    Cat Guru cards

    If you have friends going through mercury in retrograde - get them something to deal with it here! This store has a lot of unique trinkets such as greeting cards, kids gifts, candles, beauty care, stationary, and jewelry. I usually come here when I need to get a gift for a baby shower because they have a good selection and they offer free gift wrapping (which is great because my wrapping is terrible). It's a small store but doesn't feel like it's crowded. A bit pricier since they're unique gifts but you can find some inexpensive items too if you really look. Parking is available in the Culver City lots - first hour free.

    I made a quick stop inside on my way to lunch cuz it just looks so interesting! There's a gift for just about anyone, and there's so much wonderful things to look at!

    Fun small store to browse. Has a bit of everything for gifts - books, knick knacks, jewelry, kitchen tools and a cute kids' section in the back. If I only knew a toddler whom I could buy a "K is for Kamala" shirt. It's pricey but many things like greeting cards are unique. For example, "LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED! so I can be in bed by 11." I'd say the jewelry is most reasonably priced. The employee was nice. The next time I treat myself to earrings, find me here!

    Gifts from the shop for a nephew

    Nephew's birthday was around the corner, and I was running out of time and ideas. Randomly walked by Lundeen's one late afternoon, and I was so glad I saw it. The store's descriptions and merch seemed to have what I needed, but it was closed; they close at 6 pm, so if you walk by after standard work hours, they may be closed. I made arrangements to drop by when they were open. When I visited the store during work hours, the employees were wonderful. I told them the age and type of toys I was looking for. They had pretty awesome gifts in mind. I found two books and a whack-a-mole sort of gift. As you can see in the photo, the shop also gift wrapped it for me too. I believe there's a certain price range or item count you need to meet for the gift wrap, but it was a great touch. Nephew loved the books Lundeen's had to offer. Still remembers who bought it for him :)

    Such a fantastic gift shop. I would have spent another 30 minutes browsing if I hadn't been dragged out by my family. If I lived closer I'd be a regular.

    I went here to find a gift for a holiday gift exchange. My first visit I was thrilled to find a curated selection of products from books, to notecards, jewelry, candles, bath salts and lotions, to name just a few. The broad selection made it easy to find gifts, and the clerks were very helpful. You can get up to three gifts gift-wrapped for free, and she did an amazing job. Stronly recommend - this store is a gem!

    See all

    Can't exchange a duplicate book (Christmas gift) for a different title. I try to support small biz, but don't buy a gift here.

    What a gem of a bookstore…read more Local hangout for Westsiders with tonssss of books, a café, lots of seating, and a children's section. They hold different events as well. I love that they have early hours even on weekends for those of us still up at 7am no matter what. Going in at 8am on a Sunday and seeing others already there? *My people* They have "bar" seating along the windows for working use with bar stools. Laptop/reading seating. They have tables and one BIG table for those enjoying café purchases and for those needing back support *cough cough* me. Village Well is just such a nice place to hangout in if you love books and/or need a place to work instead of home so you don't fall asleep. Anywhere that puts passion into books...is my favorite place.

    As a local author, I want to share my experience with Village Well's consignment program so others…read morecan make informed decisions. I placed copies of my books there, including a recent title that had been in the store for less than six months. When I followed up, I was told there had been no recorded sales and that books are subject to removal after a period of time without activity. When I returned to the store, I noticed that much of the "local author" section appeared sparsely stocked, which raised concerns for me about how long books are kept on display and how actively they are supported. To be fair, the store did communicate that: Authors are responsible for following up on sales Shelf space is limited Books may be removed after a certain period However, I think it's important for other local authors to understand that: Placement does not guarantee visibility or promotion You may need to actively check in and market your book yourself Unsold books may be pulled without much notice If you're considering consignment, I recommend having a clear plan to promote your work and staying in regular contact with the store. Just sharing my experience so others go in with clear expectations.

