Crush & Touch is an art supply shop located in Highland Park. This is one of several cards & stationery shops on York Blvd (including Shorthand locating right next door). [Parking]: There are plenty of metered parking spots and paid public parking lots, but parking can be hard to come by during busy shopping seasons. [Selection]: The shop offers various art supplies (e.g. drawing books), greeting cards, stickers, hair clips, pens, markers, Rolife DIY Miniature House, etc. This shop has slightly more selection on Valentine's Day cards. The shop was not as colorful as the next door stationery shop Shorthand. [Conclusion]: I didn't buy anything during my visit as I didn't see any specific items that matched what I was looking for, but I can see myself coming back here from time to time if I need to look for interesting greeting cards. read more

Magical one of a kind little local art spot on York Blvd. I stumbled upon Crush & Touch by chance on my way to my nephews 16th birthday. Before heading over, I needed cash because cash is always best with teens. The atm machine was walking distance from the shop and I ended up picking his birthday card inside which saved me the trouble of stopping by another shop on the way to get a card. I loved everything inside, wished I could have browsed longer. But as I was in a rush, I loved the originality of the owners graphic designs. I kept getting pulled in and stayed longer than I wanted. Thank you for the awesome selection, value, and service! Will be returning! read more

I LOVE THIS STORE!! They have such unique, cute items! Everything from stickers, journals, hair accessories, jewelry, and so so many art supplies. They even have a sticker mystery bundle that was definitely worth it for $10. The pricing is fair for how unique the item is and its quality. They also include a free sticker with every purchase. The employees are very friendly and helpful. Parking is fairly easy with all the street parking available in the area. read more

I've been crushing on this cute little shop on instagram for quite some time so I had so much fun browsing and picking up a few items in person! I got two butterfly hair-clips. Not too much damage done but I already can't wait to come back. There's a parking lot located conveniently in the back. Such a charming store on this trendy street. read more

I love browsing through these artsy stores that carry unique items that you won't find at the big corporate stores. My daughter had to have these unique pens and I found a great deal on a 4x6 sketchbook plus a Speedball carving tool kit. They had a big collection of colored pencils but I had to refrain from buying more to my already overwhelmed collection. read more

Crush & Touch - Blue 2023 - Gift Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

4 stars It is the cutest little store ever! It's got stationary products, art supplies, colorful stickers, and personal accessories. I was swooning over the hairclips and jewelry because of how adorable they were. I believe the hairclips were made by a local artist...unfortunately, I forgot her name... I feel bad about that :( Hairclips came in different designs like lemon, eggplant, leek, chili pepper, dachsund, australian shepherd, poodle and many more. Yes, you heard me correctly, design comes in leek, chili pepper, and dogs LOL! I would have purchased one...but $17 is pricey for a hairclip... Definitely very unique and worth a visit if you're in the area. Street parking only. read more

I have come here a few times because I love it so much! It is my go-to place for buying gifts for any occasion. They have a range of stationary, art, accessories, and knick knacks. I love coming for their unique stickers and hair clips. It's definitely a little pricey, but I think it's worth it since their items are so cute. The inside of the store is very aesthetically pleasing. It's a nice place to browse and admire their items. read more

I saw this shop on social media and had to check it out right away. It did not disappoint! There was a wide variety of goodies to choose from - stickers, socks, jewelry, paint, markers, trinkets and more! They also do fun $10 mystery bags of stickers which is a fun addition to a shop. Just like anywhere in Highland Park, parking can be a little tricky but there's street parking all along their shop so most of the time you can get real lucky. Highly recommend for all your cute junk journaling or crafty needs! read more

Parking: 7/10. They have street, neighborhood, and a paid parking lot. However, parking becomes more scarce during high traffic times. Merchandise: 10/10. The store has a variety of tchotchkes and I love them so much! The highlight of this store is that the offer giant artistic stickers at affordable prices! Prices are generally affordable with a few pricer items for unique selections. The shop is sizable and jam packed with little goodies in every corner! Service: 10/10. The person let me peruse the place without judgment and she let me ask questions as needed. read more

Fun store to check out when you're in HLP. There are tons of items to gaze your eyes upon from art supplies, art books, creative project books, hair clips / accessories, mugs, stickers, writing utensils, pins, keychains, and lots of other colorful, cute, and fun things. Could be the perfect place to shop for a gift or something fun for yourself! read more

