MAHJONG AND WHITE RABBIT (5 stars)…read more You know the store is good when the white rabbit is chewable! You know it's a legit Chinatown if they sell Mahjong Sets and White rabbit. I had my fur.baby with me in her stroller and was afraid they weren't dog friendly but they were and the 3 ladies in the store welcomed her yapping as I shopped around. They actually loved her! Their genuine customer service made me pull the trigger on a purchase. I came here to this store specifically for these large size emerald back mahjong. I am an avid mahjong player and can play Filipino, Chinese, and Japanese style. It runs very deep in my family (very deep). I own several mahjong sets separate from my family's sets and I personally like the oldskool vintage tiles instead of the new school tiles. And the green backs sold now are solid and not that emerald translucent. I came to check out their mahjong sets here and made a purchase (although I already have 4 sets at home). It came in the typical ugly plastic snake skin case - very typical of Chinatown Mahjong. They still don't feel like the oldskool titles but they look better than the new ones being sold online (I'm not talking about American mahjong tiles either). The tiles aren't painted and more laser painted. The acrylic feels lighter. At the time of visit they didn't have the magenta backs, only green and ivory. The ivory had the numbers but the greens don't. The ivory set looked painted (which I liked) but went with the emerald back because those are harder to find these days. Tile size is 1.5in x 1.1in.

They are located right on N Broadway in the heart of L.A. Chinatown. You can find paid parking at the various lots or street parking. Please do read the signages. I was nearby for the L.A. Chinatown Firecracker 5/10K Run/Walk & Bike Ride event a couple weeks ago. My eldest daughter and I dropped in to peruse this place. They had very cute stuffies for the Year of the Horse. I was very tempted to buy one for my brother because he was born in the Year of the Horse. Unfortunately, I didn't get it because none of them resonated with me. Yes, it's an energy thing. I didn't have any interactions with the staff. They were busy attending to other customers. Anyway, it's a fun and intriguing place to walk through. You never know, you may pick up some neat gifts to take home with you. Happy Shopping!

The Social Type is a stationery & gift shop located in Atwater Village. This is a brick-and-mortar…read morelocation as The Social Type owns its own wholesale brand. The shop has another location in Hudson, NY. [Parking]: Metered parking in Atwater Village, but luckily I found a metered parking spot across from the shop at 5 PM on Saturday. [Selection]: Very organized shop as pens are ordered by rainbow color. The shop sells a decent selection of Valentine's Day cards. The staff was friendly and even asked customers on what they were looking for. In addition to greeting cards and stationery, they also have candles, tote bags, etc. The shop also offers gift wrapping service and apparently they even sell red rose bouquets during Valentine week. [Gift wrapping service]: The service is only available at brick & mortar locations. Materials are purchased separately and holiday rush fees may be applied. The shop offers complimentary gift wrap on all in-store purchases (customer's choice of kraft box or kraft wrap with twine). During the busy holiday season, the staff may asks customers to drop off gifts and pick up at a later determined time. * Small (e.g. Small Book, Journal, Pen Box, Candle) = $8 * Medium (e.g. Shoe Box, iPad, Shirt Box) = $10 * Large (e.g. Oversized Books, Laptop, Coat) = $12 * Extra Large (oversized) (e.g. Oversized Kids Toys, Bedding Sets, Large Framed Art, TV) = $20+ [Conclusion]: The shop has a more diverse selection and is not limited to just Japanese style cute stationery. This is really a one-stop shop for anyone looking for a last minute gift.

I visited Deco Deco during a trip to LA and I had so much fun! I went in with a general idea of…read morewhat I wanted to make and was actually able to make two pieces during the two hour reservation. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable and gave a little demo with the glue at the beginning. The shop itself was really cute and clean; I loved looking at all the pieces they had on display. You get a limited amount of the bigger charms but I felt like it was more than enough, especially because the small ones were unlimited. Pieces take 3 days to dry, which is important to note if you'll be traveling with them. Overall, I had a great time and this was definitely a highlight of my trip

I was very excited to come here with my boyfriend. This was a last minute activity we chose to do…read moresince we were in the area and I was nervous that we were not able to decoden since we did not have a reservation. Luckily, when I went the store wasn't busy and walk-ins are welcome. With that, we were able to decorate. Parking situation is a bit tough depending on when you go. There is street parking if you get lucky. Just circle around a bit if you have trouble. You do not need reservations too since walk-ins are welcome. My boyfriend and I decided to decorate top loaders for our Pokemon cards and honestly, when I compare this place to other deco places, I will say other ones are better. The reason being they offer unlimited colors and charms you can put on your art pieces. Here, they limit you to either one or two creams (the colors of "icing") and charms too depending on what you purchase. Every extra charm purchase is $0.50. With that, this deco place was so fun but I would prefer them not making their stuff limited in quantity to creams and charms. Staff was nice too and the prices were okay. Like I said, if it was unlimited, it would be worth it but since it's not, to me at least it wasn't worth it.
