    I am always so happy when I go to Better Half Boutique. The staff is super helpful and willing to spend all the time you need with you helping to figure out the prefect items. I was in earlier this week and got a "gag" hat for my upcoming summer trip. The prices were fair and the quality was very impressive. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

    Custom Anniversary gift the Better Half made for me  in 15 minutes! Thank you so much!

    Love The Better Half!! Have to share the most wonderful experience I had today purchasing a custom engraved anniversary present. I called up and the staff graciously did a video call with me to pick out the present. I even got to pick the fonts I liked best and in under 15 minutes it was ready! They also offered free delivery to my home. The customer service here is amazing and the product selection is great! Highly recommend them if you're looking for something special for your home or for a gift. Thank you so much!!

    Everything is amazing

    Love doesn't begin to describe the warm feeling I get every time I walk into the store. The ladies are amazing they have a lot of things made locally. So not only are you supporting a locally owned business but local artisans. They also have a lot of things that support charities, giving keys, woman of domestic violence, and many others. If you need a gift that says Long Beach or something about California they will have unique gifts. You can't go wrong with purchasing things here. They have things for; babies, dogs, brides to be and newlyweds. Anything you can imagine with pineapples and mermaids. Food items such as salsa, chocolate sauce and sangria mix! Just get there already! What are you waiting for! They are closed on Mondays so plan accordingly.

    Man stuff!

    Cute little boutique in Bixby knolls. I've bought the cutest sippy cups for my baby as well as baby shower gifts. This place is cute and cozy with a warm welcome. At Christmas times they had hot ciders and candies for us while we shopped. You can find a gift for any occasion here, party supplies, baby shower, bridal shower, 1st birthdays, birthdays, housewarmings,fur babies, babies, wifies, hubbies, besties, famlies, graduations, mothers day and much more. I love all their unique and fun items. I never leave here empty handed. Service is friendly and the price is right. They also have party rentals available. Would definitely recommend checking this place out if you have an event to go to or just want to decorate your home (^_^)

    This boutique is awesome. They have a lot of unique gifts and trinkets for all occasions. They also offer engraving on different items for very reasonable prices. Love the jewelry they have too. If you're looking for a neat gift for someone come in and check this place out. I love novelty type presents and The Better Half has some good ones. Will be back soon^_^

    Easter color candles. They smell great.

    My fiancé barely made it through the store, she found and bought so many great things. They have knick knacks for all types of decor. She really loved the shot glass candles and is hoping they keep more in stock. The California bear surfer hat was awesome , we bought the last two. Alyssa really helped us and is very friendly. Thanks for the chill atmosphere...

    My rug!

    It's such a fun place to shop! And the staff is wonderful! They have so much to see, you must circle at least twice! And even then, when you're standing, ready to pay, you see something amazing you can't believe you missed! Thanks Susie and Katie! I'll be back!

    LOVE THIS PLACE! Cutest boutique: nicest people. I always feel like I am visiting a friend when I go there. I buy a lot of gifts here. Owner has amazing taste and they seem to redecorate every few weeks. In the last year I bought some hand-crocheted reindeer baby booties, a sassy travel mug for a friend going through a bad break-up, a custom dog collar and leash set for my little lab Abby, and other unique finds. They also stock Stonewall Kitchens Srichracha Aioli sauce (which takes a plain turkey sandwich and makes it gourmet), and the lemon curd (over blueberry pancakes or scones makes for an impressive breakfast. Wonderful customer service. Like I said, I bought a leash and collar set for my lab. She is very small, so the large didn't fit. I asked them whether they could get anymore medium sized and they special ordered me one at no charge! It arrived in less than a week! I love it, so hard to find collars for female dogs that aren't pink or purple, the coral is lovely.

    It lights up  so awesome! Absolutely love it!

    This shop has a very cool vibe. It looks small from the outside, but it's a long store. It feels…read morelike it must have been a house at one time with all the separated, small rooms. It even has an outdoor area that could have been a backyard. When I first walked in, it felt like I was stepping back into the '70's. A lot of brown and orange hues. Once you pass the front counter on your left, you feel like you're stepping into someone's living room. There's a couch, coffee table, dial television set, and the record player is blasting '70's music from their collection of vinyl. The first room on the left sells clothes, plants, etc. The second small room next to it has a large picture of KISS plastered on the walls, between the selection of boots and jackets. If you keep walking towards the back, there's a room to your right where the record player is. After exiting that room, you walk into the main room and a large selection of vinyl for sale near the back. They sell used and new merchandise. Everything from used clothes to new jewelry, paintings, artwork, and everything in between. Like I said, there's a large outdoor patio where they sell patio furniture, pots, plants and other outdoor decoration. There is really a lot to take in, and everything is affordable. I saw something I liked that cost $9.50, but I asked myself where I was going to put it. The gal at the front counter was friendly. They take Apple Pay. Parking: Plenty of free street parking in the neighborhood.

