Sara T.

I like the location of this bookstore, but I miss the old bookstore. The layout inside the store is still confusing, it feels like a maze. It's kind of unorganized and very cramped. I usually go in a few times every semester to pick up some scantrons and browse through whatever items they sell. Of course everything is overpriced, but I think that's typical of every college store. If you're looking for textbooks, just take a walk up the stairs (just be warned, there can be super duper long lines especially during the beginning and end of the semester!) -- but I recommend you to just rent or buy your textbooks on amazon or another website -- books here are super overpriced!

They have a great variety of pens, notebooks, stickers, and thoughtful little gifts, and I was especially excited to see that they even carry Hobonichi. Everything feels well curated and high quality, not overwhelming, just really fun to browse. The store itself is bright, clean, and inspiring, and the staff has always been friendly and welcoming. Whether you're into journaling, planning, or just want a unique gift, Maido is definitely worth stopping into. There was not much stafff around helping, I think only two people and they were both at the cash register, they weren't too talkative and didnt ask if we needed help, but im sure they would have if we asked, we just werent approached. Maybe they were short staffed that day.

Cute gifts store . Many Japanese style gifts are available here . Some old fashioned fountain pens…read more, birthday cards , key rings . Cute stuffed animals and collectibles. The store is not big but fully packed. Very organized. We don't have too many gift store like this in the west bay . The store location is right by Vally fair mall , West San Jose . Many customers and quite popular. Parking is not easy if you come in the weekend . There are couple paid parking structures in the same area. I usually either come on the weekdays or Saturday morning to avoid the crowds.

Appreciate you guys!

Bring your own jars and refill everything--from moisturizer cream, shampoo, and conditioner to laundry detergent, all-purpose cleaner, sanitizer, bath bubbles, sunscreen, and so much more. If you don't have a jar they always have some extra for no charge or some fancy once for purchase. It's such a great way to reduce waste while still getting high-quality, locally sourced products. Beyond refills, they have a wide variety of eco-friendly goods like bamboo toilet paper, reusable utensils and shopping bags, beautifully crafted soap bars, candles, natural perfumes, and even locally made jewelry. Every time I visit, I discover something new. The store has a warm, cozy atmosphere and the kind of friendly vibe that makes you feel right at home. It's more than just a store--it's a little community hub. Please support this local business--San Jose is lucky to have it!

Jenny's Gift Shop has been located and running @ Lion Plaza for as long as I could remember. Known…read morefor their little trinkets and flashy toys, no child could ever resist!! As a fair warning, the tiny tiny gift shop is extremely limited in size. The path is extremely narrow due to objects being placed along both sides of the entire business and the space in itself is already tight. I came here a few days ago in hopes of finding a traditional tet outfit for my daughter. Although the selection seems a bit limited, the articles of clothing are clean, bright, and very easy on the eyes. A special TY to the lady behind the counter was very courteous and helpful during our search. While I was busy searching for the right design and look for the outfit my daughter couldn't help herself from grabbing a flashy spinner wand that blares out the most annoying tube. Lmao!! Go figure huh?? I decided to make that additional purchase and only asked if they had a wrapped or boxed wand since this one was clearly a sample it out. The gentleman behind the counter seemed agitated and wasn't friendly at all. A simple no would have been fine and the attitude could have totally been kept to himself. How unfortunate that the lady owner is this business's only saving grace. Not recommended if you are in any way claustrophobic or if you are expecting any kind of decent customer service. Thanks but no thanks to the non welcoming vibes!!

I won, I won!!!!!!!…read more I'm so excited to announce that this is my second time winning. Seriously, Mr. Nguyen (the shop owner) is one lucky son of a gun right now. Congratulations to him, congratulations to me! I knew paying a visit to the east side would bring so much luck and fortune. I will step forward soon and claim my prize. I cannot believe I've won, again. Shit. Once I'd hit that mega power number, I peed my pants! $1 yay!!!! I'm rich, bitch.
