There is a playfulness about everything and I always walk out of there feeling the good vibes. And their gift wrapping is on point! 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.

Neither of us have visited in over 25 years and were looking forward to a trip this month. We've had to cancel our trip three times due to covid. Sadly, we just cancelled again. Blessedly, Treasure Chest came to the rescue! I checked out their website and ordered two Hermosa Beach-related items to give to my sister. The owner Darren was incredibly responsive to questions I had and made sure I received my items prior to my sister's birthday. She is going to love this beautiful mug! And I wound up ordering a second coaster to keep for myself; and it comes with that cute little black stand! Customer service is sadly lacking sometimes, so it is particularly appreciated when the customer is made to feel valued. Check them out!

Answer - it's a Canadian chain but on my recent trip discovered a part of the village that I never knew existed as looking at the directory one of the shops was a Black Clover sportswear store known for their symbol of a clover on their clothing. Besides this shop was a series of small shops which included a Macys. The plaza has two free parking garages on opposite sides of the village. Different restaurant chains are plentiful in this village and that is what I like after a long day of work.

You get the idea, it is the kind of place where you always find something interesting. Sure, you can probably find similar items online for a few dollars less, but that is not the point. It feels good to shop in person, take your time, and pick out something meaningful for a loved one instead of just opening another Amazon box. I picked up a Manhattan Beach puzzle for my in-laws and a California dish towel for a friend who moved to the East Coast to be closer to her children, both made for really thoughtful, personal gifts. The store has a warm, well-curated feel, and the employees have always been friendly and helpful. I love this shop and am happy to support a great local small business. Places like this are what make the neighborhood feel like a community. 5 stars for me.
