Miffy

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Jini Mini was a very cute store! It was pretty small, and very crowded but it had a good selection of jelly cats, which is what my friends and I were there for. Regarding service, the line to purchase was quick and easy. The jelly cats were very expensive, but were expecting the prices to be around 15-100.

Placed my order online on Saturday and they shipped it the same day! It arrived on Monday. My jellycat was packaged nicely. I'm so happy with the super quick delivery. Thank you! Will definitely order again!

I love coming here to pick up my Korean/Japanese beauty products, specifically Korean brand…read morefoundation. It's a small specialty boutique with all kinds of cute, trendy Japanese gift items & Asian beauty products (i.e. Twee, Tirtir to name a few) including skincare, cosmetics, and trendy gift items. I stock up on their Jung Saem Mool cushion foundation - April 2026 @ $54 comes with refill. Store is a little cramped but I usually go in to get what I need and I get out. Parking is a beast at the Diamond Jamboree lot so try to get there during non rush hour times. They open late after 11am so a bit of a hassle if you're in a rush and crunched for time. Service has always been good when I'm there. The staff is friendly and give good suggestions on what products work for their skin type (Asian skin).

Currently this way are a lot of various Labubu for sale. I like coming here for their whitening skin care products, as well as serums for long luscious eyelashes. A lot of their products are in English and translated in Chinese characters. Maybe they need to include English translation as well. Small store packed with a lot of products. Only 1 cash register so you have to wait a long time to make your purchase. Some items for sale do not have prices on them so you have to get a price check at the register. Located at Diamond Jamboree plaza off Jamboree and Milikan.

I held the gift at my seat on the plane. When we opened it at my son's house the tongs were chipped. I immediately called the store and they said they would call manufacturer . They never called me Back. I had to call again and they said they would call back. Never did. Bottom line I should have gone to Bloomingdale's. Despite the cordial nature of the owner and his partner they didn't offer any compensation nor did they even have the courtesy to get back in touch with me. Brandon finally called once he read my two negative reviews. Almost two weeks to the day when I called him. Again, the item was defective and no recourse was offered to me. His response consisted of blaming me for carelessness in transit. Absolutely nothing true.

Parking can be difficult! Go just before opening hours. Highly recommended! You bet, I'm coming back!!! Thanks so much! LOVED!!!!!

I absolutely love Pen Pals because…read morethey are a place of comfort for me as someone who loves stationery supplies and all things cute. The prices are competitive and fair, and the shop puts tremendous care into curating the items they offer to those who love stationery, stickers, and cute things. And the service has always been so warm, welcoming, and encouraging. I've had the privilege of knowing Matt, Sandy, and Aja since they were 'Plant Matter' and now they're Pen Pals. There aren't alot of stationery places as it is, so I am so glad that this shop exists. Word from a carrier pigeon is that the Pen Pals will have an expansion of a brick and mortar store soon, and I can't wait for them to finally announce the location and be open with even more selection of goods. I frequent this place often to scout for stickers, and Pen Pals never disappoints.

The airstream trailers have a well-curated selection of stationary supplies, stickers, cards, and much more. Though it is a small shop, they have limited supply but it is reasonably priced. I'm looking forward to coming back when I'm in the area again. They also have fun mirrors to take selfies in with your friends & 'pen pals'!

We love this store for gifts and treats for ourselves!…read more It's definitely a great place to grab a gift - there are so many fun options, so whether you want a unique edible item, lovely kitchen towels, or a beautiful wearable item, you're sure to find something. We love the spice mixes and especially the drink syrups for our house - they're the perfect thing to have on hand to make any evening or gathering extra special. The service is always so friendly and welcoming. They will package things up beautifully for gifting and make suggestions, but they're never pushy. It feels so homey and is the sort of place you feel good about supporting.

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!!!
