theme is plants and on the front of a journal read 'Diary of a plant killer'. I found that hilarious because I am that person. There's a section of women empowerment items with a 5 pen set where some read 'mom, mama, mommy, mooooom' and 'welcome to the shit show'. I bypassed the Prince (purple rain) and other celebrity prayer candles and all things devil. Just not my jam. I did however love everything else. Overall 10/10. Great place for funny and clever themed gift items. I now know where to go for them.”
“Interesting selection for visitors. Friendly & helpful staff readily answering our questions they've probably heard a thousand times. Thanks for the souvenirs!”
“One of my favorite places to go when I go to the mall I always end up buying something from this place if you like to save sign up for there rewards to save money and use points”
“Great store! They have so many cute items and clothing to choose from. Everytime I go the workers there are so sweet! Yesterday I was helped by Randel and he went above and beyond to find a pair of pajama pants for me in the back! Haha! He went out of his way and it was super appreciated! Come here for a great shopping experience! ?”

1611 W Whittier Blvd, Montebello“I love, love, love this cute gift shop. Alfredo and Danny are awesome and so sweet this is my go to place for prefumes and gifts. I've also referred a few coworkers and say the same about this place. For all your gift needs come here you won't be disappointed.”

5276 2nd St, Long Beach“Absolutely incredible business! I ordered a Jelly Cat plush from their website and overall I have to just say their attention to detail is insane! My item came packaged very beautifully with a lovely handwritten note and even a freebie! I was even called and notified of when my order would be shipped and they asked whether or not I wanted it to be gift wrapped which was for sure a nice touch because a lot of businesses don’t put that much love into what they do but this company definitely does! 11/10 I recommend this company!”
“A good source for non-commercial locally made soaps & oils. I especially love the lavender spray. It is better than products I typically buy directly from lavender farms. So glad to have this shop in the neighborhood!”
“I love shades of Africa, from the atmosphere to Ms. Renee being so welcoming. The products are amazing. Most stores if not all when you go in to purchase items such as hair products or skin products they can only be used for those specific things. With the many handmade products at Shades of Africa there may be a description such as hair oil or body wash but they can be used all over and I love that. You get quality products! I pick up products in stores and wonder why all of those harmful ingredients are needed to make things as simple as lotion or body wash, it’s not necessary. I can shop here and not have to worry about about any cancer causing chemicals or harsh dyes. You’re also helping out many small black owned businesses even some from other countries such as Kenya. I get majority of my skin, body, and hair care products and will continue to do so. I love being able to support small black owned businesses and I’m grateful to have found a store that sells amazing natural products.”
“Needed last minute party decorations and this hidden shop saved the day! I was greeted by Lupe, the sweetest owner. She was very helpful and had balloons, candles and even had fresh flowers in a fridge!”

4718 2nd St, Long Beach“My new favorite store! I could easily spend my whole paycheck in an hr here. Yesterday I purchased a candle with real amethyst crystals in it for added relaxation, let them eat cake hand cream which makes you want to eat your own fingers, a beautiful sun hat, etc. I will be back next week. This store has diverse, one of a kind pieces. I also purchased a bowl made by a local artist from sea glass ? The staff is lovely, the pieces can't be found elsewhere, and I promise there is something for everyone!”

“This store has always been so friendly from their cashier staff whenever I visited them. They host super fun machines like 'Medicine Man,' 'Zoltar,' and 'Love Tester.' I can so live in that store as well. Cashiers have always been extremely efficient~they hold a wide variety of products sold in the store: crystals, candles, incense and other souvenirs. I'm about to head back in for shopping today on March/22/2024 because they are hosting a 10% off sale today. We aren't supposed to take pics from inside the store, so I ended up stocking pictures from these machines I go for.”

“Jesse was very insightful and helpful. His kind and gentle spirit was welcoming. The store is quaint and colorful with a wide variety of spiritual offerings to satisfy any religious beliefs. It has a little bit of everything I needed to create a sacred prayer space. I had been looking for the right Ganesha and I found it here! I'm thankful I found this place. From the moment I walked in I was greeted with a peaceful energy. I hope you enjoy the store as much as I.”
