I do a lot of shelling and it was nice to see that they also carry local shells that I readily recognize. What would take me a season to find on the beach, they have readily available.

CANDLES, GIFTS AND HOME DECOR!…read more This is a cute little candle shop that is stocked with candles, home décor such as wind chimes, infusers and more. The first thing I noticed about the shop is that glorious scent as soon as you enter the store. It is wonderful and never something that can be purchased because it is a combination of scents and fragrances. They do have a nice candle selection of candles beginning with the Yankee candles and the hard to find long stem candles which add a touch of elegance to any space. They even have candles that crackle when they burn and definitely remind you of fall and being close to the fireplace. They have lots of little "machines and things" that seamlessly fit into your décor and introduce wonderful scents into the air. If you like the scent of a candle without the flame, try the wax pottery. They have those special "Poo-Pourri sprays" that are great for keeping things fresh (if you know what I mean). You simply spray and go and all is right with the world. If you want to set an elegant holiday table, they have these miniature tree branches that light up and can easily be incorporated into a very nice centerpiece. The possibilities are endless! All of that aside, I was drawn to the beautiful cards that they have available. I think the specific companies are Blue Mountain and Mosaic. These are modern cards for modern times. They beautifully express my thoughts and feelings and I just love them. I like to just buy a few for times when I am missing friends or just want others to know how much I appreciate them. They are highly recommended. You'll want to stop here while you are in town because this is a really nice store with great employees.

There was a time when I was quite adament in Asian entertainment, and when I say that, I mean more…read morethan just the typical mainstream anime. I loved anime back in the early 90s when it was niche. I loved K-pop right before the cusp of the Hallyu Wave before 2005. I even enjoyed Chinese entertainment prior to its expansion thanks Viki and the late DramaFever. Though other busiesses came before and tried to implement Asian entertainment, Echo Arts and Gifts was the one that became the "mainstay" for it overall. So being one of the only locales in Brevard County to attain Asian entertainment, you'd think they'd be high in rating. Well... yes and no. They are good but they also fall short on other things, too. Echo Arts and Gifts (which I will shorthand to Echo for the remainder of this review) is a Asian entertainment and novelty shop located in the west side of Melbourne Square Mall. Ergo, take into account they are open and closed during mall operating hours. Inside, the store is divided as follows. The west wall has primarily Japanese entertainment media specifically centered around anime. This includes knick-knacks, toys, wall scrolls, special edition anime movies and series sets, and figurines (which I will come back to for a very important detail later in my review). The "floor" is primarily trad or historic Japanese (or Asian) furniture, housewares, etc. primarily made popular to the west thanks to their inclusion and respresentation in Asian entertainment. The East Wall has incense burners and the counter selling weaponry of an Asian preference. Think of swords, sais, nunchucks, etc. Finally, the "speakeasy" back room has row upon row of manga and other unique Asian finds. Also, the somewhat 18+ content may be back here. Nothing blatantly graphic, but your body pillows adorned with images of anime girls in skimpy lingerie are on display here. Overall, Echo is an excellent one-stop locale for all your Asian entertainment needs, but that is omitting two details: 1.) If you are not willing to shop around for Asian entertainment, than Echo works for you. There are stores and businesses that don't strictly cater to Asian entertainent that sell it at cheaper prices. This is the problem other big media businesses in the mall had. Fye, for example, sells a plethora of musical CDs, but, at the time, Walmart, Target, etc. sold what was popular at a better price. Suncoast Movie Company sold a plethora of movies, but once again, other places - specifically the ones mentioned for music - sell them cheaper, too. The same can be applied to Asian entertainment, especially if you don't mind a daytrip to Orlando. 2.) Some of their wares are bootleg. My sister definitely saw this as some of their figurines were bootleg and not official. I see that Echo has gotten better in spotting the fakes, but at the time when more than half their wall was bootlegs, I brought it up with an employee there and he gave me the audacity to say, "Some of the fakes look better than the official, so you should buy those instead." Listen, I do recognize that some fakes do look better than the official, but if I go to a place selling figurines and I want to buy one that is official, then I better not hear a pitch about buying bootlegs, at all. Besides all that, Echo is generally a good place for your Asian entertainment needs. I've been going here through the two major management changes via the OG whe Jackie was in charge, followed by Sarah. I don't know who is in charge now, but I know Sarah left awhile ago. Through those years, I will say that Echo hasn't changed much. Ergo, I will give them three out of five stars, which means they are on average, a-okay. Do they stand out? Well... not anymore, but they are still the go-to in the area, and despite their flaws, they still do a fairly good job bringing Asian entertainment options to the Space Coast.

If you can walk out without buying a shirt, keychain or sticker, I would either be impressed, or think something was wrong with you. Free parking (time limit) in the back of the shop. Long arse lines at all the registers, but that's a testament to how popular this place is. My husband who is an (ex-)surfer, totally loved this shop.

I've wanted to make it to some of the other Ron Jon shops since then but haven't been near one. I don't know the best way to describe it. It's like a superstore for beachwear, keychains, hats, sunglasses, shirts, surfboards, art, trinkets, shoes, and a bunch of other random things. It's so much fun to walk around this place and see what you can find. I still have a souvenir magnet from my first visit. This time I found a shirt I had to have! Anytime I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in here. If you're in the Cocoa Beach area, this is definitely a must-visit!
