This is a great shop, I'm glad to have found it. Lots of crystals at affordable prices, candles, and Buddhist tools and figurines, and the mala kits are cool as well. I'm looking forward to going back to peruse more. They were kind and helpful and told me that they'd been there for over 20 years! read more

The owners come from a long line of readers. I got birth chart reading! Very thorough and well spoken. The shop smells of incense and love. The crystals and stones are gorgeous my personal fav, the rings! What a nice shop and very informative read more

I visited this store after spending some time at a nearby community center. I like where the store is situated. Be aware that parking is only on the street. Thankfully I didn't need to park far away from the store. The streets were loaded with parked cars but not as bad as I imagined for a weekend. The store was busy when I visited. I've always had a love of Tibetan culture so visiting here was a real treat. The store is kind of small. However, there are a lot of nice things to browse and choose from for purchases. They had a nice selection of wrist malas. I ended up buying a beautiful one with the face of the Buddha for one of the beads. It's a really nice piece of art to wear on your wrist along with the metaphysical benefits of it. The pricing was reasonable as well. Staff was helpful but not too engaging. If you need something or have a question, count on being assertive for assistance. They have a nice selection of pendulums as well. I ended up purchasing one of these. It's really beautiful with the seven chakras (multi-colored stones) on it. From what I understood from someone who referred me to this store, they have a selection of meditation cushions to choose from. I didn't ask to check any out due to the amount of patrons in the store. It wasn't easy to maneuver around them while walking back and forth between two aisles. If you're on the search for a meditation cushion just know that they sell them here. Overall, I was satisfied with my purchase and visit to the store. If you live near the downtown area of Denver, I recommend checking this store out. If you're visiting and have an interest in Tibetan jewelry, statues, meditation cushions and other cultural products, I also recommend checking them out. I would visit here again although there is another Tibetan store that is my very favorite! read more

Sarita is talented and i go yearly for a reading. Love all the affordable crystals and pieces. I travel all the way from Texas to see her and shop. read more

Received a reading after waiting a couple of months. I enjoyed what she had to say as it was very detailed and she was very knowledgeable. It's slightly different from the typical astrology reading but I learned a lot about what to expect for the upcoming year. Thank you! read more

Sarita is incredible and the real deal. She had it down to the date (in her words "if it were to happen") of when I would split from my ex - and it did happen on the weekend she predicted. I've been to her twice in the past 4 years, and both experiences have led me on a path that I couldn't be more sure of. Most recently I went a few months ago, and plan to go much more after this most recent experience. Thank you Sarita read more

Tibet Imports - Mala beads chosen by Sarita after the reading - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Sarita ji is an incredible soul and my reading with her left me feeling so inspired, seen and at peace. I was going thru a rough patch after losing someone near and dear to me not only did she take the time to console and offer me hope but she gave me actionable steps to take in the right direction. She's a natural intuitive and healer and it shows. I'm beyond excited to receive my personalized mala and look forward to my next reading with her and will recommend her to everyone. read more

How many times have I driven past this little shop? Small and almost hidden, it's like finding a treasure chest from an old pirate map. If you're into incense, statues, wall hangings this little shop will fit the bill. On this day, however, I wasn't looking for these things. I was looking forward to getting my reading from Sarita. I had heard so many wonderful things about her and her intuitive readings. I had arrived a little early so that gave me a chance to look around the shop a bit. So many things to keep your eyes entertained. I was a bit edgy and off-center this day and Sarita put me at ease. Her calm manner and practical approach had my full attention and presence. She gave me what appeared to be a natal chart to write on. At certain spots during the reading, she would make it a point to say 'write that down'. She was focused on me through the entire reading, all the while her hands were busy making a mala. Not once did she skip a beat or miss a knot. I wouldn't find out the meaning of a few things she told me until a couple days later and am grateful to her for future insights. read more

Knowledgeable, friendly, matter of fact, and down to earth. I highly recommend Sarita and this store.

Sarita and her family are magical. She offers Vedic Astrology readings with a mala for your energy in the moment. Malas that Sarita has made herself. She also sells mala kits starting at $25 and up depending upon the stones you want. She teaches classes and has other mystical goodies in her store. read more

My now-husband and I and a couple friends went into Tibet Imports to find and make mala bead bracelets for our wedding party. The selection and service were both great! We were able to find a variety of beads for our friends which fit each of their personalities to the letter. We liked having the description of each bead's meaning to go with the beads themselves because we were able to write custom notes for each member of the wedding party and personalize their gifts. Our friends have been recommending we stop into Tibet Imports for years now and I am so glad we decided to go with them to provide our loved ones with a thoughtful gift that they will cherish always! Thank you Sarita! We will be back! read more

Tibet Imports - The mala bracelets from Tibet Imports we made for my bridal party! - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Denver, Colorado

The staff is so friendly and helpful! I had a reading done by Sarita - remember your date, time, and location of birth. She'll even let you audio record it! She helped me pick out a mala after my reading and answered any questions I had. Highly recommend this store and Sarita! read more

Sarita is a human treasure and her shop is full of carefully curated pieces that will bring positive energies into your life.

