Lockwood is very lovely small shop on the quieter streets of Jackson Heights; a place that is…read moreperfect for finding gifts and perhaps the occasional splurge. It is a tad on the pricier side given the neighborhood. However, it is quite fun browsing and shopping locally in the community instead of browsing the internet and giving money to large corporations all time. There's tons of items ranging from NYC/Queens/Jackson Heights-themed products to candles, kitchen supplies, baby clothes, toys, greeting cards, games, and so much more. On my first visit, I was specifically looking for gifts and ended up with 2 coasters (Queens and NYC-themed) as well as a cat-themed dish towel that totaled to around $30, I was certainly a happy shopper. The staff at the front desk was helpful and kind. The shop also has a free rewards program which seemed neat. Look forward to visiting this shop more in the coming months!

Now don't get me wrong they have nice items that are very overpriced but supporting a local person I can deal with it! Unfortunately not everything in this store is local, I found kids toys that were made in China, a rag doll to be precise for $20. It's an awful shame that their story says they focus on local makers.

He helped me select items based on my desired color scheme and I ultimately left the store with 7 large bags. There is a beautiful selection of hand blown, imported items from Mexico and Portugal and I would prefer to have unique items than mass produced ones at Pottery Barn. I love the color variations and the quality of his items are all 5 stars. Go check out Incasa and tell Eduardo I said hi!

I'm honestly surprised that I haven't already reviewed Lockwood. If I had to pick a favorite local…read moreboutique to buy gifts, this would be it. They have the cutest selection of gifts including NYC themed, kitchen, home goods, jewelry, baby, plants, seasonal, and more. I especially love their ornaments for the holidays. I picked up three new ornaments just this past weekend. After they holidays they typically go on sale as well. They do an annual sale around Black Friday where you get a reusable shopping bag with your purchase which entitles you to 10% off on all future purchases when you return with that bag - what more could you ask for as a customer? A few times throughout the year they'll do sales as well so be sure to keep an eye out on their social media for a heads up. They have three other Lockwood locations - Williamsburg, Greenpoint, and Jackson Heights. Next door from this Astoria location they have a store called Lockwood Paper which has a large greeting card section, and any paper related products you could imagine (think pens, notebooks, wrapping paper, and more). They have cute magnets and pins as well and even carry ornaments here too. Then around the corner is Lockwood Style which has clothing, accessories, and more. I only wish I lived closer, or they had a Sunnyside, Queens Home & Gift location because then I'd be here all the time - although my wallet probably thanks me for that.

Love this store. It's my favorite of the Lockwoods. They really have everything you can ever…read morepossibly want by way of gifts. Knick-knacks, tchotchkes, literally socks of all types, themed items. Location specific items. You name it, they probably have it. They also have a rewards program. The staff are very helpful, too. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for their prices. They are pretty steep, in my opinion. A pair of socks cost $15. They were of a special print and the perfect gift for a friend but I'd never ordinarily purchase a single pair of socks at that price point. I understand they aren't a big box store and need to keep the lights on, especially in Astoria. Come in for all the things - just expect to pay a pretty penny.

This HomeGoods is quite small and not much space to walk through in every aisle. They try to take…read moreadvantage of the space by fitting a lot of stuff everywhere. 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.

I had a concerning incident when I visited HomeGoods the other day…read more As I retrieved a cart from the parking area, I placed my toddler inside and began pushing it toward the entrance. 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 don't live in NY, but I visit the LummaHome shop at Bryant Park at least once a year. I…read morerecently got my wife an Espresso maker, so the selection of lovely espresso cups at LummaHOme was of special interest. I texted my wife a few photos, and we picked out 3 cups which I purchased and brought back to Boston. Fast forward to the Holidays, and I inadvertently banged one of the wrapped cups in my home. And when my wife opened her 3 cups, the one I banged was split in two. Entirely my fault. I do not have any reason to think that LummaHome had anything to do with the damage. I wrote to the company, reported what had happened, sent a photo of the broken cup, made clear that it was my fault, and asked how much to replace. The sole question I got back was "What's your address?" And within a couple of weeks, I had a new cup. I even got a followup email to make sure that it had arrived. So, what we have is LuumaHome displaying beautiful wares and providing exceptional service. This is an easy 5 stars. I'm an extremely satisfied customer.

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.
