They also have an awesome selection of artists' goods in the back of their store, and books in the front.

Everything is pretty reasonably priced, especially for being in this section of Highland Park. I'm always willing to give my money to support small businesses over billionaires, and I hope this store stays around for a while.

Old Chinatown classic, its like a crammed variety store. Some of the items I swear have been here…read moresince I came as a kid in the early 90s. If you like hunting for cheap treasures this is the place to go with random things like magnet toys, hell money, fake gag poops, incense, and plastic swords. Located in Central Plaza, its the area of Chinatown that used to be for tourists. Central Plaza was a romanticized take on China with colorful "chinese" buildings and string-lights and lanterns for night. It's survived so long a shame so much has fallen into disarray, I especially miss the wishing fountain. Luckily Import Bazaar is still running strong. The store itself is small with tight aisles packed from floor to ceiling with lots of different stuff. They try to cluster like-items together so it helps a bit. I personally love the chaos and the store frozen-in-time. My kid was so bombarded with the crazy variety of items here he had a hard time choosing what he wanted. The sweet lady working that day gave him a little toy car for free. They have a hilarious variety of fake cigarettes and cigars for you bad kids :)

müsh is a charming little shop in Silverlake, adjacent to several shops and restaurants on…read moreSilverlake Blvd. The primary focus is on crystals, gems and jewelry. However, I would consider this more generally a gift shop, because you can find a wide variety of items. müsh had a charming collection of woodcut-style cards for sale, one which I grabbed for a friend. I also spent quiet a bit of time looking at their interesting jewelry collection, including a parure of silver/brass and garnet jewelry. They cary quite a bit of jewelry featuring silver and semi-precious gems. There were also a number of geodes that were set and ready to use as objet d'art in your home, including citrine and amethyst. There was also a variety of paintings for sale: this place has a lot of things for home decor, especially for such a small shop. Definitely worth a stop in Silverlake.

This is the place to come. My description is only a brief list of the Services and products that they offer. Fernanda it's not only knowledgeable, but definitely the pen expert in the building. She kindly and patiently explained to me the differences between length, width, color and materials when it comes to penmanship. I had the pleasure of also utilizing their gift wrapping services, which is also something I highly recommend. They have some wonderful choices in the store, but you can also bring your own, which I definitely did. I love how all the prices are clearly labeled for every item even the smallest of attachments. This let someone immediately know the value of an item and what is required to obtain the goals for a project that someone is pursuing.
