Such a lovely little store. Most trips to Downtown Culver involve me stopping into Lundeens. It’s pretty much the perfect place to your friends a $ 20-$ 30 semi-unique birthday gift. They even wrap it(Very nicely) for free. Some items are very pricey, but that’s part of being a boutique store in an expensive area.

Absolutely LOVE this shop. Great selection of unique cards, gifts, home décor and jewelry. Their complimentary gift wrapping is reason enough to shop there.

After always getting one upped by my sister’s cards, whether it be for Holidays or Birthdays, she finally made the mistake of sharing her favorite gift spot with me a couple years back. Ever since, I’ve reclaimed the coveted title of most favorite child with the aid of Lundeen’s sweet cards and gifts. Fortunately for my sister, I’m a gracious favorite child, so I’ve repaid the favor by buying her a menagerie of gifts and cards from Lundeen’s for her Birthday and Holidays and whatnot. So yeah, if you’re struggling to be the favorite child, grandchild, baby mama, or whatever, Lundeen’s is the official spot for all of your gifting and card needs.

Such a great place to find gifts! My sister was looking for a gift for a friend and decided to check this gift shop out. I’ve seen this place before a couple times in passing, but had never walked in. We were greeted warmly by who I think were the owners, and I never once felt like anyone was looking over my shoulder, pressuring me to buy something; overall a really nice atmosphere! Take your time and look around because there’s tons to see packed into this little store. Cards, stationary, candles, books, baby stuff, jewelry… seriously, if you’re in a pinch to find a gift, just come in here; you’ll find something. Another great perk is that they gift wrap for free! The woman that wrapped my sister’s purchase was really nice and did a great job with the brown paper and colored twine. My purchase was placed in a paper bag with tissue paper and then tied up with some more colored twine. It really gave the gifts a nice home-y feel.

Love this place! They always have the perfect gifts for everyone on my list. I just wished they opened up earlier in the day!

This place is one of the best«gag» gift spots I’ve seen. Almost everything in the store is unique and high quality. Check out this sound machine I got for my boss(he loved it)!

The perfect card and small gift shop. Unique greeting cards for all occasions abound. I stop in before any event that requires a hostess gift because the candle selection regularly contains new, subtle scents with creative containers. The staff is always friendly and ready to beautifully wrap your purchase. Who wouldn’t want to take that extra step out of gift giving?! Most items are slightly more expensive than average, but the service and quality are worth the extra money.

I love this store. I love how many things they have in there. Their staff is AMAZING so sweet. The only thing I don’t love is how late it opens but that doesn’t make any less cool. Just less opportunities for me to enjoy it.

5 stars for selection of adorable must-get-this-now items for yourself or friends and family. And, super friendly service. 80 bucks later I have two birthday presents, a gorgeous letterpress card, and gifts for myself. Me happy.

Seriously one of the cutest boutiques. Every time I’m in DT Culver City I wander in here. Reading their greeting cards are reason enough to stop in. I’ve bought many through the years and have recently picked up an awesome organic lotion and moleskin journal.

I don’t like Lundeen’s for one simple reason — they have so many fragrances in there, and I’m allergic to something in the air. My kids love Lundeen’s and we’ve visited many times — but every time we do, my nose starts running like crazy and I’m now walking around in the store with stuff just dripping out my nose in torrents and I don’t know what to do. Once I made my son run over to Starbucks to get me some napkins — most of the time I just pick up one of those stuffed animals and wipe away. No, I don’t do that. That was a joke. It wasn’t until our last visit that I figured out the fragrances were killing my nose. Now I know better, and will wait outside while my kids peruse the goods(and hopefully don’t come across the inappropriate-for-little-kids things).

Cute little shop with local gifts and also some from elsewhere. It’s like a live etsy shop. There are hand made jewelry, kids toys, cool greeting cards, candles, wallets, and whole of other knock knacks for amusement. Perfect spot to get someone a gift!

This treasure trove is just absolutely adorable, and quite tasteful. I can spend hours looking at every knick knack and thinking of who to gift them to. There’s an entire section dedicated to baby stuff that makes my toddler daughter want to rip everything off the shelves, so be warned. There are also tons of COOKBOOKS, the latest and greatest of them. So if you need to get a gift for someone, anyone really, visit this store! They even customize wrap gifts, which saves time when you’re on the go. So freaking sweet.

This is a great place to find unique quirky gifts for babies, kids, and adults! They have some pricey items but the kids toys are all really organic and quality. They carry a lot of Plan Toys brand which uses rubberwood to make all their products. They have tons of great scented candles too. They gift wrap as well — at least for the holidays!

This store is cute, has a lot of great product in all price ranges. I love the cards, books, jewelry, gifts — everything! I got me some cute 925 silver jewelry(am allergic to nickel)! I need to come here more often for gifts in a pinch! It was crowded when I was here the whole time! Def worth checking out; wish I stopped in years ago!

It feels great to support a local business and Lundeen’s takes care in stocking unique items that are great for gifts. They have a unique selection of cards that are only slightly more expensive than Hallmark. They have amusing books and unusual novelty items and jewelry. Located on a strangely shaped block in the middle of two streets, parking can be found on the street(maybe) or in one of downtown Culver City’s two hour free lots(definitely). You’ll have to walk a block or two to get here from wherever you end up parking. Staff is always pleasant.

THISPLACERULES! I live so close by and have walked by many a time wondering what type of gifts they sell. My niece and nephew and mother’s birthdays are all at the end of March and I decided to get my act together and send gifts this year. Maggie the store manager helped me with all my gifts offering creative and spot on items to send to my family members. I was delighted with the card selection(I got one for my boyfriend, and then 3 birthday cards) all made with high quality paper and with catchy non Hallmark phrases. They are always receiving new shipments of changing merchandise Maggie told me. You can find a gift for anyone of any age there. It’s bound to be unique and well received. I wandered in not knowing what to expect and left spending $ 170. A successful shopping trip with great gifts. Oh and how could I forget to mention that Maggie wrapped all three gifts in a small box as well as two separate parcels for the twins with great colors and three different strands of colorful ribbons. Excellent customer service with awesome gifts.

Great little gift and card shop with lots of cool boutique items. I’ve purchased a couple of gorgeous sets of greeting cards here and I always get compliments on them. I’ve also bought a number of great children’s books, a metal tube of lavender lotion which I always keep in my bag, and I’m currently looking at one of the long-legged dolls in the cool outfits for my cousin’s daughter.
