This was located directly across from it and we decided to check it out after I had seen it on Yelp. The whole store is our aesthetic and they carry great pieces like richer poorer, rhythm, knickerbocker, outerknown, vitruvi (essential oil diffuser). We're pretty familiar with these brands so the price point isn't really shocking to us, but I could see why it would be for some. The associate helping us out today was super friendly, I wish I got his name to give him a proper shoutout. Best part is the dressing rooms are open as my boyfriend loves to make sure his clothes fit just right, especially if he's going to make a pricier purchase.

Shop Moniker's website is so fun to just get inspiration on for home decor and clothing! Moniker General's storefront is likewise aesthetic, clean, lively, and friendly.

Moniker is my go-to for gifts towards the ones I love or myself!

They have a terrific paper selection, plus pens, wax and wax seals, Rifle products, watercolor paper and paint, and so much more. The staff has always been helpful and friendly. It's a charming place that paper and pen nerds (like me) won't want to miss! I'm sad that I didn't take any pictures (especially of their front window, which is always so cute!).

I'm all about supporting local businesses and this is a gorgeous little store, beautifully curated…read morethat you can spend hours just browsing around, shop, enjoy and admire every little item. I walked into the store in hope of buying birthday presents for my female staff, as I was browsing every corner I got to the stuff on the back of one of tables, a young female staff approached in an awkward way from the other side with a disturbing load tone "can I help you with something", i was like, what?!!! Perhaps she assumed I intended to steal something from them which is very sad and frankly pathetic. Considering at that point, I hadn't even touched ANYTHING yet! When you have such a store packed with tiny cute items you should expect people browsing around and admiring what you have, instead by harassing them and trying to make them uncomfortable you are just going to go out of business very fast. I ended up walking out of that store in less than two minutes not buying anything.

The owner is super nice: it's his hobby to travel to different places and events and buy things he finds interesting. I personally got a Chinese solo tea cup that has a removable cup with holes for loose leaves.

I'm not sure why With Love's reviews transferred over to Lewis Fay Home, which is the shop that…read moretook over that space when With Love closed down. Lewis Fay Home is...strange. They sell way too many things without specializing in any one thing. For example, they have cards, perfume, lotions, I think I saw sunglasses there once, tchotkokes, and then the other side of the shop seems to be more about cooking stuff. I bought a cool set of glasses there when they first opened up, but every time I go in there, nobody helps me, and I feel like I'm intruding. So I've stopped going in. Anyway, my larger original review is NOT for Lewis Fay Home, it was for With Love, which was a completely different and very wonderful shop.

Vitreum Giftware is a small and charming gift shop located in Little Italy in San Diego…read more [Parking]: Street parking only and parking in Little Italy can be difficult. I got lucky and found metered parking near Camden Tuscany Apartments approximately three blocks away. Apparently there is also a Little Italy Parking Garage at 715 W Cedar St with a $5 per hour rate. [Merchandise]: This is probably one of the very few Japanese specialty gift shops in San Diego with a small section on Japanese stationery. Other items include tableware (plates, bowls, ceramic, and porcelain pieces), drinkware (mugs, glasses, teacups, and teapots), vases, plants, terrariums, and other cute Japanese trinkets / decor. [Conclusion]: This is one of the best Japanese giftware shops I have seen in San Diego; otherwise you will have to drive to Los Angeles for similar gift shops. Come here for a curated selection of Japanese gifts.

The most adorable Japanese trinket and homeware shop!…read more Unfortunately, they don't allow pictures inside, so you're just going to have to trust me on this one. Located in Downtown, it can be a bit of a pain to get to with all the parking and such, but it's totally worth it! Walking inside, I was immediately overwhelmed with the need to buy everything. There were gorgeous dishware, homeware, jewelry, stationery, incense, and more! If you're just getting into matcha, this is also a great place to start. They've got all your essentials, a good selection of matcha, and the cutest chawans! Best part is that everything is quite reasonable in price for the quality that you get. Do stop by the next time you're in the mood to peruse!

I love the antique feel, the amount of items is unbelievable in this small boutique, all nicely put and organized, but with a sense of 'carelessly put here and look how pretty it stays put'. There is a handsome guy nicely dressed at the door, reading a book, like a model put there to invite people to enter and browse. The boxes of the boots are so perfectly aligned and neat. They have a lot of ceramic objects, old-fashioned chic. Like something you will find in an old English cottage. Rich Life smells posh. I was not impressed with the clothing selection found, but definitively is a place to go for horse lovers and antique look and feel aficionados.

Each new find is beautiful and unique (and you spot a new one every time you blink!!) The store is exceptionally well displayed with lots of content without the clutter feel. The owner/ staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable without being over bearing so I was free (actually encouraged) to take my time and explore. Did I mention the prices are very reasonable? With the weekend sale of 50% off I felt like a thief!! It was a wonderful experience from the moment I peeped in and lasted the rest of the night as I admired my amazing finds! Not only is Rich Life a great store, it's a great experience as well!!! Love love love it!