I absolutely love Tibet Imports. Sarita is so knowledgeable, friendly, and willing to help with anything you need. I've had my Ayurvedic astrological chart read twice by Sarita over the years and have found it extremely informative and interesting and I absolutely love the Malas I have purchased with each reading. I have also purchased statues, necklaces, and crystals with Sarita's guidance to help me find exactly what I needed. I have never felt more comfortable asking questions, which for someone with anxiety is extremely important to me. I highly recommend stopping in and spending some time here. If you are looking for a perfect mala, definitely sign up for a reading! This place is amazing! read more

Good variety especially of statues. Bought some beads. People seemed nice and helpful.

I can't believe I'd never been to this place! It's jam packed with trinkets, buddhas and incense but what people really go for are the Readings... I was skeptical to say the least but had a good reading and got a necklace too. I took my mom with me and we agreed it was fun! Ask her if you can record the reading, she will show you how to do it on your phone. She will do your reading in the middle of the store with people shopping all around you so record it! You'll likely be self conscious and distracted, but it's all good. (Note: she knew a few things about me that were too bizarre to guess, and gave me specific dates for work related changes that turned out legit!) read more

This place is magical Tibet Imports was recommended to me by several of my friends. I specifically went here to see Sarita and get a Vedic chart reading + a mala. They only take walk ins for a reading. This place also boasts their beautiful selection of crystals, mala beads, incense, delicate figurines, tarot and oracle decks, singing bowls, the list goes on. When you arrive for your chart reading, she will ask you for your DOB, location of birth, and time of birth, and will proceed to print the Vedic chart. You go into the reading area in the back. She allows you to record the whole process. Which is quite helpful because there is a lot of information to receive. At the end, she picks out a mala for you, along with descriptions of the crystals in the creation. The reading (mala included) was around $55. I also bought a Lakshmi figurine for my shrine, as well as an elephant (my old soul tribute). I tell everyone I know about this glorious hidden gem. read more

Tibet Imports - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Best place to get a mala made uniquely for you and/or the guidance to design one for yourself. (A mala is like a rosary bead necklace that you can use to bring your state of mind and being back to a Godness-connected place.) The range of stones they offer is unparalleled. WOW. And, Sarita's brief, complementary Vedic astrological consultation helped me select stones that reflect and nurture the a healing approach to the issues on my personal spiritual journey. Being in the store felt special, almost sacred like a temple! I wanted to gift so many lovely, seemingly unique pieces to my dear friends. I will go back. PS: In this small business - as any small business who you want to see survive and thrive - please consider using cash or check. The fees from credit cards (and slightly less so debit cards) really eat into what little profit they make from each sale. read more

This tiny store has so many good things in it I don't know where to start. I usually pop in to buy incense, but I always end up staying to chat with the owner. There are great dresses and blouses, but everything from jewelry to books to lamps and decorative home items. You wouldn't think there was enough room in the store for all the inventory. I found a very cool wind chime that I usually would have never thought of buying, but it had different OM symbols in different sizes and small bells which made a soft music when I jiggled it. There is something good in every nook and cranny of this place if you have the time to peruse each unique item. read more

Sarita helped me with all my questions. She's so knowledgeable about astrology. She's really caring and very good at what she's doing l! I love her!! She doesn't accept tips, just you just need to bring more people in! read more

I love this store I love Sarita. I have been shopping here for years. Finally I was lucky to get a Vedic reading (thousands of years old knowledge) sarita is tuned into this magical wave length of information. I had a very empowering reading. I also made a Malay afterwards... sarita shows you how and you finish your own mala!! I love my mala and the mala and type of stone you chose goes with your Vedic reading to help give you insight as you wear your mala. I appreciate the love and care that sarita shares. S Sarita also takes small groups of women to Nepal once a year. Please check with her for the info ~. Group fills up fast. I am going with her in October 2018. Thank you Sarita for everything magical Namaste read more

I've walked past this store many times but never went in. I recently found out what I've been missing. I went in looking for an elephant gift for a friend but thought the store might be out of my price range. Not only were the finds in this store affordable, they were great quality and interesting! I found a little brass elephant that was substantial in weight and very tasteful. I kinda wanted one for myself! I will definitely be stopping in again to do a little shopping for myself! ;) read more

