I always have to say excuse me to get by to the other end. They make good business here because a lot of people make purchases. The perfume section is not strong here as other locations that have more selections and samples to try. I love their pink tubular perfume and always stock on those. They are insanely cheap and affordable and smell so good! They almost smell like Chanel Mademoiselle without the patchouli. I love their perfume selections. Most of them have subtle smells in the floral and fruity classes. They also come in travel size so you can put them in your purse or pocket. This place got a lot of Sanrio and friends blind boxes. The boxes are $29.99 for the bigger boxes and the smaller boxes are mostly $19.99. They have a lot of these blind boxes in stock! They are rarely sold out. The items that are mostly sold out and barely there are the Miffy keychains and plush. Yesterday I came here and just saw one purple Miffy keychain available and the rest were the same orange ones left in stock. There were a few Miffy in a swing keychains available. I wish they restock on the Miffy products. Miniso here is located in Tangram Mall so they have pop ups from time to time. Yesterday I came here because they just announced their Hello Kitty pop up with exclusive and limited merchandise of the Hello Kitty tennis selection. The tennis selection was very cute. I purchased pink and green tees with Hello Kitty playing tennis. They were pretty big even in a small size. I also got a plastic bottle tumbler that can open halfway and on the top. The bottles were pastel green, pink, and beige so they looked very cool to carry it with you anywhere you go. There were unique blind boxes of Hello Kitty in retro diners that you can decorate your bedroom or cubicle. They had a lot of cosmetics and beauty accessories like nail clippers, combs, and tweezers. The coolest thing I found was an eyelash curler that was very tiny and portable to carry in your bag. It was rectangular size and not your average eyelash curler where there are two holes for your fingers to go through. This pop up had a lot of people and there was a long line to get in. I had to wait around an hour to get in. It was insanely that popular! People were waiting inside the ropes that twisted and turned. The coolest thing about this pop up was that there are red zippered Hello Kitty tote bags for free when you purchase $65 or more from the pop up. The tote bag is foldable and can be tucked away.

There was too much to look at and so many goods of different brands and styles everywhere. It was hard to go through. Surprisingly, most of the lamps were plastic packaged and not dirty at all! They were brand new! Mostly you see a lot of dirty smudges on products at HomeGoods but in the lighting section the lamps were very clean and brand new. I found some nice goods like a 6 tier mini basket organizer shelf but it was too big for me to carry all the way home and I was about to go to an event before I got here. There was also just 1 large fake fig tree that was very appealing and a nice match to a couch. Not crowded in the midday and lots of parking around it because it is located in the College Point mall. Restrooms were working and it was next to the lighting section. Clean bathrooms.

Unexpectedly, the cart locked while still in motion--right in the middle of the roadway--and I was left stuck trying to force the cart to move with my child near moving cars. I couldn't just leave it in the middle of the street as that would also be a hazard. There were no visible warning signs in the parking lot to alert shoppers to this locking system. When I mentioned it to customer service, their reply downplayed the situation as an inconvenience and failed to acknowledge the real safety risk, especially with small children involved.

I shop for cds, dvds, and blue-rays, which this store doesn't carry due to limited space. I saw a few books for sale, but I didn't see a bookshelf full of books for sale. Therefore, for me, the store is not on my list of stores to visit regularly. However, if you don't shop for what I shop for, this store could be for you. The women who worked there were very nice and helpful. Parking there is a bit difficult, but you can find parking, even if you have to pay for a parking meter. There is no parking lot. The store is located a few blocks off Bell Boulevard. The store supports animal charities, which is a great cause.

I absolutely love this store. They have beautiful furniture. In comparison to homegoods, this is…read morehas way more indoor and outdoor furniture and big lighting fixtures and rugs. This is really the store to go to for main furnishings, not just decorative. But they do have incredible holiday/seasonal decorations. If you certainly do the heavy lifting and bring the large items home yourself but they also contract out to a third party that you can arrange for pick up and delivery too. This store has beautiful mirrors and wall art too. It's easier to find multiple pieces of things here, unlike homegoods where you'll find only one. So things like matching chairs, wall art, mirrors, lamps that you need multiples of, this is where to go.

It took over ye old Toys R Us location in Carle Place so you know the ceilings are high. For such a big place, the aisles could have been wider, especially considering they opened during the pandemic where we all need s p a c e. However, they have a lot of great things and if the checkout line wasn't long (everyone is so excited about this new place so they were all here), I probably would have chucked a few things in the basket to check out. Granted I just made an expensive laptop purchase so I'm grateful I didn't check out things here to give my wallet a little breather. It's definitely one of the go-to places I will check when needing homewares.

The prices were higher than expected, but on par with Williamsburg and Chelsea vintage shops. If fancy thrifting is your jam, go by and check them out.
