I went Christmas shopping and found some gag gifts for my friends who don't give one crap about LA or Hollywood but they'll know it's from me if anyone asks. It's priced decently too, and there is a lot of cute stuff in here. All designed by the same person who designs lots of tourist memorabilia. I've seen her name on products at the Farmers Market on 3rd too. Hey I would buy it it's cute. Wallets and bags and everything, seems to be made relatively well compared to the Sanrio stuff down the block for example.

Probably the most colorful souvenir store on Hollywood Boulevard!!…read more You can not just walk by this place without going in. That "Hollywoodland" sign out front will do the trick. They had plenty of souvenirs, shirts, magnets, etc. It was also great that they had huge photos of movie and TV stars as well as a portrait book of all of them. You can give yourself or a friend a mini Oscar, they had every option available. They had so many souvenirs I can't remember most of them. Great souvenir shop!!!

When in Hogsmeade, you need your Wizardwears! You don't want to be mistaken for a muggle, do you?!…read moreStop by this shop that is filled to the brim with lots to choose from, though sadly no Wizard hats at this time. The staff was friendly and advised they would give feedback to have hats return as I think they are essential for your full wizardwear look. Despite the lack of hats, I still found plenty to choose from and loved the decor in this store. Prices are similar if you buy the licensed merchandise from other retailers. A must stop every visit to Universal Studios Hollywood for me, so I can dress to impress!

For sure the best place in the hogwarts area for merch imo. Especially clothing items. I do…read morerecommend buying items early in the day cause when I came back near closing, because I didn't want to carry it around all day, some stuff was sold out... so even if it's a nuisance to carry all day better than missing out. Got some great merch & it made my day, best part of my day frankly was shopping here & wearing it around the park. Staff is also super helpful and friendly. I'm 4'10 and picked the size XS items. It was a toss up between XXS-XS so if u want size reference, my bf who's 5'10 felt the L-XL fit him decently. Depending on what size u get determines price at least for the robes I noticed the larger the size the more it cost. Robe $119 XS $139 XL, scarf $40, tie $39, headband $20, cardigan $90. They also offer embroidering for an extra $20 of your name per item.

A favorite stop when visiting Harry Potter world. The bright interior inviting and intriguing. All…read morethe favorites from the movie are tangible displayed just like you'd imagine. I wanted to try a few so picked up a bag and filled it. Pay by weight. Packaged treats are pretty hefty in size. Ice cream also available. Will definitely have to come back and enjoy when it's a bit warmer. Service was excellent! Welcoming and helpful friendly with a smile! From entrance into happy potter world it'll be on the left hand side.

This store is located right across the Hogwarts Express Train in the Wizard World of Harry Potter…read more The store looks gorgeous with all the candies, chocolates and desserts put on the shelves on one side of the store. On the other side of the store they sold fresh food items like fudge, muffins, large cake pops and even ice cream. We ordered a Oreo cookies fudge and their new Raspberry flavored soft serve ice cream. The staff members were friendly and packed our order within a minute. The items were little pricey as expected. We didn't like the fudge at all. It was hard and too sweet. But the soft serve ice cream was so good. The small cup portion was good enough for three of us to eat.

LATEST & GREATEST USH MERCH! Production Central is a gift shop found near CityWalk's entrance that…read moreoffers USH merch outside of the park! You can expect to find the same buzzy memorabilia that's currently trending inside the park. For instance, I visited Production Central while I was waiting to enter USH for FanFest and they had 90% of the same items you'll find at the shops during the event. Scooby Doo, Universal Monsters, and FanFest were the most common items as that what's on everyone's minds. The quality of the items are excellent, you'll find everything from button-ups, tees, mugs, to full-on costumes. I'd highly recommend visiting especially if you're not planning on entering the park. Staff are not pushy and they let you window shop. Most items are on the pricier side but what isn't at a theme park? I'll be back! I especially loved the enamel pins sold here!

After riding the Transformers 3D ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, the exit dropped us off into…read morethe Production Central. Production Central is a store that has all Transformers themed items! It's located at the Lower Lot in Universal Studios Hollywood. Some of the Apparel include the Cartoon T-Shirts of the Transformers and some of the characters such as Bumblebee from the more recent movies! In the middle of the store, you'll see Collectible Transformers figurines on sale. There was this Gold Optimus Prime on display that was quite expensive, but beautiful to look at! There were some Transformers plushies and toys offered at Production Central. You could even purchase a Collectible Sipper for $20.00 that was Bumblebee themed! This was a fun store to shop at, especially after the Transformers 3D ride! It wasn't busy at all, which was nice for a change!