This store is the amazing in Denver! I set up a time with some close friends to go in and tie our own Mala's together. We each had our own astrological consultation to determine what stones we would use to tie our Mala and then we all sat with an instructor, if you will, who showed us how to tie the Mala and explained the meaning behind what we were doing and why. Great store with great knowledge and an amazing selection of stones. Would highly recommend you do the same thing with your family and friends !!! A Prayer mala is a set of Beads commonly used by Hindus and Buddhists. Malas are used for keeping count while reciting, chanting, or mentally repeating a Mantra or the name or names of a Deity. This Practice is known in Sanskrit as Japa. Malas are typically made with 16, 27, 54 or 108 beads. Doing one 108-bead mala counts as 100 mantra recitations; the extra repetitions are done to amend any mistakes. Mala @ PrayerMala are Hand made, knotted after each bead, perfect 108 stone bead, One Guru bead, Tassel and Charged with Mantras. You can select the stone, color of the string, color of the Tassel & The Guru Bead read more

Had an astrological reading. It was so spot on that it was wild. Great experience and includes matching mala for relatively affordable price. Interesting Hindu and art items to purchase there as well. read more

I went here today with a friend who spoke highly of her reading that she had done a few years ago. Sarita was dead on with several things. After my 10 minute reading (we covered a lot in this time) she chose a beautiful mala for me. I enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back! read more

Such a cool shop. I love buying my Mala beads here. The staff is very helpful and will explain which chakra each mala bead helps with. If you give them your birthday/time and place of birth, she will even do a reading for you and create a mala that is specific to you. I am so glad I found out about this place! read more

Sarita and her husband are the kindest and most open hearted people running a business! She taught me how to make a mala and is always giving the best advice for stones and their healing properties! Every time I go in there, she always has something new to show me! They have a wide selection of gifts and goodies! She has donated to a small event I held back in June also, so the kindness never ends! read more

One of the best stores in Denver for gifts and treasured objects from Nepal and Tibet! The owners make you feel right at home and are so very helpful and considerate! Make sure you make some time to visit and check out the vast number of products! read more

I love this shop! Beautiful items, hand made with love. Sarita and staff are knowledgable and sweet. I love that you can get readings with your malas and I even had them come to my business for a staff mala making party which they loved! I highly recommend this store, a great place to explore and find unique treasures made for spiritual enlightenment. read more

This shop is in kind of a odd spot next to a dive bar, and I'd never noticed it before a friend of mine told me I HAD to go in and get my Vedic astrology chart read. The price of a reading also includes a hand-made mala, so you can't beat it. So, guys. Sarita is kind of famous in Denver for a good reason. Her energy is self-contained and kind, and my reading was delightful. BTW, I actually listened to the recording again a couple of weeks ago, and now that almost a year has passed, it makes even more sense. Definitely an AAAHHHH, I SEE! moment. Anyhow. When my reading was done, she swiftly and purposefully collected three very different malas for me to hold and decide between. I loved wearing the one I chose every day until it broke, which is actually a good thing. I just went back and purchased another mala made of different stones than my first one. This new one is just as gorgeous and well-made, and has a whole new intention programmed into it. The malas are pricey, unlike the low-quality ones you can find all over the place, but it's so worth it to wear something created with love and intention. The shop itself has all kinds of cool stuff tucked away in corners, and it's pretty much impossible to walk out of there without buying a little something, so beware. Or don't, and get yourself some sweet things. read more

This store is awesome! They have so many beautiful things to purchase. The beads and Malas here are authentic and great quality. Sarita is a lovely and caring person. Her readings are so helpful! Thank you! read more

Excellent store. The staff is so helpful in explaining the various statues and what they represent. I am putting together an alter and was given some wonderful guidance on how to get started without high pressure to buy expensive items. Their selection is wonderful and ranges in prices so you have a variety of options for your budget. Sarita helped me and my friend choose our beads for our malas after our thorough readings, which were very helpful. We made our malas that night and I'm already planning to go back to buy more. Great selection! Can't say enough good things! -Erin read more

I simply cannot put into words how amazing, inspiring, motivating and free my girlfriend and I felt after our session with Sarita. Everything about this store and the people really brings to light the positive energy and vibes. We will NEVER forget this experience! THANK YOU Sarita! read more

I came here with a friend to celebrate my birthday with an astrology reading and mala bead necklace purchase. We were advised upon arrival that we would need to wait for about 15 minutes to have our readings done, as the woman performing them was with another customer. Then we were offered up the option to have a reading by a woman named Camry, who was packaging up mala bead necklaces at the counter. She stated that she has had the same training as the other woman doing readings, so we said sure! The readings were fun but my only complaint was that Camry kept packaging mala bead necklaces and gluing their descriptions, while doing our readings. This felt really distracting and like she didn't care about focusing on us during the reading. I noticed the other woman giving readings had her full attention on customers while doing readings, which made me wish we would have waited and done ours with her instead. Cute store and I love my mala bead necklace, but wish my reading would have gone differently. read more

