I visited St. Joseph Books while looking for something meaningful for my friend's mother's funeral…read more Not being Catholic myself, I wasn't quite sure what would be appropriate, but the staff was incredibly kind, patient, and helpful. They took the time to explain the different items and guide me toward something thoughtful and respectful of the Catholic faith. What I appreciated most was their genuine kindness and understanding during such a sensitive time. I never felt rushed or pressured to buy anything. It was simply a warm and welcoming experience. I'm truly grateful for their guidance and compassion. Thank you for helping me find something meaningful to honor my friend's mother.

I came in looking for a few items for my kids' Easter baskets (ages 1 and 7), and I ended up…read morefinding the most beautiful and meaningful things. I was also specifically looking for books about the saints and the Mass as my daughter prepares for her First Communion, and they had such a great selection. They also had sweet little items for my baby that I'm hoping will help keep him as calm as a baby can be during Mass They have such a great mix of children's books, faith-based gifts, and little extras that made putting the baskets together feel really special. Everything helped me create something that wasn't just cute, but also centered around our faith. The shop itself is so peaceful and welcoming. I also want to say thank you to the woman who helped me... she was so kind and helpful and really made the experience even better. I just wish I had gotten her name! I spent about $130 total for both kids and was able to get 4 books, a tote bag, sticker bundles, games like Go Fish, and even lotions made by nuns... honestly such a great find! I'll definitely be coming back!

It is just too bad that a lot of the other art stores are not open anymore and it's unfortunate. Michael is the only one that will carry Halloween items because Hobby lobby is a Christian run organization and they will not supply anything regarding Halloween service. Here is great. I highly recommend the store.

I love this store, as many similar stores went out of business in the last few years. I'm glad we…read morehave this one left with caring staff, good selection, although a bit slanted towards female customers. Extremely helpful people work there, they're generally care about their customers living the space with exactly what they needed. Prices vary but in general, you can find something for your budget. If you need to wrap your gift in a beautiful, wrapping paper with matching greeting card to look wow that's the place to go. I hope the store will stay for a long time, and hopefully the fact that they are owned by Barnes & Noble, is helpful to their survival.

This is the first place I come to find beautiful birthday cards, sympathy, and writing sets. I believe there's a buy 4 cards, get the 5th free promo (but don't quote me on that lol). The store always carries a good variety of quality gifts - for wellness, pet parents, or foodies, you name it! Often these will be on the pricier side, but it's worth it to support specialty creators. There's also the "paper cuts" section towards the back with discounted items, where you can also find some out of season or overstock. For example, I nabbed a Paddywax electric candle lighter and limited edition tote for half price last visit!

It is great to see an item on line and ask for them to hold it til you can get off work and they are happy to help you. I keep going back and back again and guess what my Christmas shopping is getting done early this year and I am less stressed and spending less. Check them out and get to know Hillary and Joyce and you will be repeat customers too! Can't wait for their Christmas items to hit their shelves.

Long Beach has one near the traffic circle that we frequent, but since we were in Lakewood this weekday, decided to stop into this one (there is also another one in nearby Cerritos). It's well stocked and organized inside...actually found some items on sale: 'priced to move!'. Pretty much all the knick-knacks and bigger than we've bought from various Daiso's have been good quality and durable: I tend to lose/misplace them more frequently than having them break. That's what happened for the various chip/bag clips, so bought some more of those ($2.25 which is the price for the majority of non-marked items here). Have had good luck with glass 'tupperware' containers here: tight sealing, very durable, great for storing food that stain plastic (e.g. kimchi). That was on the high end at $7.00 (since marked at 400 yen). Checkout was easy, payable by credit card. Getting good at bringing our own reusable bags to skip the bag fees prevalent in California.
