I have never visited this store in person. I discovered it on Instagram when I fell through a…read morerabbit hole. The aesthetic of the shop and the product offering (great fifty items, a lot of local products, fun greeting cards, plants!) is what drew me to follow them. Having a "Visit Ridgewood Day" and and shop and Stay Forever was on my to-do list this spring, but now we're all grounded. I was so happy to see that the owners took a creative way to drum up some business during a very uncertain time but selling all types of care packages. I decided to buy a surprise box for my friend, and she loved it. It included a candle and a gorgeous spring green journal. I ended up buying three more boxes for my friends' children; I cannot wait to see the pics of their loot from Stay Forever. I will definitely be visiting this local women-owned business when things get better.

Cute standard gift shop with fun selection of many of the kinds of things featured in most local…read moregift shops. Plenty of fun unique things here as well. Definitely worth a visit if in the area. Enjoyed their Ridgewood-specific items! Didn't love that a few different items didn't have prices, don't really ever see that. And wish they offered printed receipts, not all customers are open to providing email or phone. But alas if not, to display the prices on a customer-facing device while ringing things up, prior to payment. But if a customer is unclear, they can certainly ask the staff! Just would generally say that those things combined create an issue it's not really typical to have to navigate nowadays.

Located on Astoria's Steinway Street, this store is a branch of a popular toy and lifestyle store…read morein the Northeast US* that carries all manner of East Asian bath and beauty products, fashion accessories, household items, stationery, snacks and drinks, toys--especially plushies, blind boxes and other collectible figurines. You'll find a mix of Korean, Japanese and Chinese brands here, and the price point is low to mid. They compete with a similar audience as Pop Mart, since they both carry a lot of collectibles, though Rumi offers on a broader range of goods while Pop Mart seems more collectibles-focused. Inside this pastel-colored store everything is arranged neatly, and it's a large location with several claw machines in the front, several aisles of merchandise with cute characters plastered everywhere. Along the right side of the store, the wall running most of the length of the store features hundreds of stuffed animals, notably many capybara plushies which are all the rage. Not sure why, but in April on an afternoon well into the 80's F and humid, there was no AC in the store...it felt like the heat might've been turned on accidentally it was that warm. I felt kinda bad for the staff there having to suffer thru the heat, I hope they get that fixed soon! For more info: https://rumilifeshop.com *operating in NY, NJ, CT, MD and VA. And online.

Plus, they even have a few claw machines by the entrance for added fun. The store is bright, well-organized, and really enjoyable to shop in. The prices are reasonable for most items, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. I walked in not really needing anything--just curious--but left having spent nearly fifty bucks! If you're in the market for a fun gift or just want to browse, this is a great place to visit. There's a ton of novelty, trending, and super cute Asian-inspired items to discover.

Also, I try to go there to get shoes and I never have luck. I wear a 6 1/2 to a seven you would think that they would have at least three pairs of those in the store. Most of their shoes are very large sizes(9-12). Their prices are not good at all. I would say their location in Williamsburg is much better, but even then their prices are a little too high in general, particularly in Ridgewood.

They have held their shape and the colors are still pretty good. They have always had great sales. There's one going on right now. I love the jeans but I happened to be wearing a pair just like the manikin in the window. At my age I have enough clothes to last for the rest of my life! I rarely need anything. That doesn't stop me from trying to get my daughter inside. I really don't understand why she won't consider their clothes. This is a nice location too. I'm a fan!

Their's has an annoying policy that the rooms are locked and you need to be buzzed in to go and try something on. Decent sales going on and I was able to score some killer graphic T's and shirts with some cool savings. Gotta look fit and sexy!
