The prices are pretty fair, with specialty items from Japan literally all over the store. There is so much to look at! I recently came to get a new journal, and I was thoroughly surprised by the selection. The service is super nice, as they always help out and package everything nicely. Overall, Mai Do is a great option for cute and fun Japanese things!

I saw that they were selling limited edition Pilot opt pencils and pens. I saw that the pencils were 0.4 and they had really thin Pilot neox 0.4 lead. I happily purchased one.

We were…read moreimmediately greeted by the friendliest staff who were happy to chat with us about all the fun cards that line the store wall. Planners, journals, diaries, note cards, candles, and, my favorites - Le Pens. Everything was displayed so beautifully and the store had such an open, airy feel. There was definitely something for everyone with prices on all spectrums. I bought myself the prettiest new journal and a couple fun cards for my friends. Will definitely come back on a day when I have more time for browsing.

Peggy's is a cute Hallmark store, which is much bigger inside. Sort of like the TARDIS, huh…read more I didn't realize there was a Hallmark's in the area, when I went looking for one on Yelp. I was up for a drive, so I went down the 215 Fwy to Murrieta. Yep, exactly where Yelp maps said it would be. LOL Mind you, there are soooo few Hallmarks stores these days outside of a Mall locations. I needed to get a few cards and was hoping they had some extra goodies I could get for gifts. "That was a Bingo!" Lots of things to pick out and like I said, it's huge inside. They have a nice selection (see photos) at reasonable prices, too. From Star Wars, to Star Trek, to Doctor Who, to Mickey, Peggy's had a nice selection. I got to meet the Manager (Peggy I wonder), who was sweet and nice, in a genuine way. Now that I know Peggy's is here, I'll be back in August when the Hallmark's Christmas ornaments arrive.

Lynda, if you're reading this, I just want to let you know that YOU made my day…read more All I asked you for, was to show me to the "job promotion," cards. While you didn't have exactly what I was like hoping for, you walked me straight to the, "Congratulations," cards. There, you picked out 3-4 cards and helped me look for more suitable ones. You asked me questions that I didn't expect, but was so honored to let you in on who was being promoted. Your sentiment and just the mere expression of happiness, from YOU, whom I just met, got me all so happy inside. Hallmark.... When you care enough to send the very best. This store surely scored when they hired you. I am so glad to have run into someone who actually, genuinely really cares. I spent $7 in your store. That's all. But, I had the best experience here, today. Thank you, Lynda! I thought I would let you know, how important it is to have people like you, in shops like these. I was so impressed!

What a charming store!…read more They have a wide variety of gifts, stationery, art supplies, books, and the like. The staff were very attentive as well.

Warwick's in La Jolla is a fun place to shop for a wide selection of eclectic items…read more They also had a giant chess set outside, all setup and ready for people to play a match. That was a nice touch, extra service. The prices are not the cheapest but they have some really nice items, and as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for, quality is not cheap. There is some street parking on the road right in front of the store, there are also some paid parking garages nearby. It is also a short walk over to the ocean from here. Check out my photos of the store.

Parking is in the back or on the street in the front. If you park in the back, you get the first two hours free! The place is monitored by camera, so be mindful! Upon walking in, I was already looking at the tiny vending machine and sticker machine. I truly had to refrain from buying everything I was touching. There's notebooks, sticker books, stickers, magnets, washi tape, keychains, calendars, and more! I ended up buying a fretting card for my fiancé and a postcard. I stamped the postcard with their souvenir stamps as memorabilia. I wish I lived in the area... but I'm glad I was able to stop by! I'd recommend it!
