My husband and I have been coming to Lundeen's for years. Since long before the pandemic we have…read moremade a point of stopping by every time we are in Culver City. We are always curious to see what new finds they have on display. This is one of those local gems that we hope stays in the neighborhood a long, long time. There is always something funny, clever, or creative to explore. Many of their items are unique to the LA area or support local creatives. We've bought countless gifts for family, friends, and let's admit it - ourselves - here. They manage to include a wide variety of housewares, games, books, toys, art and craft supplies, jewelry, decor, and accessories into a cozy shop. There is an assortment of cards for life's many occasions, with creative sentiments and plenty of personality to express what you can't always find the words to communicate. We have spent many happy afternoons just browsing through the aisles and considering what we might want to buy. Upon reaching the register, there is always a friendly face to greet you and offer to wrap your purchases if they are gifts. We love that they take the time to select a combination of ribbon colors with the type of gift and recipient in mind! Thank you Lundeen's for being a bright spot in the city that offers genuine friendly service and real personality, and an opportunity to see and hold things before you buy them - a nice alternative to endless scrolling through online web stores!

Very nice gift shop. Has everything that you could get for a person. Books, greeting cards,…read morestationery 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.

So many great finds here! You'll be allowed in after ringing the bell. The front room is filled…read morewith unique items out on display. Most of the items available for purchase are in the back. Shelves stocked with bowls, mugs, plates, trays, and more of all different shapes and sizes. If you're looking for a collection of products, have no fear. Looking for a gift for a friend? Wanting a piece of art in your own home, perhaps? The staff here are amazing! Helpful and not pushy at all. I ended up leaving with a few great unique selects! A beautiful espresso cup, one of their famous knuckle ring mugs, a candle, a matcha bowl, and an artsy bowl / mug for a friend. I loved these mushroom looking pieces in the front. I thought it was for artistic display only, but they also can be used as a plate / bowl! Expensive, but so so so exquisite. If you purchase a candle from them, you can always go back in to get a refill (not sure how much they charge for that). All of the items were wrapped with the utmost of care. Be sure to let then know if something is a gift for someone too cause they can wrap it in its own separate bag for you.

Wife bought a tea set from Destroyer as a gift for me. We went to Destroyer to exchange it with…read moresomething else and were denied and asked to go directly to Match. We went to Match which is right around the corner and were told that they were closed and that we should come back after the holidays. Today wife goes there and she is blatantly told that they have a no return policy. Do not buy gifts from these people as you cannot return them. I think we will start a claim with our credit card company and see what they can do about this.

I was deeply disturbed by what I found at Watermelon Books. The bookstore appears saturated with…read morepro-Palestinian political activism and material presenting a deeply one-sided, hostile portrayal of Israel and Jewish identity. Rather than offering a balanced range of perspectives, the selection gives the impression of an ideological project built around vilifying Israel. There is a fundamental difference between criticizing the Israeli government and promoting narratives that demonize Israel, erase Jewish history, or normalize hostility toward Jews. That distinction matters, and a bookstore that presents political messaging as unquestionable truth deserves scrutiny, particularly when the subject involves a conflict surrounded by so much misinformation and historical distortion. What makes this especially troubling is the apparent lack of intellectual balance. A bookstore is free to champion a political perspective, but customers are equally entitled to question the narratives it promotes and whether it makes room for historical context, competing evidence, and perspectives that challenge its worldview. I support free expression, including the right to advocate for Palestinians. But advocacy for one people should not come at the expense of Jewish people, Jewish history, or the legitimacy of Jewish self-determination. I left deeply concerned by the message conveyed by this store's selection.

The prices…read moreare great, especially for the variety they offer, and the ladies who work there are always so sweet, helpful, and welcoming. They make shopping there a fun experience and are always ready to help you find exactly what you need. They have tons of wigs in different styles, colors, and lengths, plus so many beauty products to choose from. You can also find jewelry, body piercing jewelry, cool makeup, accessories, and products galore it feels like a beauty treasure hunt every time you go in. I've seen a picture of Rihanna that has been here, which makes it even more iconic. Definitely a must-visit spot if you love beauty finds and great deals! here's the hair extensions I got here and belly ring

I walked in with list in hand and managed to find every single thing I was looking for with ease. The prices were great and managed to get everything I needed in less than 7 minutes, two bundles of purple extensions when i only needed one. I still paid less than an awful premade child wig from Amazon. Customer service was friendly, fast and efficient. The man on the floor greeted me and showed me every thing I needed. (They kept the store fully stock by using every single inch of space and wall space.) I also found other items that I didn't need like cute sunnies and jewelry. Overall, it was a great experience, especially being the day before Halloween. Highly recommend this spot and to support small and local businesses!
