I had a fun experience at my first rug tufting here! Located within the Atlantic blvd plaza so…read moreunderground parking is easy. The spot looks a little small, but they have private back rooms to work on your rugs. One of the hardest parts for us was having a design ready! That maybe took an hour lol I would come with multiple designs in mind and to make sure the color blocking is larger, especially for your first time. After we chose our design, we got a lesson on how to use the tufting guns and especially the safety of how to hold them because the needle is quite sharp. We were then set up with our rugs, and got underway. You trace your design with markers first with a projection. When you start tufting, the key is to have a steady hand, try as best to evenly space your rug lines as you go and keep a good pace, and only doing one color at a time. After this they will show you how to save down your rug and then will add the backing for you because the glue/iron is very hot. This spot was conveniently located to grab drinks and snacks at nearby businesses. Overall a really fn experience and Iove seeing my new rug everyday!

Staff said it's best if you come after 1:30pm on weekdays to ensure their store being open. Weekends are pretty much just open. I come here to check out what Pop Mart items they have in stock. They also carry limited Labubu clothing. They have select figurines on display for trading at the front where you pay. This is great if you happened to open duplicates from Pop Mart. Staff said they don't refill display boxes to avoid customers getting duplicates unlike Pop Mart stores themselves. Their requirements for trading is that you may not trade a figurine/item if display already has the same item. They don't want duplicates in their trading case. You must bring the card that came in the box with it and trade has to be from the same series. Or if you see something on display you actually like but still want to try your luck like myself. Purchase a blind box and hope you get one you like, if not trade it with the display if there aren't any duplicates! You may also purchase display items (same price as blind box). Their prices are same as Pop Mart.

This place is an absolute gem. Great location, easy parking, and the kind of shop you can happily…read morespend way more time in than you planned. The inventory is incredible--eclectic, unique, and full of beautiful beads, materials, and everything you could possibly need for jewelry-making. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking for something specific, they have it all--beads, string, findings, and so many inspiring options you won't see just anywhere. What really sets this shop apart, though, is Christina. She is truly the heart of the place. She's warm, funny, incredibly knowledgeable, and just an all-around joy to be around. She can help you design something custom, guide you through making it yourself, or even create it for you. And if you need repairs, she's amazing at that too. They also offer classes, which is such a great touch--I took one on making bracelets and it was such a fun experience. What a cool thing to be able to do locally. Honestly, I never thought I'd say this, but I actually look forward to needing repairs--because it means I get to come back and see Christina. She makes every visit feel personal and fun, and you always leave in a better mood than when you walked in. Such a wonderful shop with a truly special owner. Highly recommend checking it out.

At the entrance, there is a section of discounted beads. Near the back of the shop, they have crystal beads and other unique singular beads for purchase. They also have threads, ring jumps, headpins, and other tools but some of them are expensive. During my first visit, I wasn't greeted but I went out of my way to build rapport with one of the owners, I assume, who did eventually open up. There was a kid rollerblading in the shop, extremely anxiety-inducing and unprofessional. My second visit was more positive. A younger lady greeted me at the front mentioning to let her know if I needed any help and the kids were more tamed.

As I toured the grounds of landmark church and around the streets in the old Mission Drive, I noticed a cool little shop around the corner of Santa Anita St. It seemed to attract a lot of visitors to this part of San Gabriel where they displayed some of the cool imported items from Mexico at this very charming gift shops. There is a lot of arts and crafts all over the place you can take back for mementos. Majority of the trinkets of jewelery or souvenirs reflect the Historic Mexican Mission. This place feel more part of the Mission district than some hokey little gift shops you could have seen in most place. It's worth noting that they do sell paintings from other artists that you can take a look at.

It also comes in handy when there's free events that get super hot and draining me, so their refrigerated drinks work really well for that. In the past, this shop was pretty bad with dimmed lights and not having the AC on, but things have gotten better in the past several months, which is great. There's 2 self check out kiosks and you can also check out with the staff there as well. Standard Daiso prices that have unfortunately also increased with the raised prices of just simply existing, but I did notice that a lot of the gummy candies that I used to get for the standard price is now almost $4. Why? Either way, not a bad Daiso. Sometimes it's a bit disorganized and messy, but that just goes to show how much stock that they have.

This is a cool spot in Little Tokyo where you can come in and make something unique to yourself…read more This place has many different items with which you can decorate your phone cases, hair clips, accessories, and even bags. Everything is on their website, and you would need to schedule a time and date to come in to reserve a spot in the studio. If you can't pick anything from here you can also bring in an item and they can tell you how much it would be to design it. The design process involves this type of gel with different colors that the studio provides. I picked a picture frame and also an accessory box from the studio to design. It turns out super cute and you can pick a variety of charms to put on top of the gel!

It was our first time, and the owner patiently showed us around and explained everything. The whole experience of making our own bracelet was smooth and enjoyable. Whenever we had questions, the owner kindly guided us and gave us suggestions. At one point, my boyfriend accidentally messed up a tray of decorations. The owner didn't scold or charge him--she was totally understanding. He was so scared though! She even gave us a small gift and let us choose and assemble our own crystal bracelet. It was such a fun and thoughtful experience!

I booked a same-day appointment early in the morning after looking for something fun for my kids to…read moredo. Our reservation was for 1:30 p.m., and we arrived a little early to make sure we could find the place without rushing. When we got there, no one was there. Since it's an appointment-only studio, I completely understood that they aren't open for walk-ins. I called the number on the door, and the person I spoke with confirmed they would be there shortly--about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, it ended up being closer to 30 minutes before someone arrived. By then, my girls were getting restless and were ready to leave. The only reason I waited it out was because I had read about the cancellation fee on their website and didn't want to risk being charged. Once we got inside, though, the experience completely turned around. The shop owner was incredibly patient with my girls, walking them through their decoden creations and making sure they had everything they needed. They genuinely had a great time, and it was a fun, creative activity that kept them engaged. There was one more hiccup at checkout--they initially charged us the additional sitting fee per person because they hadn't realized we had already booked an appointment. Thankfully, they caught the mistake afterward and promptly refunded the extra charge, which I appreciated. Would I come back? Maybe. The activity itself was a lot of fun, and the customer service during the crafting experience was warm and attentive. However, the delayed opening and the confusion over our reservation made the visit feel a little disorganized. If the appointment process were smoother, I'd be much more inclined to return.
