My husband and I have been coming to Lundeen's for years. Since long before the pandemic we have…read moremade a point of stopping by every time we are in Culver City. We are always curious to see what new finds they have on display. This is one of those local gems that we hope stays in the neighborhood a long, long time. There is always something funny, clever, or creative to explore. Many of their items are unique to the LA area or support local creatives. We've bought countless gifts for family, friends, and let's admit it - ourselves - here. They manage to include a wide variety of housewares, games, books, toys, art and craft supplies, jewelry, decor, and accessories into a cozy shop. There is an assortment of cards for life's many occasions, with creative sentiments and plenty of personality to express what you can't always find the words to communicate. We have spent many happy afternoons just browsing through the aisles and considering what we might want to buy. Upon reaching the register, there is always a friendly face to greet you and offer to wrap your purchases if they are gifts. We love that they take the time to select a combination of ribbon colors with the type of gift and recipient in mind! Thank you Lundeen's for being a bright spot in the city that offers genuine friendly service and real personality, and an opportunity to see and hold things before you buy them - a nice alternative to endless scrolling through online web stores!

This is a late, but important review! We were invited to my child's classmate's birthday party in…read moreearly October. We didn't know the family or child well, only that he was turning four and has an older brother. I purposely wanted to shop local and support an independent business, and a quick search on Yelp led me here. We arrived about an hour before closing on Saturday, which was great because parking meters end at 4pm and we found parking out front easily. We were greeted by an employee behind the desk as we walked in. She asked if there was anything she could help us find, and I let her know we were first time customers looking for a birthday gift with the details mentioned above. She let us know the layout of the store, her suggestions, but let us look freely. Over time more customers arrived with small children, and received the same courteous service. The store is clean and curated. I appreciated seeing well made toys and items inspiring imaginative play, rather than cheap plastic with distracting lights or sounds. I eventually chose a doctor play set as well as some items for my own children, such as animal figures and stamp markers. They offer free gift wrapping, which is a nice touch. The one alarming fact that stood out is that there were many empty storefronts on their block, so it's more important than ever to support our local economy. Their prices reflect investment in well made items, so I would not come here expecting big box store deals. In a world full of Target and Amazon, I would rather spend my money supporting a local, independent business. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back with our kids this holiday season.

Now I don't usually bring other people's reviews into my own, but...Did someone really give 1 star because they bought what they thought was the real Stanley Cup? ^_^ Well, you won't find stuff like that here. It's all gifts and cute stuff, fun things and just an adorable-ness overload with some anime and Kpop stuff thrown in. I'm 100 years old and my friends & I loved Mashimaro when we were little! I was SO happy to see a black and gray Mashimaro tote in the store. It was overpriced at $80, as are most things in here, but it's not absolutely terrible pricing. I mean it's vintage at this point, lol. In general, the pricing here isn't quite as bad as you'd think within a mall. The store is overpacked with items squeezed in to maximize the small store space. I think the merchandise may have been upgraded since reviews from several years ago because I didn't see anything that was not decent to high quality. I'll definitely shop here again.

There are a number of reasons why the Culver City location was so much better, but perhaps the main drawback at this LA location is the fact that the former had a real sense of ambiance, and uniqueness, particularly when it came to its cozy little cafe section. Now the "cafe" is pretty much just a space within a space. Another real draw to the Culver City location was the fact that they actually had a separate section where "Guest Chefs" could come in and teach entire classes via cooking classes that sometimes you have to sign up for in advance, and other times you could just kind of walk in on it. That was dope! And while the staff was friendly enough, and again ( don't get me wrong it's still a place that I will be back to to purchase much needed product), it's just an unfortunate reality that sometimes no....you can't duplicate the past.
