“Got this customized music/jewelry box as a special gift for a beloved friend's mom. My friend passed away recently and wrote and played his own piano music. Actually bought 2, one for myself and one as the gift. The company is absolutely amazing to work w, I chatted w them before buying and after buying talked to them thru email and the phone. They gave me exactly what I had envisioned.
Created them in about a week and shipped right away. Extremely accommodating, professional, talented people. You can tell them what music you want, send them audio or video thru email. I sent them 3 videos thru email and they extracted the audio. If you are searching for a music box w your own music closest to your heart, this is the company for you!!! The final product is worth every penny of what I was charged! My friend's mom and myself were blown away and it brought us to tears to hear it play and something we will always treasure!”

8916 Reseda Blvd, Northridge“I have been coming to this place for years, this review is overdue! It's definitely worth the trip. The store is alway neat with plenty of items! Necklaces, bracelets, crystals, salt lamps, a few spiritual decks and books, and many different candles and sprays. The selection of incense is impressive, and there are some loose/fresh ones as well that smell really good. A few of the candles that I like are sold out from time to time when I go, because they fly off the shelves! Y'all are getting hip ... But they have some new candles, as well as Florida waters, soaps, deodorants, and candles in stock. The owner is always super sweet and makes great suggestions. She is kind and very appreciative of her loyal customers. Definitely check them out if you're in the area. If you're in the Valley then it is no trip at all :)”

14101 Burbank Blvd, Van Nuys“Love the late night, mellow vibes here. Soo many goodies for my eyes to feast upon when entering the shop! So much tantalizing incense! Ohh! Ah! So many cool t-shirts! Look at all these vapes! Wait... am I allowed to say that? Ahem... and such pretty pipes and dab rigs!The sensory overload is strong in this place! I'm seriously not allowed to come in here if I haven't taken my afternoon dose of Adderall otherwise my brain feels like a pinball machine, and my eyes dart back & forth like I'm all hopped up on Mountain Dew, and I end up making too many impulsive purchases. Damn, I really didn't need that box of whippets, 10 different kinds of incense, 3 new bubblers, 5 ceramic tips for my Nectar Collectors, a Costco-sized jar of mannitol, and hey, wait... oops, I believe this gorgeous feline belongs to you guys *nervously chuckles and hands over a purring yet confused Chloe* Yep! That'll be all! Thanks, guys! In all seriousness, Giftworx is a great shop with comparable prices and excellent service. Although I'm a bit vampy, I try to stop by during the afternoon to say hi to Dee and enjoy a bit of existential conversation and sage wisdom. Dee is the man! And Giftworx is the jam!”
“Great energy in this store. From the second I walked in the smells and music were great today. I highly recommend coming in and saying hi, they're very helpful and have cute ornaments for the holidays!”
“It's a small shop but the customer service I've gotten both times I've went was above and beyond. The items are a little pricey, but the quality of the items I purchased was worth it. The staff both times were extremely helpful when I wanted to purchase an online gift card. Would definitely recommend if you're looking to support smaller businesses and get away from the giant retailers of the world.”
“There isn't a product I don't love from Olive U in Tarzana, CA. My daughter, an athlete, uses the Warm Me pillow to ice her knees and absolutely loves it. She says the fabric is incredibly soft, making the icing process much more bearable. Highly recommend!”

8039 Deering Ave, Canoga Park“Traditions Christmas Shoppe is the absolute best place for Decorations. Especially Halloween. Even though it's called a Christmas Shoppe, it has all Holiday Decorations. Many Vintage, which I love. I placed an order over the phone. Their merchandise is superior. Well made, very detailed and arrives at your door quickly. The Associates that take your order are always nice & go out of their way to help you. I will shopping at Traditions often. It's also a Family Business. It's all good. Great place for Decorations.”
“Big selection of items. We only had a few minutes and went in on a whim, and I'm sad we did not get a chance to go back and buy something. Necklaces, menorahs, mezuzahs, yizkor candles, etc at affordable prices.”
“This is hands down the best gift store ever! The selection is so thoughtfully created , and the owner, Tara, is absolutely amazing. You can truly tell that she puts so much love and care into picking every single item she sells. Whether you’re looking for something unique, special, or just a little something to brighten someone’s day, this store has it all. I can’t recommend it enough!”

“I stopped by here with my wife because she wanted to see what t-shirts they have to offer here. When I walked in, a worker greeted me and asked if I needed any help. I told him that I didn't and that I was just browsing. They didn't have a lot of variety of shirts but they had some funko pop toward the back. They also had a decent selection of backpacks. The store isn't that big but it's a good enough space for this store.”

“I am a woman undergoing chemo for metastatic breast cancer. I received a Carakit as a gift, and it was a most wonderful thoughtful, uplifting gift. It contains so many wonderful things, such as comfy pajamas, spa socks, A floral decorated mug that says courage, wonderful tea, a national best seller book full of poems, happy thoughts, and wisdom for life, A great quality insulated stainless steel water bottle,A bead bracelet with essential oils, an amethyst heart to remind you you are loved, caramels, a whole variety of lotions and moisturizers and lip balms and even a cooling spray for radiation burns. also a lovely fabric tote bag to carry it all. Sadly, the pajamas didn’t fit, so I called the company, they were extremely nice and accommodating, and are sending out pajamas in the correct size. You couldn’t ask for better service. I highly recommend a Carakit as The most special gift you could give to somebody undergoing cancer treatment.”
“It’s a very cute store with *MOST* of the Sanrio characters, but most of the stuff is extremely over price.
A small hangyodon plushie was 50 dollars, which at most should’ve been at LEAST 15-20 dollars. a lot of INSANE PRICES but it’s best to stick with smaller cheaper items. I brought 5 hangyodon items which ended up costing me almost 60 dollars which were simple items. (A plastic zip bag, hair brush , fridge magnet, keychain and a small pin)
All of the items in the store are super cute and only worth it if you’re willing to spend a lot of money on overpriced Sanrio items.
If the owner of the store sees this, please lower your items for reasonable prices, overall you have amazing sweet kind cashier and a clean store, as well very organized.”
“This BoxLunch is probably one of my favorites! Came in here on a mission for Black Friday sales and the ladies in the front were super nice and accommodating to me! Thank you so much for making my experience memorable! Love when I get pampered with love at a store!”

“Cute fruit baskets, chocolate dipped fruits, nice flower bouquets and balloons for all occasions. I even got one with a cake for a small birthday with chocolate dipped strawberries on top. The balloons last for a long time too and the fruits were all fresh! They even gave $5 off and free delivery on time, quick service.”
