First time dropping in. It was during the annual holiday stroll. Cute little boutique. However super crowded--such a small tiny gift shop. There we so many people that I couldn't stay in there. Spun around in one circle and exited lol. Need more friendlier vibe. No welcome air warm greet. read more

I came to check out this little shop when they had Beetlejuice at the shop. My brother often takes my dog there when they go for their regular beach walks. After taking some pictures we took a look at the store. It's actually a cute little gift shop. They have lots of beach themed items such as cards, candles, and shirts. They already had some really cute Christmas ornaments for sale. We ended up walking out with a soft and comfy tee. A bonus is that the shop owner is really sweet and often gives treats to my dog. I hope to come back soon to check out other items that would make cute and funny Christmas gifts. read more

I love walking in here to see what new items they have! They have items that change with the seasons and holidays, as well as local gifts. They have a cute section for kids, candles that smell amazing, super cute jewelry, and lots more. They have a great selection of cards and gift wrap options. Don't let the size of the store fool you! The staff is always friendly. Lucky me, I work right in the village, so I can stop by whenever I want! read more

What a fun gift store! I bought a Harry Styles candle for my friend's daughter. Lauren knows the inventory well and helped my friend find a birthday card! They have cards for all occasions. They have beach themed gifts and candles and lotion too! This tiny shop has a lot of options for gifts! Lauren explained the play on the word Cartier for the name of the shop: Card de A! Thank you Lauren for being so helpful and wrapping the candle so beautifully! read more

Great gifts, cards, atmosphere. They are always updating inventory. Fun, local, cute store

Huge selection. Service is great. Been coming here for years! It moved from Rosecrans by Bristol Farms and still as lovely.

I love this store so much. They have a wonderful assortment of cards and gifts that you can't find anywhere else. Don't be fooled, it's a small store, but the items are thoughtfully chosen and there's so much to look at. When you visit, plan to spend more time than you think! Staff is always friendly and helpful. read more

Be sure to check out this NEW location!! Thoughtfully arranged with a great selection of unique cards you won't find at the grocery store! Fun gift items and I even found a fancy pen as a gift for a friend with a new guest book! The owner was super friendly when we went in and it appears a lot of effort has gone into both the selection and the presentation of the items in this shop. Check it out! read more

Glad this place still is around. Felt kind of nervous that they may have disappeared when I saw that their location moved. I used to go to this place a lot when I was living in the area and I would still visit when coming into town. It was great to connect with one of the owners, and very happy to hear that they are thriving and continuing to do well. Keep up the great work you guys! read more

such a cute store with a friendly staff - i often find a product here that just makes me smile. My go to in RB for unique cards and gifts.

They don't have a selection of pens. Weird for a stationary store. Came in for brush lettering pens, walked out with a set of fountain pen for children. It was around 25$ for the set where you can get them on Amazon for 15$. Not impressed by the lack of pens at a stationary store. They are more like a overpriced children's store from the looks of it. read more

I don't do eCards I don't do texts For special occasions. So....what's next? Card de A! They've got it all I was in there today And had a ball I hope ample time you've got Cuz there's plenty to see Park in the village lot One hour: $1.50 Cards, wrapping supplies, cool gifts galore I spent 63 bucks & I still want more Like those funny socks & a flag for the lawn Gotta go back cuz I'm not done As far as cards There's a big selection Pleasing me is hard Cuz I want perfection I saw a key ring That couldn't be cuter It had a little fake flask That read, "Get Me An Uber" Got no paper money?

I am glad this place exists. It's just around the corner from my office, and I needed a greeting card for a graduation... yeah, in December. LOL. I found what I wanted, and then some! They have a good assortment of greeting cards for all occasions. Thanks for being there when I needed. read more

I love this store. Great card selection and small gifts that you don't see anywhere else. I wish they were the bigger size that they once were because then they had more space to carry even more fantastic gift items but I can say that when I need a card or small gifty- this is the place I go!! read more

Walked into store to look at cute baby stuff for my baby boy and possibly a Father's Day gift. I wasn't even acknowledged. She looked like she may have been ordering from a vendor. She actually passed right by me to look at something in stock and still said nothing. By the time I got to gifts for dad. Which I wanted a couple of things. I was over it and just left. read more

The girls at Card de A are THE BEST! This is one of my all time favorite stores! If you are looking for a gift and unique card-look no further! As a Realtor, they always have the perfect items with a local flair to fill my gift baskets for clients when they close escrow. Card de A also has been doing a TON of fun events-from Mocktails to ice cream trucks, there's always something fun happening at Card de A-it's not just cards! xoxoo Keep up the awesome work girls! read more

