The bad: I didn't have time to shop for as long as I wanted because I had kids waiting in the car. The interesting: They're located in a plaza next to two kids places where one might celebrate birthdays so it's great if you come for a party and forgot a gift.

He will be getting new inventory in April so we'll be back to shop some more.

Plenty of seasonal items on display and stocked from Christmas ornaments, gifts, and even Hallmark Channel sweatshirts and long tshirts. Of course, there are many selections of greeting cards for various occasions. As I was perusing the aisles, an employee kindly offered her assistance. As for sales, most of what I saw was full retail price. Several years back, I had caught a great clearance sale and purchased NFL team items such as coffee mugs and beverage glasses. They are still in good condition today after plenty of use. Parking is easy and shared with other businesses such as Tokyo Central, Daiso, See the Trainer (Medical/athletic training) store, and others. 4 Stars.

The owners are involved in the community and care about making the South Bay a welcoming space. As a gay family in Hermosa it can feel sometimes like we are the only ones, but when my kids see the rainbows and pride on our usual walk from the beach up Pier Ave, I know we have settled in the right place to raise our family and are so grateful for neighbors like Curious making our little beach community feel like home.

She checked us out. While other times I have been in the store I have received wonderful assistance and suggestions, this time the sales clerk sold us what she told us was a miniature puzzle, which we realized once we left she was inaccurate. I do love this store and have found many unique special gifts for friends, daughters and myself. The store is located in Malaga Cove shopping center which has a wonderful breakfast/lunch spot, coffee, deli, market and ice cream shop. So a drive to Corners of the World shop is definitely worth it.

There's houseware, beauty products of all kinds and collectibles like blind boxes and kawaii plushies. Everything is a bit pricey, but considering the quality and unique imported items, it's expected. Online ordering for pick-up was a cinch; they got a specialty manga shipped within days and held it for me for over a week (just make sure you call in if you can't pick up in 7 days just in case). The website isn't the best, but it's usable if you know what you're looking for. Would come back if I wanted to order a specific item or wanted some unique gifts or beauty products. On busy days, it can get cramped fast in that little store, so be prepared.

But honestly would have spent a lot more if the fund were there. They're mainly a bookstore but I was there for the stationery. Would go again but specifically for the selection of stationery. Their books also consist of manga if that's your thing which looked impressive but I am there for journaling goods. It's in the Mitsuwa.

It's an alright Miniso, but it's one of the smaller ones and it's definitely the most disorganized…read moreones that I've been to, but it's not as bad as the super ravaged and dirty one that I've been to in SF. I attribute it to this being a super busy and popular mall and this location being strangely narrow and smaller, with a bottleneck in the middle. Because of the size, there's a bit more of a limited of selection. Instead of a rack and a display shelf like other locations, there's only a rack for Chiikawa goods, but it is what it is. Small section of Halloween goods, much smaller selection of skincare, Sanrio goods, etc. Again, smaller store means less variety and less goods, but the store does what it needs to if you're trying to buy something you can find at all the other locations or you need to grab a gift in a pinch and want to build your Miniso points. But this mall has so many blind box slop shops and actual good anime licensed merch stores, so this Miniso just pales in comparison price-wise. It's a busy store that gets crowded. Workers were chatting amongst themselves about Chiikawa and anime so at least they're not larpers, hopefully.
