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.

Love The Better Half!! Have to share the most wonderful experience I had today purchasing a custom engraved anniversary present.

If you are looking for unique gifts, this is the place to go in Cal Heights! I have a slight addiction for their engraved gifts, which they can do on the spot in under 30 minutes! This store is my go-to for finding special gifts for people. And staff at this store are extremely helpful. read more

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. read more

Got here to browse about 17 minutes before close. Cashier was rude and let me know she wasn't available to make any gifts as they're gonna close in 17 minutes. Walked over to Rivers End next door where I was greeted with a smile and kindness. Happily spent my money there. read more

This was my first time there after a family member told me about. This was cutest store with a variety of unique items to choose from. We went for a customized etched cheese board for a retirement gift. The lady working couldn't have been nicer and explained how the machine worked. We ended up a few other items. Even though we drove an hour to drive all the way from South OC, I plan on coming back for the fun items and great vibes! read more

Love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love love..... (Inhale) Love love love love love love love love love love love love love a trillion times love this store. Review us long overdue...so here it goes. I was urged to stop in for a few good things by the owner of the local bra store and omg I'm hooked! I seriously could have spent 3 hours in this store. It's no bigger than a small, neighborhood convenience store but it is so neatly stocked, super cute & chic, and boasts of the things you never realized you needed or were searching for. The woman that helped me was so helpful and recommended the cutest gifts for my friends bridal party. I seriously had 8 items on a mental wish list I fully intend to come back and hunt for. On another note, I did buy a really cute mug that I looooooove. Why exactly did I buy this coffee cup when I don't even drink coffee? It was cute and it made me want to have it and I did end up doing so. I now use it as a water cup. My water cup is cuter than yours. Thanks BETTER HALF! read more

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. read more

The Better Half Boutique - My rug! - Home Decor Near Me - Long Beach, California

Cute little boutique in Bixby knolls shopping district. Lots of beautiful and unique finds throughout the store.

A wonderful friend of mine gifted me a special engraved pen and I love it so much that I asked her where she got the pen for me as I wanted to order more of those pens to gift them to my friends, family and clients. I ended up buying 30 pens and came to the store today to pick them up with my friend. I met Katie and Suzie for the very first time and wow I was blown away by their wonderful personality so welcoming caring and attentive to everyone walking in to the store. Customer service at its absolute BEST!! All the items in store are beautiful and amazing that words alone can't describe it. Pricing is definitely a big plus here super afforable for the quality you get. I thought it would cost me so much more for the 30 customized engraved pens as I want them exactly like the one I was gifted. And the store owner did the engraving for me without charging me extra money. Most places would charge me a lot more to do the engraving let alone the customized engraving to match the exact example on my pen. Make a long story even longer I walked around the store and saw so many items that I keep thinking of my friends and family who definitely love to see. Very well organized and staged Thank you Katie and Suzie for an amazing experience firat time at your store. I will be back for sure Thank you and God bless you and your family forever and always! - Terrie Bui read more

Great place to find a cool, unique gift for family or friends. Alyssa is super helpful and friendly!

Such a cute place, friendly service and nice personalized items BUT I feel like some of these items are overpriced.

Honestly one of the BEST lil boutiques I have ever been to! They have such a great mix of inventory, great prices, fun friendly staff (and a dog-mascot who will give you lots of love), and in a super fun part of Long Beach. I would recommend ANYONE (male, female, older, younger) to have a lunch or dinner date in Bixby Knolls with the intentions of stopping by this adorable store after for some retail therapy. The fact that they have a party rental service (set up totes adorbs BTW) in the store...makes this a great place to plan an event. You can walk around the store to get ideas for your event and plan the perfect setting with some of the most talented gals in the business! read more
