Took a friend of mine to Lil' Thingamajigs recently because they have so many cute knick-knacks,…read moreand since her daughter loves Hello Kitty, I thought it would be the perfect place to find something she'd like. To my surprise, when we walked in, there were no customers--just the cashier (the owner's wife). My friend and I started browsing the jewelry section and found a few cute pieces, but we noticed the cashier hovering nearby, which felt suspicious. It genuinely seemed like she was watching us to make sure we were "only looking," and it gave the impression she thought we might take something. It was extremely uncomfortable and made it hard to shop in peace. The whole experience changed how I feel about the store. I wouldn't shop there again, nor would I recommend it. The prices are also on the higher side.

I have been on a Labubu quest for months. I have searched every Asian store that I could find. And,…read moreI came up empty handed, until now! Thank you Pop Mart! I got "Checkmate " in all of her glory. She is a yellow Labubu with a pink heart and crown. She came packaged carefully and handled with care. The selection was limited because these dolls sell out as soon as they get them. I was really lucky that Checkmate was one of the three I was looking for. And, I didn't pay the crazy fees other stores are asking. Don't get me wrong, she wasn't cheap by any means. But, in comparison, it was much better. I would recommend them without hesitation. Now, I need 2 more for the holidays. : ) Wish me luck!

The hotel partners with the shop, offering guests 10% off purchases, so we stopped in here every single day--even twice one day--to stock up on souvenirs and gifts. The selection of items was great!

Staff was nice and remembered us each time we came in, joking on the last day that we were their favorite customers since we had been there so many times LOL! Overall, this shop is great. Will absolutely be back next time I'm in Alexandria!

We walked inside and were immediately greeted by an older lady. She asked where I'm visiting from, I told her Connecticut. She said "well, in Connecticut, you're known for Mystic Pizza. Here in Virginia we're known for our peanuts!" I never knew about Virginia peanuts. She handed me a few handfuls of different varieties of peanuts to sample. These peanuts are larger, drier, crunchier than others I've tried, and they have so many flavors. I don't mind peanuts, but they're not my favorite snack. In addition to the peanuts, they also sell the typical things one might find in a touristy gift shop. There's candles, magnets, tee shirts, and other items that say Virginia on them. I liked the outdated look of this little store. The lady working here was very friendly, if it weren't for her I would never know about the Virginia peanuts.

I recently took them to this shop to choose a treat and used it as a bargaining tool to get Korean bbq afterwards. We spent .. a LOT ... of time checking out every single aisle, and examining every single item so they could each choose a treat. My three-year old chose a little plastic pink bunny that holds (great quality) hair ties. My seven-year old chose My Melody washi tape. If I had no self control, I would have picked every single one of their pens, a Cinnamaroll claw clip, BTS pillow, and ALL the stickers. Luckily I looked at all the prices and stopped myself -- you can get a lot of the same things at Miniso for a better price these days. This is truly the place to get a hit of dopamine.
