A cute little store that sells a variety of adorable plushies! They even carry some Jellycat plushies without charging any extra markup, which is a nice bonus. If you're looking for a gift or just want to treat yourself to something cute, this store is definitely worth checking out!

Wall of bag charms

Oh my, this is a very cutesy place. I've eyed Jini Mini a lot as I'm often nearby but didn't know what they had in store. Recently, I came across them on a hunt for cute bag charms (thanks, Yelp Assistant) and I was blown away by the selection! In addition to tons of plushies, they have a whole wall of bag charms. I didn't find what I was looking for (something Disney and/or cherry-themed) but I found a cute charm for a friends birthday gift and the claw clips on the shelf below caught my eye because many of them were metal and large. Perfect for thick hair! The cashier confirmed this as well which made me feel confident and I can confirm they hold up with long, thick, hair. It seems like this place does a lot of limited drops so definitely get there early if you're looking for a trendy item. But, it wasn't too crowded when I went around 11am.

Updated - they did address my issue and I got a refund though it required quite alot of effort for something that really wasn't my fault. A constant back and forth can be pretty draining - nonetheless I'll visit again as they do keep the social media updated hopefully my future experience is better.

Even as an older adult, holy cow, this store is so cute! I don't know much about the popular stuffies these days...I've just become aware of the brand, Jellycat, from my kid, and this place has a good collection of them along with Snuggle Bunnies, Mon Ami, Miffy, Hello Kitty, etc. They also have the popular blind boxes. This is located in The District at Tustin, on the Jamboree Road and Barranca Parkway side. It is sandwiched between Ulta and Nothing Bundt Cakes. I mean, everything is just cute...but kind of expensive. I don't need any stuffed animals at my age, so I only come here when my kid wants to. They do have a nice selection of bag/key charms so on this most recent visit, I did end up buying one - Gromit from Wallace and Gromit...he was the last one, and the employee said that they discontinued them so of course I was like, ring me up, gurrrl. He was $15, and most of the bag/key charms are around there and up. They also have Snoopy stuffies, which my kid loves (but has no money to get one). They do offer a 7-day return period for in-store purchases granted they are in their original condition/packaging, but blind boxes and clearance items are final sale.

CALLING ALL MIFFY & JELLYCAT LOVERS!! Jini Mini is the spot if you're on the hunt for a miffy, jellycat, snoopy, or gudetama plushy! This store is so cute and really is the perfect place to find a gift. They have an awesome selection of plushies, keychains, and baby toys. During our visit, they even sold traditional kids hanboks. The workers are friendly and helpful. Prices of each plushy is about $20-$30. We picked up a coffee cup and sun jellycat. The plushies are so soft with quality craftsmanship. This store is moving locations to Tustin in February 2025 so keep that in mind.

super cute little place by Pavillions. Sign says they're moving to the District down the street soon. Little pricey for such small items, but to be expected for Jelly Cat items and such. Toys seem like good quality and are very soft. Cashiers are super nice and helpful.:) They even give the cutest bags.

This is such a cute shop and new-ish addition to central Orange County. I used to frequent this plaza when I lived in West Irvine and recently stopped by when visiting a friend who still lives in the area. If you're a Miffy or Jellycat fan or just really love all things kawaii, then this is the place for you!

Sanrio Section

Jini Mini is a gem of a gift shop with some of the best Jellycat selection in SoCal! This spot is located in the Orchard Hills plaza where there is a good amount of parking spots. Inside, they have a bunch of plushies, keychains, and other goodies. They are mostly known for their Jellycat selection but they also carry a great selection of Miffy, Snoopy, and Sanrio products! All of the staff here are very friendly and welcoming. Everytime I stop by here, I never leave empty handed! Come stop by here and check it out for yourself!

We stopped by earlier this week to check out the store. It's a super cute shop with a wide variety of Jellycats, plushies, keychains, bags, bag charms, baby toys, and more. The store is located next to the Ulta and Barnes and Noble. The prices vary but are reasonable compared to online prices. There was one friendly employee working at the time. My boyfriend loves Jellycats so we found a super cute dusty pink kitty plushie to add to the collection. There are new Jellycats and plushies always coming out so we'll definitely be back.

Jelly cats galore. So many fuzzy, fluffy, adorbs to pick from for graduates and little ones and everyone in between. What a cute store and the price comes with it too, no doubt. Three small cuteness will run you about $80 so be ready but no one leaves here without a smile and hearts full. Don't take your kid in there unless you're ready to spend. Good luck.

Original price - taken at 1pm.