This place is on the corner of Highland and Hollywood Blvd. Security was watching everyone like a 'hawk' but I would guess that you need to since you're in a high traffic area with wide open doors for people to run in and grab stuff. Prices are what you would expect being in the heart of Hollywood tourist area. Respectfully Reviewed.

While checking out the Hollywood Walk of Fame, this shop is a must! You gotta have a souvenir from…read moreHollywood! You know, "pictures or it didn't happen". In this case, it's "souvenirs or it didn't happen!" They have everything from keychains & tshirts to trinkets, jewelry, & stickers about Hollywood! Plus there's some cheesy Elvis statues & superhero statues to see! Friendly customer service here as well. More Tchotchke items for your collection & for the value of saying you were in Hollywood. Can't beat that! Didn't want to get kicked out for snapping pix so these pix from Hollywood will have to suffice. One employee was staring down anyone who would take pic inside the store.

Very small gift shop to the side of the Simpsons ride. It's designed to look like the Kwik-E-Mart…read morewhich is neat in itself. Gotta love Universal for going the extra mile for the theming and attention to details. The cashier is located in the middle and there's some limited items here that you can't get in other places in the park that are Simpsons themed. Staff are friendly and answered our questions (we were trying to find Dramamine for my boyfriend who got sick from the ride). If you want Simpsons themed merch, this is the place to get it. I was trying to find the Chippos plushie (I love that mascot and I remember always liking it even after the short mention in the episodes), only to realize that it's only winnable through the carnival games. Drat!

You won't find Apu but staff is dressed appropriately for the job even if they aren't Disney-level-friendly. Tons of fun Simpsons merch from clothing to toys to hilarious Homer Simpson aprons, mugs, pins, keychains, bottle openers, magnets~ all the usual fun souvenirs. But my favorite section? The cold beverages!!! You can find Duff labeled cola here. Note that there is Duff beer at the restaurants in Simpsons Land, but here in the shop it's just pop. Drinkwise, they also have Flaming Moe's Energy Drinks and ofc, Squishees. They also sell the infamous Simpsons Lard Lad Donuts here (or you can get them at their designated Lard Lad stand). Grab a Duff drink and do a cheers with your friends after going to Kwik-E-Mart! I usually get a drink and have a break at the bench right outside as it's never too busy. Plus, The Simpsons themselves do their meet and greet right in front of Kwik-E-Mart! If you're lucky, they'll throw you a wave or a huge while you're chilling out here.

Ok I know this was like 2 weeks ago that I was here but here is my review anyway…read more I mostly came here because Nathan For You was filmed here and I really like that show. But there was nothing Nathan For You related there or any references. I feel like if you are visiting and you want a cheesy souvenir, or you're a fan of Nathan For You this is the only way I could see anyone stopping in. Otherwise it's not really that worth it. They didn't even have any cheesy but good post cards there. But would only come again because I like NFY.

During Fan Fest this year, they had a bunch of One Piece merch and then slowly transitioned to DnD merch. When the new How to Train Your Dragon movie came out, they had a beautiful statue of Toothless right by the entrance. The merch here is really nice too and can find some neat gifts for anyone! It's nice to see some more blind box figures poppin up as well. Great shop! IG: @ammysalamii

You'll come across it as it's in the main street, on your way to the Simpsons, Harry Potter, and the Lower Level Lot. There are 3 different entrances. One of the entrances has Illumination and the other one was Sanrio. This store is so much fun! It's a one-stop-shop for Universal studio's animation merchandise! You'll find some of your favorite characters from Illumination Entertainment, Scooby-Doo, Sanrio, and DreamWorks Animation. You'll find all sorts of items from Shrek and Donkey Plushies, Despicable Me Toys, and a whole bunch of Sanrio goodies! My favorite part was looking at all of the Sanrio Merchandise. The shirts are so funny! You'll see a Jaws shirt, with the hello kitty in the water and shark below! There was a ET Shirt, with Hello Kitty riding the Bike and ET in the basket! There was also a lot of Trolls merchandise! There were a few Poppy Plushies and lots of shirts based on the trolls movie! Some of the apparel included short-sleeved and long-sleeved shirts. It was nice to see Cat In the Hat Merchandise being offered by the Animation Studio! There were some Thing #1 and Thing #2 shirts. Other merchandise included bags and Cat In the Hat themed blankets. This was such a fantastic store! We had several team members approach us and ask if we were looking for anything in particular. It was nice that the team members had wanted to help us! If you like to shop and are a big animation fan, this is a must-go-to store while visiting Universal Studios Hollywood!
