Gift Shops near Vernon, CA

“This is a beautiful shop for gifts, jewelry, home goods, and generally uplifting one’s environment. I always find way too many awesome items here. It’s my go to spot for gifts, feels intimate, and is so well curated. It also makes me happy to shop in my Eagle Rock neighborhood first!”

“Wow, awesome spot! Visually and esthetically beautiful place! Tons of nice spots in this shopping district. Amazing staff, and cool store. Jewelry making section with all the various gems/crystals. Tons of crystals, candles, sound bowls, books, and other related fun items. The staff is warm, engaging, and friendly. We felt like we were hanging out at our cool cousin’s house!”

“We couldn't be happier with Cici 'n Tux as a tenant in our building. Sometimes we go there just to breathe and relax. Arax is old school customer service. Tell her what you need and it will be realized with impeccable attention. It's great to be able to support not only her small business, but in turn all the artists she carries.”

“I went earlier today and I loved it. It was so beautiful and everything was so unique. I bought a really cool ring there and I can’t get enough of it. Along with some bracelets and a Dodger hoodie. 10/10 service and the people were so nice. Definitely going back and definitely recommend going there.”

“I've been here twice and I've walked out a few times with a bunch of figures. I wish I grabbed the Cell figure from there. Other than that, this place is really great and the employees have always been friendly. If you guys want figures for a reasonable and good price, I recommend going to this store.”

“Hollywood souvenir city is a very beautiful souvenir shop in Hollywood. All souvenir items is reasonable price I seen. Thank you for good customer service with very friendly. Thank you so much “ Hollywood souvenir city”.”

“Such a unique store with unique, fun and interesting merchandise. I'm so happy this mom and pop store has been able to thrive over the years as it truly is a favorite to visit in my town and it's terribly hard to be in business these days. They do such a good job with their Instagram page and promoting their awesome themed art shows and various art events. I love their annual pet show as always come home with portraits of my dog from the artists that attend. I love that you can order online. They helped out a lot during the pandemic. They are always so helpful when you go in too. This last weekend I went in to find some Valentine's Day gifts for family members and sure enough left with some fun goodies. Love shopping along Colorado And Eagle Rock Blvds.”

“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.”

“I LOVE this place!! I've never been able to get any Arknights merch even at anime expo. So seeing it here was so awesome. A lot of genshin stuff too if you're into that. I'm an avid cat girl fan and a LOT of the stuff they have here are cat girls so this place was literally heaven.”

“Jessica helped me over the phone in securing a last available pair of AKILA frames. Being here in CLT and F.D.G.S. in LA - I couldn't have asked for better customer service and she was so accommodating! If all small businesses were run like F.D.G.S. - we wouldn't have such a demand for the big box stores! A++”

“First, I'd like to preface this by saying I have never left an online review for anything. I'm just not that kind of person but the extraordinary service I received has been so far beyond the norm, I felt compelled to comment.
It started when I received a book I hadn't ordered. I felt sure a mistake had been made by a second-hand bookseller from whom I had ordered a different title. Fearing my book had been sent to the true buyer of this book, I contacted the Huntington Store (after hours, I'm quite certain) to inquire how we should resolve this error. I awoke the next morning to find an email from Lynsey Hand with the answer to the mystery. The book had been a surprise gift from my brother in Japan. (Yes, he is that great of a brother!)
I wrote to thank him and to recommend he take every opportunity to patronize this bookseller because I was so impressed with the packaging of my book against damage in transit. He recommended I write a review.
Over the years I have had numerous books, many collectibles, damaged due to inadequate packaging.
This book arrived wrapped in bubblewrap, cardboard, and packing paper in a sturdy cardboard box.
I have learned since 1.) it was packed by a lady named Emily (Outstanding job, Emily) and 2.) The Huntington store is not a second-hand bookseller but is, in fact, a beautiful museum with incredible botanical gardens.(My brother forwarded a Huntington newsletter.)
I can do without another visit to Los Angeles, but the next opportunity I have to visit Southern California, I plan on making the Huntington my destination spot and look forward to spending a liesurely day at this beautiful museum and its grounds and, perhaps, shake the hands of these two women who made such an impression as to prompt an old curmudgeon to write an online review.
Thank you, ladies!”

“One of the best automotive museums in the world. The collections change often so worth going back a few times per year. Parking is expensive ($21) in the garage.”

“I have never enter this store but I did wait for my brother in the car meanwhile he got a Siddur for me. I observed how the owner walked with my brother towards the books and probably explained to him what the book was for. It took me a while to read the Siddur. Know that I read it every morning and night, I’m very happy with it. May God continue to bless this shop. ?”

“Love this family of artists, especially ‘Mom’ Ofelia Esparza. She’s my hero! Patiently lived her life as a wife and mother. Attend med college became a teacher and after that was able to fully release her focus and time to ‘creating’. She’s proof that it truly is never to late to do the thing you were created to do! Bravo Ofelia! As for your studio and shop... I enjoy going there to take in all the creativity. The prices are bery reasonable too! Can’t wIttiñ you open again!”

“Must visit in Little Tokyo! Precious business continuing history while updating their contents to what’s relevant to today’s audiences. Don’t forget to check out the second floor for old music cassette collections, handmade candles, and imported artisan goods from Japan.”

“I love this store! I could spend hours perusing everything they have for sale. So unique and creative! Plus, it's connected to the La Luz de Jesus art gallery, that's always a treat. Short drive from the Griffith Observatory!”