Such a cute stop! Loved so much in here, kinda wish each sticker wasn't $3.50 but what can you do. Parking is super tricky so plan to spend some time looking for a spot! Overall I'll definitely be back because everything in the store was just so cute :) read more

Crush & Touch - Out front - Gift Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stumbled upon this gem while exploring Highland Park and it was our favorite stop of the day! Walking inside was like being transported into every artist's dream. Pieces by local artists are littered on the walls. Tables and walls are stacked with the cutest artsy fartsy knick knacks and supplies! Their card selection is by far the best one I ever did see. read more

Such a cute spot with tons of charm and incredible coffee to match! The staff was super sweet and there were a few nice seating options for working, but not very many. Georgia on my mind latte is my favorite. read more

Because I had stopped to get some tea in the area, I wanted to see what was down this street. I stopped at this store because I saw a cute little kitty keychain. And then I noticed how there was a lot of cute small items for sale. The lady was friendly and she said if I wanted anything, all I had to do was point at the display areas and she would get it for me. I noticed they also sold plants and asked her about one of them. It was out of my price range, but she very kindly answered any questions I had about it anyway. And she didn't pressure me to buy it. Overall, great experience and glad I stumbled upon this cute little store. read more

Coooooooool HLP stationery shop! Crush is tiny but mighty and packs a punch in the gift/card department for sure. It's located on a very happening area on York and I always make a point to stop in when I'm in the area these days. Their cards are more on the whimsy/colorful/fun side and their selection of giftable items (candles, shirts, prints, pins, plants, the like) always leaves me wanting to buy a little something for myself. The staff is really lovely as well and is happy to help you find what you need, make suggestions. etc. It appears that Crush designs/produces some of their own items in addition to bringing in cool brands. Prices are fair (cards are more than what you'd pay at the drugstore but less than what you'd pay at some other boutique-y LA shops). Parking in the area can be a hassle, but one you're here, the neighborhood is such a fun place to peruse on foot. read more

Crush & Touch - Card, nail polish, and sticker assortment! - Gift Shops Near Me - Los Angeles, California

To sum it up in one sentence I really love what this store is about. Highland park has such cool boutiques and shops, this one is no exception. A lot of people consider this a stationary store, but I wouldn't necessarily call it that because it has more to offer. Compared to Silverlake stationary stores such as The Social Type this place had a lot more pins, jewelry, accessories, clothing and home decor. I am unsure if this place is owned or associated with Big Bud Press which is right next door, but if you shop at one of those stores I strongly suggest you check out the other, they compliment each other well! I love their array of unique pins, which are perfect to put on my jumpsuits. I am also a fan of their one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces such as their earrings. They are just so unique they stop me in my tracks. This store isn't cheap, but I saw a lot of cute giftable things as well as accessories I moreso want than need. Parking is fine, you just gotta go into the neighborhood, find a meeter, or get yourself a paid lot spot. Make a day of it, go shopping along the street and treat yourself to some lunch. Make a day of it! read more

Every experience I have at Crush is the best. They've made it so easy to shop safely during the craziness of the pandemic, I was truly impressed. The staff is always so helpful and nice, too. Honestly, finding a place where the staff goes out of their way to provide amazing customer service feels like a rarity - and Crush employees crush it (apologies, that was [p]unintentional). I have quite a bit of anxiety, so knowing I'm going to an amazing spot like this with helpful people working there is like *chefs kiss*. They also carry the coolest and most unique items from amazing artists and brands. Any time I need a gift, I know I can always come here and find something great at a totally reasonable price. I always go here to get my partner fun socks. And then maybe I buy myself a cute-ass hair clip or keychain because I can't help myself okay? Anyways, I highly recommend this spot. read more

One of the coolest spots to pick up a gift in Highland Park. The shop is run by a creative couple, and it shows -- they've stocked the shop full of artist-made goods that I haven't seen elsewhere. Where else can I pick up a scarf with an illustrated meat pattern, an enamel pins shaped like a corgi, a healthy house plant, AND a vintage issue of Playboy?? There's nowhere else like this place. read more
