They have cards, candles, snacks, trinkets, jewelry, houseware, etc. and most of it seems to be from local small businesses! My favorite thing I've bought is a mug that says "Someone in Gardena Loved Me". You can't get more local than that. I really recommend you stop by just to check it out if you get the chance.

He will be getting new inventory in April so we'll be back to shop some more.

Richard and Carol know more about Gardena than most history books. Half the fun is hunting through the endless collection of vintage treasures, and the other half is chatting with them. Every shelf has something nostalgic, unexpected, or wonderfully random. I spotted old Duncan yo-yos, Mickey Mouse collectibles, vintage signs, John Wayne toilet paper, and about a hundred other things I've already forgotten. They even put water out for our dog, which instantly made us feel welcome. If you're grabbing coffee nearby, stop in afterward. Just don't expect to leave quickly. Come for the vintage finds, stay for the stories, and leave wondering whether you should've bought that one thing you'll be thinking about all week.

There is a huge assortment of large and small charms to choose from, and many different colors of glue for your creative purposes. Above all, the customer service here stand out from the rest because the business is owned by a small family and is very customer oriented. The owner and the other shop staff were all very very kind, so special thank you to both him and the young man who went out of their way to make our experience very fun and seamless today. When we walked in after coming from next-door at Clawcade, I didn't realize Chamu was new but I'm very happy we had our first charm experience here rather than at other charms stores across Los Angeles. I love supporting small business and the Family running. This shop's family was so kind and attentive, going out of their way to help provide additional cute options of charms and teach us the best way to apply the glue. Because of this, no other charm store can compare and I highly recommend Chamu for any Yelpers looking for a fun charms experience! Also their assortment of charms were super cute. There were all sorts of Disney characters, hello Kitty, whimsical, dessert, glitter, and other types and styles for every type of person out there. There was even a box full of medical themed charms which I felt was pretty interesting. I personally loved their little vegetable themed charms. With Mother's Day coming up, I thought it'd be super cute to make a special phone case for my mom, and a huge thank you to the kind folks at Chamu for a wonderful fun experience! Expect to pay ~50$ for a flexible phone case but the experience is so fun and priceless! You get to pick 12 large charms, and unlimited small charms, which are all really cute, as well as up to 2 colors of glue. Thanks Chamu for an excellent time!

There's houseware, beauty products of all kinds and collectibles like blind boxes and kawaii plushies.

The website isn't the best, but it's usable if you know what you're looking for. Would come back if I wanted to order a specific item or wanted some unique gifts or beauty products.

This clothing store is similar to many Asian clothing shops that I have seen. I moved in Gardena this Old Town Gardena for about a little 1 year now. I enjoy popping in and out of this store about twice a month and I always seem to find something to buy that I like. Just like any store they always have some good deals. These last 3 weeks was the last time this store was open. Today July 30, 2024, is like the last day they will be open to the public for business. Another owner that owns the Antique store on this block greeted Ms.Kang telling her that it was nice having her here. They both said their goodbyes. For the short time I shopped here-everyone was nice. All the employees were nice & helpful. I will miss this store, having to walk across the street from my apartment. God Bless Jenny Kang.
