This charming gift shop is the perfect place to purchase stationary, candles, jewelry, cards, baby gifts, and other quirky and cute gems. It's giving Paper Source Vibes, but is unique because it's locally owned. I went to find a gift for someone and ended up buying a gift for myself because I have no self-control when it comes to cute things. So when I saw the Punch the Monkey sticker I had to buy it and I stand by that decision. read more

Very nice gift shop. Has everything that you could get for a person. Books, greeting cards, stationery items, baby items, Ayala teas, Savon bath products, etc. Service was kind, and I had come in for the 3rd Annual Stationery Store Day crawl; this was their first year participating. I was happy to see that they had the official SSD merchandise too. There is a parking garage within easy walking distance. Respectfully Reviewed. read more

Lovely local shop - perfect for finding gifts. Unique offerings that are curated for people of all ages. It's out go to spot for getting the perfect card and gift for someone. I love their selection of kids items, jewelry and stationery offerings. They also have fun kitschy things for the friends who have it all. My kids have a hard time walking out of here without wanting something, so their range of price points is also good for that! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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 :) read more

Lundeen's - Gifts from the shop for a nephew - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Culver City, California

Amazing shop! Got a spot right in front and saleswomen were wonderful. Great products and gifts and cards!

After many, many, many, many moons of hearing about Lundeen's I finally decided to pay them a visit. They have a ton of books, puzzles, writing utensils, notebooks, and other tchotchke's which make for an interesting browse. I found a beautiful "Culver City" coffee cup here, which will make for a great birthday gift for a relative. Also they offer complementary gift wrapping, and wrapped this item so beautifully. Prices were fair and service was very pleasant. read more

I absolutely love this local, magical gift shop that is bursting with holiday spirit and cheer, year-round! I've been coming here regularly for gorgeous gifts, most recently, for festive Christmas gifts. Owner, Kathryn is a true professional with an exquisite eye for always having a wide array of fabulous, inspirational gifts, great for any occasion. I am always impressed at the great selection of gifts that suit people across all ages, from kids to grandparents. You can find incredibly, eclectic treasures ranging from thematic dog toys, games and an assortment of healing crystals. Great options for high value gifts at $20 and under, priced perfectly for white elephant gifts! They also have the most gorgeous gift wrapping around- I'm always so blessed to be able to share the holiday joy and engage with the lovely team of experts at this centrally located, Culver City, gift shop. Gratitude comes to mind! read more

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. read more

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! read more

Amazing selection of unique, thoughtful, and fun gifts for everyone. Great way to make a gift extra special. You'll surely find something charming for any age. They even have cute stuff for babies and toddlers. I especially like to shop here for small gifts that pack a punch, like for co-workers, my toddler's classmates, or stocking stuffers. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a peek. My only gripe is the store's limited hours. They are typically open from 11am - 5pm and closed on Mondays, so it's extremely difficult to visit during the week if you work a traditional schedule. read more

I could get lost in this place for hours and hours. Whoever does the buying is amazing. There is the coolest stuff there all the time. When you are looking for a unique and thoughtful gift for anyone, this is the place to go! No joke! You have to check this place out if you are ever in the area! There are the cutest things for little ones and those of all ages. Houseware, decorations, jewelry, a little bit of makeup, the greeting card selection is fantastic. Something unique and original for every situation. The books though. I really could buy every book in the place and be super happy. There is a lot of stuff in a little space, but it doesn't feel cluttered, it feels like at every turn there is something new to be discovered. I spent two hours here and I barely scratched the surface. Bottom line is there is something for everyone - something that is different and will be treasured. Come in and check it out...you will not be disappointed. +++They do gorgeous gift wrapping! read more

I love to stop into this shop and just browse all the incredible gifts and trinkets and unique finds! I've even bought some cute stuff here. From cute plant/seed sets to tableware and office trinkets to unique kids toys, Lundeen's has it all. And not only that, it's so fun to go in! The staff is always super nice and shares the same enthusiasm for the store. Truly Culver City's best gift store! read more

The perfect place to find unique gifts for any occasion. This cute little shop is jam-packed with a wide selection of curated items you won't find in big box stores. We picked up items for several people on our gift list on Small Business Saturday and were rewarded with an additional bag of free items. What a nice surprise! Definitely happy to support this local business and will be back. read more

One clerk's attitude needs to be improved. She is the whole reason I'm leaving this review. This is my go to place I buy a gift for my family, friends, and some fun stuffs for myself. I always love to go here and am so glad to have this kinda cool place in my town. But today March 12, I went there and the clerk in a black long sleeves and a light blue tee underneath was rude. I understand she might be having a bad day, but she was very dismissive. When you work at a gift shop being helpful and answering questions is a main part of the job. She did not hit that minimum bar. On the other hand, the other clerk with glasses was perfect in her service. She's the kind of service I've come to love at Lundeen's. read more