“This is the best shop in all of Little Tokyo. Super legit, non-touristy at all, and filled with really cool books, prints, antiques and sculptures. The owner is great to talk to and is really passionate about the community. I now have a ton of recommendations for art and cultural events in the neighborhood! The store is cash only, so make sure to come prepared.”

“After Necromance, sadly, closed their brick and mortar shop, there was a brief period in time where their combination of taxidermy and Victoriana was no where to be seen. I'm a big fan of Gold Bug in Pasadena, but they are not quite as "dark" in their aesthetic. Memento Mori, on the other hand, feels like a pretty good replacement. So, what are you going to find here? Well, as you may have guessed from my intro, taxidermy. The classic boars and deer heads preserved as wall ornaments...but also delicate butterflies beautifully arranged under glass domes. While no where near as extensive a collection of preserved animal parts as Necromance, there still is a decent collection, particularly for decor. Memento Mori also lacks the strong mothball smell that permeated the aforementioned store. There is a large collection of silver jewelry incorporating classic taxidermy elements, such as glass eyes. And lots of trinkets for those of a "gothic" aesthetic. They also carry a number of very comfortable tshirts bearing variations of their logo, one of which currently hangs in my closet. Memento Mori also appears to serve as a gothic community center: they always have flyers and posters advertising events such as Endless Night, a vampire-themed ball, or gothic-themed fairs for artisans. So, definitely worth a visit if your aesthetics or predilections lean to the darker side of life.”

“My friends and I were walking around after having dinner at Fishwives when we came across Homage. I'm happy we decided to stop by. This is such a magical little shop to walk around and see all the neat things that they offer. They have a selection of bags, jewelry, cards, candles, books, pins and stickers, and all sorts of other lovely items. They have such impeccable taste and I have to stop myself from buying everything. The staff is so kind and helpful. My friend was interested in a necklace and the staff showed her that it could be tied off for a different look. She was also very patient while my friend looked through all the gems because they had such a gorgeous assortment of colors that it was hard to choose. The reason I'm giving 5 stars is because of their service. Unfortunately, they ran out of the sticker I wanted. The staff took down my number and called as soon as they had it back in stock. They only order 12-18 of each sticker so if you like it, just get it! I also asked for a little paper bag to hold my purchases and they delivered with a cute tiny bag that's perfect for gifting.”

“Amazing selection of records and other ephemera. My boyfriend got really into Gundam recently and I was so happy to find a first pressing of an OST for the second film here. Legacy businesses like these are what makes Little Tokyo special.”

“Some of the most beautiful flower bouquets that I have both purchased and been gifted from. I absolutely love the attention to details and how each one is uniquely made for the special person. Blooms on Beverly became my favorite flower shop and I know I will continue to come support this business for every special occasion in the future!?”

“For years this shop was originally on second street. It was fully supplied with items for the kitchen, dining, and other Japanese items. This shop is much smaller, no room to roam around like the other shop, where you could ogle and awe at wares. The owner of this shop is helpful. They have an adequate selection of ikebana vessels from Japan unlike anywhere else in LA. The prices are average considering import costs. Overall this shop is an important mainstay in the Japanese community.”

“My favorite place to shop for gift for loved ones and myself. They have incredible themes throughout the shop and lots of variety to choose from. This shop has very kind staff that brings so much warmth to their customers making it a very comforting and enjoyable experience every time you are shopping. ?️?”

“Wonderful array of gifts. Bought a candle (Apple, cedar wood and sandalwood) which has a wonderful aroma. Small candle and fairly pricey but I would consider it worth it. Nice selection of artwork, too.”

“I was visiting the Japanese Village in LA when I stumbled upon a small Maneki Neko store. There was plently of items to choose from. I found a cute tea set I was looking for. Priced reasonably.”

“RW is a wonderful part of our local community. The gentlemen who run it and the young woman who works there are also gems. The store itself has countless treasures, but their service and hospitality make it exceptional. They also work with local culinary and creative artists so there are truly unique finds among their merchandise. They make any occasion special!”

“The storefront appears closed, but the sign says they're open. You will be greeted by two tiny dogs at the door and the kind shopkeeper comes to grant you entry. At first, it looks like a bunch of knickknacks and novelties. Then you'll see Coach, Kate Spade, LeSportSac, Kipling, jewelry, Japanese cosmetics, and other more luxurious items further inside. The shopkeeper is very friendly and seemed ecstatic to have a customer she could talk to in Japanese and broken English. (Because of the pandemic, I figured times are hard for the elderly...and so why not support a small business?) I bought lemon manuka honey drops, "magical lips" lipstick/lipstain, almond brittle popcorn, and some neat coffee sticks that Whoopi Goldberg raved about back in the day. Everything is dangerously delicious! This Magical Lips stuff is life-changing! It lasts nearly all day and doesn't rub off from wearing a mask just like the shopkeeper said! I had to return and buy more to give to friends! I want to try the other things she has for sale since I'm already having a good experience with her products. Unfortunately, the two adorable little pups at the door are not for sale.”

“The store is astonishing, with something new to discover around each corner. The art and crafting are exquisite (and surprisingly affordable), and Erica impressed me with her knowledge, generosity and deep understanding (and explanation) of the spiritual roots of the pieces on display. Thank you so much for giving your time and patience to a poor, adrift Kiwi, and for sharing the treasures of your home with me. No puedo esperar para visitar la ciudad de mexico ahora. Mauruuru koe mo nga mea katoa, e hoa.”