Regardless of the occasion, Card de A is my go-to for cards. Of course it would be easier to just text or email a sentiment for free, but I think it's much more meaningful to take the time to hand-pick the perfect card and hand-write a special message. The added bonus is that many of Card de A's cards are mini pieces of art! I sent my sister a beautiful letterpress card with a lifeguard tower on it for her birthday. It's now framed and displayed in her kitchen. It's not the first card I've purchased that ends up framed because it's too cool to throw away! The other added convenience of purchasing cards at Card de A is that I always find the perfect gift to go with it, whether I was planning on it or not. LOL! I love the selection of unique gifts for everyone - women, men, kids, girlfriends, teens, yourself! It's one of those shops that's so thoughtfully curated you'll want to browse forever - and you will not leave empty handed. I'm very impressed with the new owners and so happy that they kept this stationary and gift shop destination alive and revitalized in the South Bay. They will greet you with a smile and help you fulfill all the items on your gift list! :) Happy shopping! read more

Greatest card shop ever! The owners put so much love into their inventory and decor. They are delightful to see when you walk in. Excellent customer service! Their card selection is insane and there is a card for every occasion you can dream of! Their gift items such as candles and home items are perfect. I could go on and on. I suggest you go check it out yourself. You will kinda want to move in. The ambiance is charming and fun! read more

I love this place. I have been sometimes though when workers are too snooty to talk to me but their products are great. Some stuff a bit pricey but this is a great gift store! If you are looking for unique for every occasion cards or other cute things like magnets, earrings, lotions funny little books or inspirational thingy's this is the place. read more

I've gone into this store several times and no one ever seems to acknowledge that I'm there. Not a hello or are you looking for something in particular. My most recent visit, I found what I was looking for and went to the register to purchase. The owner is continuing a conversation with another customer (someone she obviously knows)doesn't even look at me to say hello! Doesn't ask if it's a gift or anything! I live in the village and try to purchase at our local shops. Don't know that I will shop there again. Which is unfortunate because they really have darling things. read more

I needed some Xmas ornaments for some family that live in the Redondo area. I reached out to Lilah and she was amazing. She helped me get everything together for a family of 5, packaged it beautifully and will send it out. I can't emphasize enough how sweet and caring she was, she went out of her way to take care of me and I appreciate it so very very much. I will be a life time customer and you should be too. Thank you so much and happy Holidays to everyone at Card de A read more

This card always carries such unique cards and small gifts. I'm sorry they downsized but still my go to for great cards, wrapping paper and small gifts. read more

I was in card heaven. Not the plastic kind, but the sweet kind. The variety of cards here cannot be beat. So many different cards for so many different occasions. If you are getting wedding stuff ready, I'd say this is a great place to do that too. I felt like a kid in a candy store. I wasn't particularly looking for a card, but I had to get something after stepping in there. Mother's day is more than a month away, but I bought some Mother's day cards anyway. Great wrapping papers too. I am not going anywhere else for cards now. No more searching for Papyrus in major malls! read more

Sure, when sounded out, this store may sound swanky. You can fool your friends into thinking you're going to do some serious shopping. And, really, you can! Card De A carries everything from great greeting cards (some even better than what you can find at the car wash - and let's face it, the car wash has the best cards!), to wedding invitations, chocolate, jewelry, bath bombs and even Kama Sutra items. This is where I go if I need to get a birthday gift and don't have a lot of time to shop. They have something for everyone! read more

i have been a CARD DE A fan for over a decade...since back when there were 3 south bay stores, and this one has always been my favorite! there was a brief time a few years ago when there was a limited & questionable selection, but thankfully now that it's under new ownership, the old CARD DE A is back better than ever...i'm talking about the CARD DE A you can always find those one of a kind gifts for reasonable prices. an abundance of merchandise is grouped by genre or holiday, but it's super well organized and not at all cluttered. the window displays are always so festive and alluring; they make you want to buy everything in sight...especially at halloween! sometimes i pop in just to pick up a card...although i end up with 5 because there's so many great ones to choose from. let me put it to you this way; i already bought my husband's birthday card...for his birthday in march! i literally find myself laughing out loud while reading some of them! the staff has always been sweet, helpful, and friendly. i go often enough that i recognize many of the girls working there, and whenever i ask them for a suggestion, they are all quite knowledgable of the merchandise. this is where you go if you're looking for a gift for that special someone who seems to have everything. instead of spending a lot of money on a useless knick-knack, go to CARD DE A where i bet you'll find that perfect, thoughtful lil something! read more

I too, being a South Bay yelper shop at this card store. As the ladies have already said its a great little card shop that carries everything for your card-buying needs. They also carry lots of cute little things to buy like ornaments during the Christmas season, funny books or gag gifts, some home decor like plates, candles etc. Its a fun place to shop for a card and gift all in one spot. read more

I truly miss the Card De A formerly in the Bristol Farms shopping center on Rosecrans, and have tried to "made do" with others in the area. But recently decided I had to make the trip to Hollywood Riviera to Card De A Too. This center has the BEST cards ever. OK, no hand made cards ... but seriously funny and unique cards are found there. I have a sick sense of humor and love to give cards that are not of the "Hallmark variety" if you know what I mean. When I go there, I drop a bit of money. I like to give great cards and this is one place to get them. This last trip, I was after Christmas cards and when I got to the counter they even had "Christmas light necklaces" on sale there. Had to get one of those too. (they look like small lights and even flash!) Quite a selection of other small gifts too, for "over the hill" gifts, Valentines, etc. etc. I like that this spot also has Trader Joes next to it, which is also a plus. This is a great TJ's! read more

