There was a time when visiting a mall meant certain stores acted like foundations that other stores…read morewould pop up around. East Meets West is one such store. Whether it's this mall or Woodbridge, "East Meets West" is a fun store to visit. I generally go here to get incense but they have so much more than that. Their other offerings include various Hamsas you can hang up, crystals, rocks, sage kits, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, charms, dream catchers and more. It doesn't matter if you believe in the various spiritual beliefs represented by this store, some of this stuff is just pretty decor. The store is basically a rectangle with shelves and islands in the middle. The cashier is off to the right in the middle. The cashier I dealt with was super friendly and I saw her helping the customer before me with a great deal of patience. This store used to be on the first floor, but they moved up to the second floor and as part of that move they upgraded the decor a bit. There's a fun neon sign at the entrance and a gigantic dream catcher hangs in one window with other items. Before you even walk in the store front seems to promise a unique store experience in a mall mostly dominated by department stores and clothing shops. I wound up getting some "short" incense that were nicely priced (20 for $5 I believe). I also bought a sticker for $2. "East Meets West" is a classic part of the mall experience and I definitely recommend dropping by!

After my recent trip to Japan I was bummed I wouldn't be able to restock on my favorite products anytime soon until I came across this place! They had a great selection of makeup, skincare, and beauty products to choose from! They were a great price range compared to trying to find them on Amazon! The aesthetic was so ADORABLE too! Between the pink shopping carts, claw machines, and overall set up, this place radiated good vibes!

Poplulu is an Asian supermarket and beauty store that recently opened up in Edison, NJ…read more The store is overwhelmingly cute and you'll spend quite some time just looking at all of the merchandise. Even the packaging for everything was so cute that you didn't want to open it! In the future, I hope they can add better signage because it can be tricky to find what you're looking for. Stop by to shop if you're looking for any of the following: *Asian cosmetics- They have everything from makeup to skin care to hair care. There's a few well-known Korean and Japanese brands like innisfree, peripera, and more. Testers for makeup products are available! *Asian snacks- Towards the back of the store, you'll be able to see aisles of ramen, mochi, candy, chips, drinks, etc. There's a lot of unique snacks for good prices. *Toys - There's a small section selling character collectibles from popular Japanese culture, plushies, claw machines, and more. There's a bunch of other miscellaneous items like slippers, luggage, silverware, etc. Oh... and they have pink shopping carts! I'm a sucker for pink.

I've passed this place so many times but have never gone in. Yesterday, I took a soap making class…read more It was great and something unique to do on a Friday night. New Market is a literal market and the owners allow many women and minority owned businesses to sell their products. The owners also have an event space around the corner where they host parties. The location couldn't get any better. It's downtown Metuchen. Street parking for 50 cents and there is a parking garage conveniently located around the corner. They do craft nights and I'd definitely recommend stopping in to shop and support the small businesses.

I couldn't find it so the woman there kindly helped me find a boxed one. Upon checkout it rang up at $19.00. I was a little surprised and said to my daughter that's a bit expensive honey and kindly asked the gentleman that works there if he can just remove it from my order. He says "No problem I will refund you" he gives me my refund receipt and a bag with the ornament in it and says "Have a wonderful Christmas" I was a bit surprised and was absolutely speechless. I called there today to thank him again and he was so kind and said that he was happy to help. This is why I gave them 5 stars.

Stumbled upon Back to Nature Home & Garden as my girls and I were looking for a place to pick up…read moreplants. Lucky for us, they were having a sale with over 70% off so we spent about an hour walking through the space. It feels like you're in another world because you're surrounded by plants and Halloween/fall themed props around you. They have an entire greenhouse where my friend found the cutest plants for her new apartment. If you're more into flowers and unique gifts, check out the main shop where there's a flower bar and items such as candles, dishes, blankets, books, etc. I've worked in Basking Ridge for 3 years and did not know such a great place was nearby!