I traveled to Nepal with the co-owner, Sarita, and saw first hand that the goods they stocks their store with are fair trade. They are goods manufactured by small business owners locally in Tibet, Nepal, China, and India who staff their businesses with native country folk. That's more than we can say for the U.S. Understand that Tibet, China and India are close cousins to Nepal. They trade profusely with each other and share ancient lineage as well. Their cuisine is shared, their dress styles are shared, and many customs are so similar as to be almost identical. As for 'true Buddhist'- the owners of Tibet Imports are Buddhist/Hindu/Christian from Nepal with family lines also tying to their cousin countries especially to Tibet and India. This mixed religion is the prevalent spiritual tradition in Nepal. It is a rich mix and profoundly impactful, metaphysically speaking. I should know as I spent four months immersing myself in Nepalese culture. This rich mix is absolutely reflective in Tibet Imports merchandise, service, and feel. If you took any time to converse with Sarita or Naresh (the owners), or their spritely young son who frequents the store on weekends, then you would gain much insight into how much their native country and cousins benefit from their support through their Denver store. Now, about the goods they offer. Before ever knowing the owners and visiting their store, I found zero other shops as reasonable and generous in what they offer. Yes, as they disclose up front, there are zero returns allowed for any of their merchandise- however -this is because they must turn their stock frequently. Doing so also greatly benefits the economies, and the hard workers, of the countries they import from. Tibet Imports often give customers freebies or additional discounts on the lovely items they keep well stocked to compensate for the zero returns policy. They also offer more variety and unique items than other shops; all items of which are authentic to the regions of East Asia they originate. It can be said that East Asia is particularly practical in that they waste nothing that the Great Creator makes available to them. Much of the products Tibet Imports sell are hand made from all-natural materials or made using processes traditional to the cultures they're derived. Many of the products are made from plant-based materials commonly found dead and abundantly so on the jungle floor, or abundantly along thousands of miles of river beds and mountain roads. If you've been to places like Nepal then you would see that they recycle almost everything, even plastic pop bottles. Those don't even make it to the dump sites. In short, the products Tibet Imports sell are made using sustainable resources and local labor. In addition, small business owners in East Asia typically invest in their employees as they would blood family. It is absurd to harangue Tibet Imports on the issue of fair trade given these realities. I buy from Tibet Imports often and can count on the Shresthas to trade mindfully all the while helping me remain diligent and honorable in my Hindu pujas and Buddhist rituals. The store also has items perfect for my worship of Christ Consciousness and Angels (Kabalic in origin). I also often buy gifts for friends and family, and for my home, from Tibet Imports. The only thing I wish for (and from) Tibet Imports is bigger retail space (which I know is extremely inflated in cost esp. in this slumped economy) and more clothing such as saris and ladies casual wear from India and Nepal such as salwar kameez, as well as more glass bangals. (Although such items are in low demand in the U.S.) Still, such items are difficult to find in the U.S. without having to shop online. I prefer to try on the duds before I buy. It would also be cool if they sold a few Nepalese and Indian (etc.) snacks so their customers can enjoy a fuller cultural experience of such amazing places in East Asia. Anyway, give Tibet Imports a try! You're guaranteed to see something you or someone you know would like! As for that Mary person bashing on the store... sounds like she was having a bad day and needed to vent on someone undeserving of the abuse. I hope life is treating you better now Mary. Om mani padme hum to you love! read more

The owner is generous and very kind! It is a fun place to shop at and her prices are the best I have come across. Awesome selection of clothing at unbelievable prices! It is now officially my favorite Tibetan store! Gretchen read more

This place and the family who runs it are lovely. This is the best place to get a finished mala or to get a very reasonably priced kit to make your own. There is a nice selection of beads and thread and Sara has an easy video on YouTube. Very much worth a trip to pick up beads, malas, or other things. Namaste! read more

My daughter has been trying to get me to come here for a reading forever. Finally went and I am so happy I did. The Vedic astrology reading performed was extremely accurate and I am so in love with the Mala that was chosen for me! Extremely worth the time and money! Highly recommended! read more

SHAME ON THEM. Never been getting a very positive vibe there. My friend bought a Prayer Mala Bead strand from them that was sold as Yellow Jade. Within 2 months the string broke. The woman owner told him she would restring it for $15, but after repeated appearances in her store she never had it done and would promise to do so. After 4 months he finally just went there to get his beads back unstrung, unrepaired. He got the impression she just couldn't bothered for $15. Why make the offer to repair it at all?? I ended up restringing it for him. Now that he has worn them for about 1 year, the yellow has completely faded from the beads. What that mean is: THEY SOLD HIM DYED GLASS BEADS!!! I usually don't write many reviews , but that really bothers me when one claims to be spiritual, yet they mislead people to get more $ in their own pockets! read more
