They have a great selection of stationary, pens, cards and other cute items. It's also a great place to shop for gag gifts! Service was fine and the prices are similar to other more high-end stationary stores. Their hours are a bit off so do check before coming. It's located off the main Myrtle Street in Old Town Monrovia on a smaller side street called Lemon- but do check out this hidden gem!

There were so many cute items to look through, especially for journaling and stationery lovers. I loved all the different stickers, especially the ones for different colleges and universities! Sadly, they didn't have my school, APU (Azusa Pacific University), but I was still able to find plenty of other adorable stickers and postcards to take home. I also got some cute stamps that I'm excited to use for my journaling entries. The items can definitely get a little costly, especially when you start picking up multiple things because everything is so cute . I would definitely come back when my budget allows! Customer service was excellent and everyone was very nice. Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend checking STKR out with friends or family, especially if you love stickers, stationery, scrapbooking, or journaling!

[Parking]: Easy and free designated parking for the plaza and our party had no issue finding an available spot on Saturday afternoon. [Products]: Most of the stickers are original artwork with only a few anime IPs (less than 1/8 of all stickers). I thought their LA County stickers (including some cities from San Bernardino County) for each city were pretty neat. The shop also has some decent Japanese-brand notebooks, toolboxes, pens, etc. Customers can also make their own through the website by uploading their own images (minimum order of 50 stickers). [Conclusion]: The store is not everyone's cup of tea, but for the right target customers this is an amazing store.

This store is a little hidden gem in the corner of the San Gabriel valley…read more I needed invitations to an upcoming summer event, and something a little bit snazier and with a personal touch than what you buy at the greeting card stores, but not as ridiculously expensive. (My parents were getting remarried for their anniversary). Thanks to the Yelp reviews I drove to this small store, and was surprised by the quality and atmosphere of Periwinkle. * This place was the best of all worlds for me *: - A truly new shopping discovery, as I do not buy a lot of paper products - Hints of quality vintage material, which I am appreciating as I get older - That sense that I am getting a great deal on stuff that would normally be a LOT more expensive elsewhere. (let me translate that into shopping-speak: Prices are SALE PRICES elsewhere!!!!) - Great personal service by the staff, who were eager to help me make style and color decisions without pushing or up-selling anything my way - Bringing back that childhood joy of watching my own product come together before my eyes, done by my own hands. Like crafts shop, but at an adult, professional level - And did I mention the staff was helpful? I felt more like I was at a friend's house working on a project than at some store with a body minding the counter waiting for the clock to hit quitting time. I kid you not that I felt giddy in the store, and wanted to stay long after closing time to come up with different and new ideas of things to create and add to my parents wedding (and my own home.) When I got my final bill for my sale, I could not believe how much I had saved. It is a bit of a drive, but well worth it. Needless to say my family has been surprised by the quality of the invites, and I am very pleased with my experience. I am looking for any excuse just to go back there and work on something again.

I know this location only opened like 1-2 months ago…read more This is only a comparison to the one in the Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia. The selection is a lot bigger. The books in the front are more with pop culture and famous books that maybe considered for the "coffee table" books. Also in the front , are the stationary items, cute Knick-knacks and some blind boxes. The Japanese light novels & manga section was larger vs the Arcadia location. Plus there was surplus amount of certain mangas that are currently popular to ensure enough is in stock. In general, I find these books very decently priced. I have , in the past, asked them for a particular book if they have in stock, they'll check to see if they have it or not or will direct me to where it is in the store.

They always have a ton of pens imported from Japan and they even have the little sticker tag on the pen itself in Japanese. Huge fan of the Uniball Zento Pens as I draw from time to time. I know it's great to support local stores, but I do wish they were a bit more competitive with pricing, if a book is only 10% more expensive here and I'm in the area, sure I'll buy it at Kinokuniya, but when the same exact book brand new is 40% cheaper on Amazon, I can't justify the purchase. It would be cool if membership allowed for price matching. Overall, this is probably the best Japanese book/manga shop you can find aside from the Book Off in Gardena.

If you have any questions just message them on instagram @kpopjoystore and ask! They're very responsive there and post updates frequently. Also check for their hours there. They also have a stamp card too so make sure to ask about that. Parking is easy since it's in a large plaza. The store is on the 2nd floor and sign is easy to spot. (It looks like they used to be at the Plaza West Covina mall but they are not anymore. Just FYI: their address in La Puente is correct and is only 10 minutes from the mall) I love supporting smaller honest businesses. Their prices are very reasonable if you take into account how much international shipping and tariffs are these days so I think it's definitely a steal! I've visited other stores locally and prices are often marked up too much. I'm always wary about online stores as well because people sell a ton of fakes now and you never know if it's legitimate or not. Being able to see the product is always the safest method. I had a nice chat with the owner the other day and he was very sweet. He also threw in a couple freebies which I really appreciate! My wallet won't be too happy but I can't wait to be back again!