I used to stop by this location once or twice a month for cards & to grab nice specialty items. Alas, this store is not what it used to be. The store feels cluttered, is not easy to walk through & no longer feels like the neighborhood go to card store it once was. I went in 2 weeks before Thanksgiving looking for an item that I have been buying here for years. There was SO much Christmas stuff I couldn't find anything but Christmas stuff. I asked the sales girl for help, she was futzing around with boxes of Christmas cards & did not even make eye contact when she replied, 'Oh no we don't have that. You can go online & get it yourself.' Indeed, I can. You lost my business Card De A & I'll wager with this mentality I'm not the only one. read more

When I lived in Manhattan, I couldn't wait for my weekends on the west coast. Frequently I'd spend my time in the South Bay, and I always loved spending a couple of hours browsing in Card De A, Too. Sure, there are plenty of card shops in NYC. Even so, I can only think of one card shop on 57th street that has as much variety and quality. Whenever I needed a card for someone special, I knew I could find it here. Many times I would leave having purchased cards in anticipation of future occasions...birthdays...thank yous...from the dog...pet sympathy...pet sitter...sorry I dumped you, but you'll get over it soon enough... There's a perfect card, or two, for every event. My friends, family, and boyfriends have loved my cards over the years. Except for the "sorry I dumped you" cards...not such a big hit. If you need a card, and Card De A Too doesn't have it, then you might as well sit down at the kitchen table and make one yourself because you're not likely to find it anywhere else. Be sure to spend some time browsing, because they have such a wide variety, and the verbiage and quotes you find are first rate. They even have cards for encouragement, inspiration, promotion, termination, changing career, change of life, divorce, adoption....it's limitless. read more

Very nice sweet place with great workers. Prices a little high for the cards but great local place that I will continue to visit and purchase my cards at. read more

Great selection of large (28" x 40"), decorative garden flags (e.g. for Halloween), priced around $27 plus tax. Some flags have complex designs with hanging decorations etc. Overall this is "A-OK" but, if you're in the market for several flags, you'll do much better price-wise shopping online, but I prefer to support the local merchants. read more

They have such a great variety of not only cards but you can find gifts for all ages for all occasions. One stop shop. And of course Kim and Lilah are amazingly friendly. read more

CardDeA is the best place to get cards, gifts, and unique locally made items. I find fun presents for friends and myself! The new owners are so sweet and welcoming. They have brought so much energy and fun to the Riviera!! read more

I love this store! The card selection is NEXT LEVEL, there are so many great gifts and the store owners are the sweetest. Any time I need a gift but have no idea what to give I go to Card de A and always end up with just the right thing. read more

3 Stars Thought this was gonna be some tiny card shop, but the place is huge. No clever "thank you" cards though, so I had to get a blank and make it clever myself.... They've got a bunch of other cool little stuff too, like the pop-up book of sex, fart in a can, and some books that sounded pretty entertaining. Front room's customer service was friendly (that's the side w/ the door facing the Trader Joe's parking lot), but the girl working the side room was havin a bad day and spent most of the 15+ minutes that I was there complaining on the phone. If you're in a whiny mood and there are customers around, you should at least txt instead of talk. When someone needed help, she was polite and helpful. Finding the place w/ the address punched into navigation wasn't easy, so you should just look for the Trader Joe's, and know that they're right next to the Yogurt spot in that parking lot. read more

Ok, so I am a certified paper products nut, and this place just makes my problem that much worse. I have never given a gift with a card and or wrapping paper from here that hasn't been complimented. It can be a bit pricey, but the pride you'll feel in being the cool chick with the cool gifts is certainly worth it. read more

Before their remodel and downsizing I used to love this card store. It was my go-to. They still have cute gifts, but their card selection is SERIOUSLY lacking. I went to get Father's Day cards for my husband, dad, and father-in-law and was so disappointed. The grocery store had a bigger selection than they did. I ended up walking out empty handed for the third time in a row. Sad, cause I don't think I'll frequent them as much as I used to. Instead, I'll head to the hallmark store off of Beryl. read more

I love to visit Card De A because they always carry the "unexpected." For example one time, I purchased some soap for my sister entitled "Wash Away Sins" soap. Niiiiiiiiiiice! read more

Great card selection! Easy and convent to park- been coming here for years. Great selection and always nice to support small businesses

I was disappointed that I only needed one card. I wandered around trying to think of upcoming occasions that would require me to buy more of their cute, unique cards because I didn't want to leave. This is the best card store ever! They have tons of cards for every occasion, plus, they also have great gift items. The staff is helpful and friendly. What more could you ask for from a card store? read more