I saw this place on Yelp and figured, why not try it. They have a lot of more, you know, novelty products, and cute cards and decor, and a section for kids, we come into here a lot now and look around, I bought some stocking stuffers here, go-to place if you're in need of a high quality present or something just plain cute. However, it's kind of pricey in my opinion. read more

The BEST local gift shop! They have an AMAZING local greeting card selection! It's one of the only places that I buy cards because they are so good!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping by for local gifts and some well-curated cards! The greeting cards are a little on the pricier side, but they're well worth it for the quality and designs of the cards! Also supporting the local card artists is always the best! They also have a nice selection of housewares and small art for the home! As an added bonus, the manager, Maggie, is extremely kind and knowlegable of the products and card selection! If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask her, or any of the workers there! They will love to help you find the perfect gift, card, houseware, or book....then gift wrap it perfectly! (Which is always an added bonus to shopping at Lundeen's Gifts! SUPPORT LOCAL GIFT SHOPS! read more

I've been going to Lundeen's since the first week they opened over a decade ago. I can't say enough about what a perfect little gift shop it is.. and it packs a serious punch! PLENTY to choose from. The owner and her staff are equally as lovely as the items that they sell. I've never been disappointed w or regretted a purchase. read more

Very creative gifts for young and old. We bought gifts for our grandchildren, stickers and a variety of ink stamps. The staff is very knowledgeable and helpful! read more

This is the best place in Los Angeles to find a gift. I love coming here every time I need something special for someone special. The ladies in the store are such a gem and they can also give great suggestions for those times when you're unsure of what to get. They also gift wrap your purchase for free!!!!! read more

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.

Ugly children. Piñata with an erection. Evil pocket sized wizard, waiting to ruin your birthday because he hates you. What? No, I'm not high. These are just a few of the hilarious birthday cards I've found at Lundeen's. Forget a birthday? Mother's Day creep up on you this year? Need a goofy gift to cheer up your pal? This is the perfect spot, saved me plenty of times last minute. I'm telling you, the cards are far funnier than the garbage at a CVS or Walgreens. For real, the one with the "excited" piñata simply says "I'm so excited it's your birthday!" Some other favorites of mine: "Birthdays wouldn't be as fun if you had to spend the day hanging out with ugly children." (that's all it says) ---- "I know you think it's your birthday today but maybe it isn't. Maybe your parents just told you it was so you wouldn't find out you were adopted." ---- "If shopping doesn't work, try pills." (feel better card) ---- Monkey, to the Cow: "So, uh, you didn't wish me happy birthday. You didn't call. You didn't email" Cow: "...." Monkey to Cow: "You could have texted me. A text would have been nice. What - you couldn't text me?" Cow: "....." Monkey: "...." Cow: "...." Cow to Monkey: "I HAVE HOOVES." ---- Just really funny stuff, I can't take any more kittens hanging from branches telling me to "hang in there", or puppies with birthday hats on. I want FUNNY. Sarcasm. Weirdness. Things that make you go Hmmmmm. Lundeen's has it! read more

The name of their website is "lundeengifts" and that's what they are. Gifts galore. Lots of stuff for little kiddies on the Washington Blvd. side (the store goes through from Wash Blvd to Culver Blvd) -- clothes, toys, blankets, etc. -- and lots of other types of gifts along the walls and on the other side of the store. I went in with an idea for a particular gift and ended up getting something I really liked for a fellow yelper. Then while waiting for the cashier, I upped my ante to over $60! They have very unique items: a dove bottle opener, a wonderful selection of unusual books, candles, glasses, gag presents, and great cards. A very cool store in my hood, and afterwards you can stop for a coffee at Starbucks next door. read more

Really friendly folks who work there! Perfect hip selection for all kinds- kids, grownups, family members etc. definitely a good spot if you're late to a housewarming and want to get something cute. I got my mom some trinkets to beef up a card with a coupon in it for her birthday. They even went so far as to meticulously wrap her gifts in little boxes for that extra touch. Love this spot!!! read more

This little hidden gem is a wonderful place for buying gifts and souvenirs, especially if you're looking for unique items, not typically found in a typical shopping mall! They have everything from toys to books to lotions ( the best!!) to accessories! The best part is that they gift wrap everything for you and they're great at doing it!! I could've easily spend hours in the shop and not even realize it! read more

Lundeen's - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Culver City, California

Super cute little gift shop, full of eclectic and neat little things. Spotted inventory from Kinto, Umbra, Rifle Paper Co, PF Candle Co, Shinola Detroit, Blue Q, and a few others I forgot. Not too hipster to be weird, just enough mainstream to be relatable and accessible to all while remaining unique and eclectic. Interesting little collection of books, stationary, scents, kitchen wares, and other small things. I love the items here, but do think they're a tad bit pricey. Great for the last minute gift within the $20-50 range, and holiday wrapping is free. read more

