When I get bit by the travel bug, I like to pay a visit to CostPlus World Market. For starters,…read morethey carry some of the best tourist flavors from all corners of the world. Their Patak's Butter Chicken is a staple in my pantry and so are the Sticky Finger Scones, as well as their coffees/teas, and some fruity flavor of Torani Syrup to perk up soda water. And if you're looking for a special exotic spice, you'll probably find it here, or a seasoning packet similar enough. TASTES FROM AROUND THE WORLD - Café Du Monde Beignets Mix & Chicory Coffee for a taste of New Orleans - Chocolate Covered Macadamias for a hint of Hawaii - Marzipan & Pfeffernusse for a taste of European Christmas Markets - Ramune, Pocky, Hi-Chews from Japan - Tim Tam, Vegemite from Australia - Great wines from S. Africa, Australia, Chile, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Napa - And lots of other delicacies along their many well-stocked aisles GIFTS & DECOR I love that they sell whimsical FRED novelty gift items. There are always soaps and self-care gifts for a luxurious gift basket or a hand-dyed gift bag. If you're looking for holiday plates, you'll find them for every season - Easter is adorable with lots of fresh spring designs. Summer, same. Fall brings in more Halloween items (and they've expanded a little this year). Lots of cute dishes, glasses, and dining/kitchenware that's reasonably priced as well. And now that Christmas has settled in, I enjoy their selection of felt & vintage-inspired ornaments, Christmas decor, and all the tastes and sips of the winter season. They have lots of nice earth-friendly decor made of wood and natural fibers in their merchandise - often from India, Thailand, or Bali. The textiles from around the globe are also a nice nod to the designs and textures of varied cultures. Some of the handmade crafts even remind me of my past travels to Asia or Latin America. It's always good vibes representing all corners of the world when I walk through CostPlus. The best part is I can shop like a tourist without having to unpack my suitcase.

Shopping in Glendale, California…read more.. My main goal was to shop at Five Below... however, they didn't have a restroom... When nature calls, you gotta answer! I asked the clerk at Five Below, where the nearest restroom was. She directed me to HomeGoods "downstairs ". HomeGoods is a chain that doesn't exist in Hawaii. It was a great reason to look around... I enjoyed the clean, organized environment! The various merchandise ranged from blankets, pillows, and lamps to greeting cards, seasonal decor (Halloween), and Hello Kitty items like sheet sets, salt and pepper shakers, and a figurine!

Working with Rhiannon at Amber & Honey has been an absolute dream! We needed to do a complete…read moreredesign of our main bedroom. All of the furniture was outdated and did not reflect our personal styles. I messaged several places to get an idea of what something like this would entail, but Rhiannon stood out as someone who was communicative, thoughtful, and pleasant to talk to. It also became immediately clear that she really knows her stuff and is also willing to work with your individual needs. We did a virtual tour of the room and then chatted about what we were looking for. She sent out a survey to get a sense of our likes and dislikes and aesthetic. It was super easy. Then, she put together some concept boards, and we refined based on the options. We are absolutely in love with the vision that Rhiannon has. The entire process has been so smooth, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to freshen up their home.

Goodies is definitely one of those places that is near and dear to me…read more Once I started to get into furnishing my own space, I really wanted to focus on intentional pieces as well as high-quality without breaking the bank. And goodies checks off all those boxes. Whether it's a beautifully crafted or sourced marble stands, that's a perfect addition to a bookshelf, really great plates, a Matcha set, or my personal favorite, random vases goodies has it all. I would also keep an eye out on their Instagram so you can get their harder pieces, like the ladder, stools, as well as great teakwood, charcuterie boards.

Really disappointing experience, especially because I was genuinely excited to get these stools…read more I ordered two A-Frame Curved Stools on May 17. On June 12, Goodies texted me: "We got your pre order for END OF AUGUST pick up" and "We will send you a text when it's ready for pick up." August came and went with no update. I followed up myself in mid-September and was told, "our factory messed up this particular style and the corrected shipment will arrive second week of oct." Four months after ordering, I still don't have the stools. I understand production problems happen. My issue is the lack of communication or accountability. When I expressed frustration about the delay, the response was simply, "we can issue you a refund if you'd like." I've also seen other customers describe similar experiences with delays and poor communication, so mine does not seem unique. I still really liked the stools, but the way this order has been handled has been very frustrating.

The salesperson was very nice and suggested I look through their catalog. I did find a loveseat that was a good enough match so I bought it. Unfortunately, it has to be the most uncomfortable loveseat I've ever sat on. Stiff seats that make my back hurt after a few minutes. Hard as a rock and no one wants to sit on it. I'm thinking of replacing it already and I haven't had it that long...and it wasn't cheap either! Please don't buy a catalog item without trying it out first.

They carry most items that are available on Shop Disney and often will have something left over that sold out quickly on the site. The back of the store is a smaller room/area that is cast exclusive items such as keychains, lanyard holders, clothing and other special items. Should you be ABLE to visit here I suggest you should because it's almost nostalgic with the old Disney Store setting and wonderful pleasant staff.

Park in the big lot on Flower- go through security to get cleared and parking is limited but in the back. The store is beautiful- not the bargain bin vibes you get at Company D in Anaheim. There is a ton of branded WED Imagineering merch and current in-park merch. However, if you are a CM who works in the parks, you're used to major deals at Company D or Maters. Here you'll get your regular employee discount A or B. If you are a guest/non-CM you will get no discount. There were a few items that were a really good discounted deal- there were also things from Aulani and Candy/Snacks. What was sort disappointing here was the guest service from staff. I had no idea how pricing was here, since Park CM's are used to pretty much everything being 50 percent off of the price tagged. When I asked if it was the same here I got a very annoyed eye roll and told that I ONLY get a discount IF I have a BLUE ID. Then a non-cm guest (who was clearly in the spectrum) asked a girl at the register about what types of jobs they have and how he could get one. Another annoyed, unfriendly answer from this girl... What really did it for me was when I asked where the restroom was. Again, the same girl was super annoyed and rattled off directions. I apologized and let her know this was my first visit here. She just repeated everything she previously said but much slower... it was patronizing and rude. I was on my way out to leave when I realized I forgot to purchase some lanyards. I went back and got in line- the same girl was OVERLY friendly and super nice to everyone else she helped... It was just a really sad, disappointing experience shopping here. I could see how this would be a great place to shop for imagineers that work here in Glendale or Burbank. However, this will be my guest and last trip.
