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!

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.

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.

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.