Uhhhh.... so, my birthday is coming up. I'm registered at Lundeen's (I wish... I'm just kidding). Just get me anything. This whole store is like a mecca of weird knick knacks with great staff and absolutely the best gift ideas I've seen since leaving NYC. BUddha salt shakers? YEAH!?! Gay dog training books? Loving it. Funny and completely unique cards? Even better. The best way to a woman's heart is a cool card with a sweet & saucy handwritten note (take notes here, guys...). And maybe some peonies delivered to my office to make my friends jealous. Just sayin'. But don't spend too much on me, I don't want to be spoiled. read more

Lundeen's - I think this is the best birthday card I've ever bought. I got 4. Just in case... - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Culver City, California

Such a great place to find gifts! My sister was looking for a gift for a friend and decided to check this gift shop out. I've seen this place before a couple times in passing, but had never walked in. We were greeted warmly by who I think were the owners, and I never once felt like anyone was looking over my shoulder, pressuring me to buy something; overall a really nice atmosphere! Take your time and look around because there's tons to see packed into this little store. Cards, stationary, candles, books, baby stuff, jewelry...seriously, if you're in a pinch to find a gift, just come in here; you'll find something. Another great perk is that they gift wrap for free! The woman that wrapped my sister's purchase was really nice and did a great job with the brown paper and colored twine. My purchase was placed in a paper bag with tissue paper and then tied up with some more colored twine. It really gave the gifts a nice home-y feel. read more

Lundeen's - Packed full of fun gift ideas! - Cards & Stationery Near Me - Culver City, California

I don't like Lundeen's for one simple reason - they have so many fragrances in there, and I'm allergic to something in the air. My kids love Lundeen's and we've visited many times - but every time we do, my nose starts running like crazy and I'm now walking around in the store with stuff just dripping out my nose in torrents and I don't know what to do. Once I made my son run over to Starbucks to get me some napkins - most of the time I just pick up one of those stuffed animals and wipe away. No, I don't do that. That was a joke. It wasn't until our last visit that I figured out the fragrances were killing my nose. Now I know better, and will wait outside while my kids peruse the goods (and hopefully don't come across the inappropriate-for-little-kids things). read more

Found this place after having lunch in the area. Cute little gift shop. They carry some pretty unique items and I'd definitely go back here if in the area and needed a gift. I love their gift selection varies and would be perfect items for either male or female recipients. Some gifts were a bit pricey but considerable due to their uniqueness. I didn't give it 4 stars because it seems that service is not a priority here. I went on a Saturday, which I would think is a busier day in that area and there seemed to be only one person working and seemed that everything and everyone was in disarray. I get it. People call out sick and it could have just been an off day so I'll definitely check back when in the area. read more

We simply love this place - you can always find something for everyone and yourself. They've been especially awesome during CV, helping us shop in various ways whenever we need something. One time they even dropped off a purchase, since we were on their way home. Unique and thougtful gifts for any age (and the best cards) read more

This store is cute, has a lot of great product in all price ranges. I love the cards, books, jewelry, gifts - everything! I got me some cute 925 silver jewelry (am allergic to nickel)!

Came in looking for a last minute gift for a friend. This store can be a hit or miss, however everything is overly priced compared to what you can pay for it elsewhere. I love supporting smaller businesses, but not if they're going to hike up prices more than what the actual companies charge for the products. Probably won't be back. read more

I love this store! This is my go-to place for greeting cards. The cards are a bit expensive, but they're all really nice and not mass-produced. There are also lots of interesting gifts--some are elegant and others are silly and quirky, but they all seem well-made and not cheap. I also love that you can find local items on there like things that say Culver City and cookbooks by local restaurant owners. I'm really happy with the new COVID protocols. Both doors are open so that you can get a breeze blowing in, only a few people are allowed in at a time, and you have to wear a mask and use sanitizer (provided) to enter. The owner even sometimes has water and treats outside for dogs, which is very thoughtful. I highly recommend this store if you're in Culver and looking for any cards or gifts. One thing I do want to note, however, is the Yelp hours don't seem to be correct. It looks like the store is not open on Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday--Wednesday through Saturday only, if I remember correctly. It would be good for the business owner to update the hours on Google. read more

Really really appreciate the customer service I received while shopping for 1 year old gifts. The customer associate was texting me pictures of everything they had in line with my budget, and I ended up with the cutest and most unique items. Not only were they gift wrapped to perfection, but the store even DROPPED THEM OFF AT MY HOUSE. Forever grateful to Lundeen's. I'll support them forever! read more