    Goods on Orange is this great vintage shop! And yes, this business should be categorized as GREAT…read more What they offer is all kinds of vintage items. You want clothing, they've got it. Jewelry, yup. You want trinkets, they've have it. You want truly unique art items, they have them, as well. You want an incredible selection of vintage LPs, they offer it. They have a little bit of everything, and it is all truly curated and unique. Located on Orange Avenue, in the Eastern section of Long Beach California, this business is a little bit off of the beaten path. It's actually a truly unique neighborhood. Though it's basically a residential area, there's a number of unique businesses right around Goods on Orange. So, you can easily grab a meal, or a coffee, or a little bit of something else once you come to the area this business is located within. Once inside, you are overwhelmed with a plethora of all kinds of everything. It's truly a visual experience to walk into this business. They have a lot of great everything. I can't say that enough, because you truly never know what you are going to find when you go in. The staff here are all super nice, so if you have any questions, they're happy to help you out with whatever they can. In terms of pricing, they're very fair. Sure, you can maybe find cheaper prices at a thrift store. But, at a thrift shop you're never guaranteed that you're will find the best of the best like is available at this business. And, that's what this shop offers, the best of the best. In terms of parking, street parking is your best bet. On weekends, you may have to walk a little bit, because, as stated, there is a number of other businesses directly surrounding Goods on Orange. But, it's a good way to get your steps in. Overall, if you're looking for that unique gift, that special something for yourself, or that something you never knew you needed, this is a great place to find it.

Once you're inside however, it can feel like you're away from the traffic and it gives off a very calming atmosphere. All the items are neatly and particularly placed. The store carries a variety of home products to self-care goods. Since it's a novelty store, you can expect that some of these items are not "budget-friendly." With that being said, you can tell that all of the items are of immense quality. They carry some noteworthy brands like Aesop and Kinto. If you're choosing to make a purchase just based on quality, you've made a great investment. I had a chance to speak to Arianne and she was well-informed about the products. I wasn't prepared to make a moderate purchase upon first visit, but I am keen on coming back! I only purchased their lip balm and it's currently my favorite product to use. If you're ever in the Long Beach area, I recommend paying this store a visit!

Here you will find lots of very high quality decor for your home, office, bedroom or a gift for your minimalist friends. There are ceramic bowls for your Palo Santo or White sage, which they also carry here, and large pots and tableware items. All of their scented items like incense, soaps, oil diffusers, candles, room sprays are all unique, irresistible, and sophisticated-smelling. They will definitely set the ambience in your room to new levels. There are some unique items here that I don't really want to share with the internet just yet. Lol.

The store is very clean, organized and spacious. The employees are very nice. I'm doing this review mainly because of the way I was treated as I was checking out. Delaney was the cashier who was at the check out, she presented me with some options which I took advantage of. She was very pleasant and walked me through the process. In doing so, I got 15% off of my purchase. Her customer service was exceptional and she made my shopping experience amazing and worthwhile.

I saw at the register check out Harry Potter chocolate frogs with a collectible card shelf tag 3.99 -- i buy all ten they have. After my daughter says thats 50% off what she gets them for at Universal studios The next day, we are in Costa Mesa and the store has a full box of frogs, and the shelf tag is 3.99 -- I buy the box of 24. The kid checking us out super nice but first day on the register, so they walking him through how to use the register. So when headed to the car with purchase i said i better check the receipt. Sure enough the harry potter frogs ring up at 4.99 not the tag of 3.99 -- they do price adjustment, and the manager tells the kid to take the tag down and she will print new ones for the price mistake. So now drive home, check the other receipt and its 4.99 not 3.99 and drive back to the store. The kid at the register calls on radio for G3 or something to the front must be code for manager. Tall 6 ft female manager says what is the issue, he tells her he has picture of shelf tag supposed to be 3.99 not 4.99 on 10 frogs. She then says where is this picture from, I tell her costa mesa store, as I caught the mistake while there. She rudely tells me 3 times, that if i do not have the picture of the shelf tag in her store she will not honor the price. She then says if Costa Mesa honored the price tag error that is on them. She continues saying they can scan the item with their phone to see it was a mistake. I tell her I didnt take a picture of the shelf tag, because I didnt know the day before they made same error. She said sorry nothing i will do for you. I call the customer service chat, and speak to Armando, who says he is sorry for the trouble in the store, but without a picture of the Lakewood store price mistake they will investigate it, but wont change things. I ask their representative do you take a picture of every shelf tag a store when your shopping ? NO he says, so how can your corporation think that without a price tag picture your S.O.L ! The harry potter caramel barrel and small jelly belly glass cup with butter bean jelly bellies were moved from the left to the right side of the display today. i wouldnt give a penny to this company anymore if thats their idea of protecting themselves from price mistakes! Horrible manager with zero customer service skills, and a phone customer service basically telling you we will elevate it but without photo proof you wont get any place. WOW Cost plus shame on you !