    What a cool lil bookstore! A romantic bookstore to be exact! I had heard about this pink bookshop…read moreand needed to go in search of it! I am so glad I did! So many fun goodies in there! Cool merch from sweaters and tshirts, to baggus and book sleeves and stickers and bookmarks! But the book selection is where it's at! So many great authors and titles! So much fun to meander through and find a good one that's been on your list for a while. When I walked in I was greeted and was left to my devices to roam, which I appreciated. Once I was at the register everyone was super friendly asking if I found what I was looking for and chit chatting about my selections! I would highly recommend this lil gem of a bookshop! They even have a vending machine outside, which wasn't complete when I was there but how fun is that!

    This is a fun stop if you are in Culver City, especially if you like reading romances. My friend is…read moredipping her toe in this genre, so it was a must visit. The store is feminine. Reflective of both the genre and its most female fanbase and female ownership. They have a good selection with a variety of genres. The staff person who helped my friend seemed really knowledgeable and made several good recommendations, in addition to books, they have some great tchotchkes like crazy stickers, bookmarks, cards, and candles. They also had a small stage for book signings. The space has a relaxed, friendly vibe. The Ripped Bodice is centrally located on a corner in a shopping, dining area. There is metered parking just outside and a parking garage about a block away. Go find a new read and stroll down the block to grab a drink or nosh while you delve in. Recommended.

    We do go to this location more often than other Barnes locations because it is closer but once…read moreagain, we went in last night and Jasmine was visibly horrible to us. We walked in, she glared at us- I tried not to think much of it, but as she was finishing ringing me up I looked up to thank her and she was literally grimacing at me, and this was after she tried to hurriedly ring me up without even asking if I was a rewards member (I am) or anything else. I keep trying to give her the benefit of the doubt because I also work in retail, but girl just seems miserable. Literally I have NO other issues with any other employee there, everyone else has been so kind so I brought my review up to 4 stars from 3. But if you're going to give me a dirty look Jasmine, wait until I turn around. This is a smaller location but I'll continue to visit, I just really hope Jasmine isn't there- it's always uncomfortable when she is.

    Honestly so disappointed in the customer service of this location now…read more This is a long one. I used to go to the previous location and customer service was always on point. Sales associates were friendly, helpful, and always down to talk about books. Now... I feel like I'm a bother for just wanting to buy my books and leave. This experience was the one that kinda left me wondering why do I bother with this location... (It's the closest location to me soo I guess there's that) First waiting 5 mins when multiples registers are open and only one other patron making a purchase for an associate to finally walk back to their register to help us. Young lady ended up being super friendly and all was fine - she's why this gets a redemption of 3 stars - Stardew pin gal you're cool. My family and I walk out I see a bookmark I wanted and u turn back in line. I get helped by a different woman - blond curls (really pretty hair, also I know both your names but don want you in trouble just disappointed) - who seemed completely bothered by helping me. Ok whatever we all have our days. She lets me know my membership is expired...something stardew lady missed. I ask damn ok I wasn't informed can I bring back my books return and repurchase and re up my membership. Now she seemed doubly annoyed and bothered. Come back in a few days she says. I let her know: no no we just walked out with the books they're here. She responds I know just come back in two days..... I look back at the line - empty. Umm so you want me to come back?? Yeah and just talk to whoever is here and explain what you want. Confused I walked out and hear her sigh and when I looked back the three sales associates went back to being huddled and chatting. Double checked policy.... Nope not a policy thing returning books.... TO REPURCHASE WITH MY REUPPED SUB is not against policy. Called a different store they said yeah they should've just done it in the moment. Checked stores hours not close to closing so that's not it. There have been other instances of weird stand off behavior that has left me wondering WTF is going on... Look y'all I'm not gonna tell you how to live your lives or where you should be working, just remember both sides of the counter are human and in a world where being a BIPOC is getting more and more dangerous, a friendlier attitude can go a long way.
