From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Ely, who was genuinely kind and welcoming. I've been to locations where they hand you a bag before even saying hello, but that wasn't the case here. Ely took her time asking what I was looking for, and when I explained, she not only introduced me to the newest scents but also included my sons by showing them some of the men's options. I really appreciated how she explained the current promotions in a way that made it easy for all of us to benefit. I also had a reward to use and picked up a Brazil travel-size spray mist--such a good choice! While they didn't have the Peach Blossom in a gift set just yet (I'm still holding out until closer to May 10 ), the visit still gave me great ideas not just for myself, but for my mom too. I love that that Bath & Body Works stores have fragrances, lotions, car fresheners, skin oils, candles, linen fresheners etc. Another standout was Susie, the store manager, who was just as sweet and helpful. Neither Ely nor Susie made me feel pressured to buy anything that day. In fact, they even took the time to show me how to navigate the app so I could have my mom's gift shipped to a location near her--now that's customer service! I'll definitely be back in a couple of weeks to check out new arrivals and hopefully grab that Peach Blossom set. If you're looking for a one-stop welp here you go!!! Come on by and you can thank me later

An online Hallmark order for a corporate event arrived incomplete despite expedited shipping, leaving me short just days before the event. After calling every Southern California location, Elam's was the only store with the inventory I needed, even though I'm based in downtown LA. Bella and the management team were incredible--they processed my order over the phone, accepted a shipping label from my corporate UPS account, and personally dropped the package off at UPS at the end of their shift. That's truly above‑and‑beyond service and incredibly rare these days. Elam's Hallmark La Mesa is officially my go‑to. Highly recommend.

I went in to buy some cards and I had 2 Rewards, the clerk told me one of the crown rewards was already used! I told her I just got them and had not used them. She said it was in the computer that it was used. She was explaining it and another clerk started talking and was so rude. I was in shock. I have never used the rewards online. I realized when I got home that is what they were saying. I am 81 years old and that is the only Hallmark store that I can walk to. I hope someone gets fired.

Getting to shop for each flower makes buying flowers such an intentional experience. The staff is always sweet and kind and hot to help.

Everyone was very helpful, friendly, accommodating to getting it done within a week. I would highly recommend not off of just service but the cost was more than affordable. I bought my own bottles, artwork $50 and the etching was $20 per bottle. Most sites I had viewed were charging $120-$160. When I went in the storefront I was able to see some other items they create and I would definitely go back for other personalized gift ideas in the future.

( this is frequent complaint on this store ) Got to the desk and was told there was only one order. We live about 35 miles away. This is closest. Truth: There were two orders, but cashier choose to NOT CHECK for the second order. Husband asked her & she said no. Why in the world would the cashier not listen to customer, run my name and see the other order on their pick up shelf? So got one order, called up BBW.com and explained what happened ( above ) - they are mailing out my order no shipping cost. Will I be back to PW BBW? Nope, seems in this case we had a young, unexperienced clerk who do not give a darn of the drive, or wait in line. It is like we are stupid cattle to them. Thank you for reading. Moo.

Ok, I'm looking for something metallic. I needed something other than the usual picture frame or keychain. There are a couple of store associates, and the friendly gal helps me narrow down some items. She made sure to verify the engraving: layout, font, message, spelling, etc. She gave me an approximate time for me to return when the engraving would be ready. The engraving was not ready as promised so I had to come back another day. Disappointing, but not devastating since I had time before anniversary day. All in all it was ok, except for the one hiccup. Nice people, clean engraving, but the goods were not delivered on time.

Five stars. They lasted four days, hence the two star review. I am so disappointed I was not able to enjoy them for even a week.

A couple lilies are still hanging in there , but I can't imagine what my family paid for this arrangement. So disappointed. Photos tell the story.
