M’pressions

Great little place in the village to find random things that are awesome. They carry Chilewick door mats which I have found to be amazing. Stopped in today and scored this amazing candle. Husband and Wife who run it are so friendly, and always a pleasure to see.

Started my holiday shopping!
What a fabulous find… I didn’t want to leave!
I will be back…

This is the perfect boutique. Many items I would like for myself, gift ideas and home décor. Very Unique items. Wish they had these items online for purchase.

I was wandering around Riviera Village, snooping in some of the great little shops, and I’ve found a new favorite with M’pressions!
Everything that they carry is unique and high-​quality. I purchased a beautiful large bowl to give as a gift to a friend, a new bath-​salt burner for my home, and a gorgeous pearl bracelet for my wrist :)
I met Wayne, the owner, who was very friendly and warm. The merchandise assortment is so different and unique — I’m pretty sure anyone could find something they like here. I know I will be back soon for a perfume that I have wanted to buy but didn’t know where to find it, some vases that had really cool insect designs on them, and a slew of other goodies to give as gifts this holiday season.
It’s a tiny gem of a shop, but it’s worth a stop in, if not to just take in the serenity of the atmosphere and browse what you may have missed last time you visited.

Wonderful little shop chock-​full of a great variety of nicely curated fair trade goods that would make great gifts for someone else or yourself! Owner Wayne was there when I stopped by, and he is warm, friendly, and super-​helpful. Go buy something here right now!

Candles, Tibetan bells, cards, jewelry, scarves, clothes etc.
All price ranges!
Great for a gift for yourself, or for a very lucky friend :)
Lots of original items here, everything here is a gem! Great for post Green Temple shopping.

I love everything in here! A great place to find a unique gift for just about anyone. The place has charm with unusual products from Guatemala, Nepal, India… etc. But also carry very beautiful things created by local artists. You’ve really got to take your time to go through every inch of this place because there is a surprise in every nook and cranny. The owners are great people and Wayne has a story for just about anything. Go and have fun exploring!

This place had a lot of Eastern-​themed stuffs. The one that caught my eyes was Himalayan salt lamp that you just have to heat it up to light up. Yeah, some 50’s-esque posters and goods do not necessarily match with other things, but I guess these things are according to owners’ preference. Merchandices are also pretty expensive though, so you need to be selective on what to buy. I saw a lot of women visited this store, so it’s probably a nice place to take your female friend ;). My date bought some cards.
My date seemed to know an owner quite well, and they ended up talking about the current economic situation quite extensively. The fact that this store has a lot of interesting stuffs made me understand his alternative views.

A friend and I stumbled upon this store while on a bike ride. We rode our bikes from Hermosa Beach to the Riviera village area of Redondo Beach and decided to tie up our bikes right outside this shop. We wandered in and I couldn’t believe I hadn’t been in this place before. The store is chalk full of interesting and exciting things. Clothes, candles, home décor, books, cards, stationary, jewelery, pop culture gifts. You can find something for almost everyone in here bosses, colleagues and even babies!

This store is an absolute GEM. sitting right next to The Green Temple, you will find a gift shop. At first I thought it was quite new-​agy… but as i browsed, I thought it was interesting it had American and other really random (and certainly rare) things. It was neat! Where else can you find a store that sells a guide of «how to become the most popular person at school?» hahaha. it was funny. also… you are expected to find useful things like cool pencils and decorative stuff. I will probably come back to this store if im looking for a unique present.
by the way… when you enter the store, you will find a couple running the store. Wayne and Naoko Page. I believe Naoko is either viet or japanese (she’s quite attractive). they seem like an unorthodox and unlikely match. So consider yourself warned before you check her out in front of her husband.

This is a tiny little boutique store with a variety of stuff.
stuff to make your place smell good (candles, incense)
stuff to make your place look pretty (beachy wall hangings, magnets)
stuff to serve food on (platters, plates, glass, place mats)
stuff to make yourself look cute (jewelry, a rack or two of clothes)
miscellaneous stuff
The people who work there are really nice and every time I go in all this ‘stuff’ stares at me and I really want to love something enough to bring it home. Its a cute shop where I’m sure you could find something unique for yourself or as a gift if you weren’t looking for anything specific.

A new-​agey type of shop, right off Green Temple Restaurant’s fountain patio. Nice people here.