Updated Review: Here's an update to my previous review. After I left the store and shared my experience, the owner personally reached out to me to ask about what happened and offered to make it right. It's easy for a business--especially one gaining popularity--to overlook a single negative review, but the fact that the owner took the time to reach out and correct the issue shows that they truly care about customer experience. I haven't had a chance to speak with the employee or manager who originally assisted me, but based on the owner's sincerity and professionalism, I'm more than pleased with how the situation was handled. Because of this, I'm happy to amend my previous review and will most likely return in the future. Thank you again for making it right.

So cute!!! So dangerous for me to go here... I would spend my savings here. Extra large stuffies are not for sale. They don't carry a lot of Sanrio items. Mostly jelly cat.

What a beautiful shop! I bought so many lovely and unique items there for myself and as gifts. If…read moreyou're looking for something special that you won't find anywhere else, Spice & Tulips will be the place!

Post surgery needed to learn how to eat completely different; healthy, no fat, no preservatives…read more.. What I was missing most was flavor! After online research, this small business was recommended for a wide variety of spices, balsamic vinegars and it didn't disappoint. Was warmly greeted, walked into a beautiful small shop loaded with things you won't find elsewhere! Enjoyed not being rushed or pressured. My experience was like winning the lottery! The owner was incredibly knowledgeable, listened to what I needed and suggested outstanding products that I'd never seen before. Fresh, natural and potent flavors! Just the selection of balsamics are worth the trip, truly! In addition to all of the above; it also has eclectic, upscale gifts, unique clothing, jewelry, cards, soaps, oils and so much more. All of it is has a high end feel but won't break the bank. Choose here for a unique gift or thank you for someone special! There is street parking and also a dedicated free parking lot behind/next to store. Once home, everything that'd been recommended was exactly as promised and so very delicious! This is absolutely a small business that should be cherished and supported often!!!

M.Lovewell is an independent stationery store located in Downtown Santa Ana near 4th Street Market…read moreand the shop hosts various creative workshops. This flagship brick-and-mortar location first opened in 2016 and M.Lovewell used to have a mini location inside Contra Coffee + Tea in Old Towne Orange (now closed). At the end of each July, the store offers Anniversary Weekend sales with an additional 20% off most items. [Parking]: There is a parking structure across the street for 4th Street Market. I had no issue finding free street parking in this part of town on Sunday afternoon. [Selection]: There was a tote-making station for a $25 DIY tote (choose a tote color and one patch, tell the staff where you want it, and the staff will iron it on for you) and Build a Washi Tin for $44 (limited-edition 10-year washi tin and choose eight washi tapes to fit inside the tin). I was quite impressed with the cute stationery selection including planners, pens (Tombow ABT PRO Alcohol Markers + Zebra's MILDLINER) from brands like Sarasa, Penco, Zebra, Mono, and Uni-ball, writing paper (MD Paper), cases and pouches from The Superior Labor, greeting cards, stickers, stamps, watercolor boards, Toyo toolboxes, etc. They even offer really fancy pens from brands like OHTO as well as $200+ fountain pens and inks for fountain pens. They have tester pens for customers to try out. On their website, customers can preorder The Hobonichi Techo for new releases for the upcoming year. [Conclusion]: Overall this shop focuses more on Japanese stationery brands (they do not sell MUJI here) and personally this is one of the best pure stationery shops in Orange County. I like this store much better than places like Shorthand, Baum-kuchen, or The Social Type in Los Angeles.

CUTE INDEPENDENT SHOP (4 stats)…read more There isn't much happening in downtown Santa Ana but there are a few hidden gems. Did I overhear that this place has been open for ~10 years?! I stumbled upon this shop while walking around the small downtown and as I walked more east I questioned should I turn around? Right when I was able to this store popped in view and I had to go in! What a cute shop if you are into stationary and pens and etc. I love supporting small independent businesses so I was determined to leave with something. There were a collective of independent products from different companies/artists that sell their items here. I didn't expect to leave spending $70.05 on 5 tiny items. WAX SEAL ($20) - by Made of Honour. There weee a handful of styles available. Very nice packaging. SEALING WAX BEADS 100pc ($9) - by Fiona Ariva. Variety of stunning colors. WAX SEAL HANDLE ($9) - by Fiona Ariva. I believe this is the standard size that fits other brands. BOAT PEN CASE ($13) - by Luddite. I been looking for a small compact pen case for my very few ones that i own and this was what I was looking for. ANTERIQUE BALLPOINT PEN ($13) - I love this mini pen and how it writes. The store DOES sell anterique refills BUT not the mini anterique refills that is needed for this pen. You can order the refills online on Amazon. So here's what gets me about shopping here. - California State Tax (0.5%) - Orange County Tax (0.25%) - Santa Ana City Tax (15%) - Orange County District Tax SP (0:5%) - Orange County Tax SL (1%) ^^ Added an additional $5.95 to the initial subtotal. That's alot in my opinion! Cool store, with a checkout. Until the next review....
