There's a nice stamp collection here too. I wish they had more stickers. There are a few sticker sheets near the register but not many. A huge variety of ink selections though.

Everything is so cute, it's hard not to shop for yourself as well! The owners are truly the sweetest. Every time I come they will gladly provide any recommendations to find the perfect gift! I was looking for a Miffy plush and they helped me find the one! The owners are also very knowledgeable about all their products as they informed me that the specific teddy material I grabbed was being discontinued so this was the last chance to grab it! Parking is plentiful as it's located in the Irvine Skypark business center!

My favorite part here was that when I checked out, the items I picked up were swapped with fresher versions without the price tag sticker. This made it easy to prep as gifts. Will be coming back for more stickers (and hopefully for any Pochacco restock).

Oh my, this is a very cutesy place. I've eyed Jini Mini a lot as I'm often nearby but didn't know…read morewhat they had in store. Recently, I came across them on a hunt for cute bag charms (thanks, Yelp Assistant) and I was blown away by the selection! In addition to tons of plushies, they have a whole wall of bag charms. I didn't find what I was looking for (something Disney and/or cherry-themed) but I found a cute charm for a friends birthday gift and the claw clips on the shelf below caught my eye because many of them were metal and large. Perfect for thick hair! The cashier confirmed this as well which made me feel confident and I can confirm they hold up with long, thick, hair. It seems like this place does a lot of limited drops so definitely get there early if you're looking for a trendy item. But, it wasn't too crowded when I went around 11am.

I walked in expecting a full Jellycat selection. The shelves looked almost empty. It felt…read moremisleading and frustrating. My excitement disappeared instantly. This was not what I came for. The only options were the Lunar New Year one. There was also a random softball plush. That was it, nothing else. No variety, no classics, no fan favorites. The selection was honestly disappointing. I drove out of my way for this. The display felt poorly stocked. It seemed careless and unprepared. Three stars only because the plushies were decent. I expected far more than this. .

For it to be so small they still have lots of stationery goodies to select from. Service is friendly and they do their best to get you taken care of once you are at the register.

I have been a Harvey's girl for over 10 years and I cherish my seatbelt bag collection!…read more I recently experienced some health issues and endured a lengthy stay in the hospital, and a very difficult recovery. Once I was home, I started seeing posts on social media of the newest Harvey's release for Mother's Day - a collab with the tattoo artist Sid - and the newest line is called "Tough as a Mother", which seemed so fitting after what I had just gone through, so I knew I needed this bag to add to my collection. We went to the First Friday release and was able to get my bag signed by Melanie & Dana Harvey, and Sid. The Harveys are always so nice! And their staff are so helpful - and organized! They keep the lines in order and moving pretty quickly! I just love supporting Harvey's! They are a local business, the Harveys are an awesome couple, and they have amazing products!

My first Harvey's purchase was this Minnie Mouse wallet with red seatbelts, white polka dots and a…read moreblack bow. I'm blown away that they're based her in Santa Ana and in such a cool location. That being said, it's not in a regular part of town and I parked out front but parking can be a little tricky. Also the hours are super limited, like during normal working hours. I stopped in and they had the cutest and best stuff, but of course they were sold out of the Haunted Mansion stuff, but had it on display. I didn't see a major discount on pricing, basically it's a retail store but it makes a difference seeing these products in person versus Instagram or online. If you're in the area definitely stop by but if you're thinking of making a pilgrimage here from afar, I'd save your gas and just look at it online.

Looking forward to stopping by here again to see what other goodies we can get.

Overall, Mai Do is a great option for cute and fun Japanese things!

They Wouldn't accept my return on an unused, brand new with tags item because I didnt have my receipt. I understand my responsibility to have a proof of purchase. However to not even have an exchange or store credit offered when clearly the item still had their original price tags on it is absurd. They could have issued me store credit, charged a restocking fee, and they would still have us as customers. Store credit would not only guarantee a return customer, but it would also show ' good faith ' and appreciation to their customers. We wont be returning. And im sure thats exactly what they wanted given how they treat people.
