Up Up & Away

Really fun assortments of flags, kites and toys of all kinds, plus cool crafty things. The man at the counter was incredibly nice and genuine (not fake sales-​nice). I would have loved to buy lots of things (including starting my «oh no I might be addicted to holiday flags» collection) if I hadn’t already splurged on too many things shopping on Main. But I did get a great little gift for my dad. They also had some cool/​cute sports ornaments like a red and blue mini Dodgers chair and fun postcards. They have «Metal Earth» models that you can build — everything from planes and buildings to Iron Man and R2D2. So cool!
Very whimsical store. Looking forward to going back next time I’m in Seal Beach.

Solid selection of both flying and yard kites. Bought a sugar skull lawn ornament and they gave me 10% off because it was the last one. Small town America at its best

Such lovely people here really great prices and so helpful. They helped us fix a kite we had and didn’t charge anything but the parts so it came out to less than $ 5

We strolled Main Street and went into almost every shop. This one was my favorite. A cute store with a small town feel.

Very cool selection of retro toys!

Stepped in to purchase a simple starter kite for my kids and an hour later I walked out with a kite, two flags, and a garden gnome. Staff is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and present you with the right kite for your particular need/​use/​ability. The staff are kite enthusiasts and would prefer to sell you the the right and not necessarily the most expensive kite. I’ll definitely return when it’s time to upgrade to a more advanced kite.

We love this store so much! We come to Seal Beach specifically to come to this charming shop. I like to put flags out in front of our house for each holiday or special time of year. I have a wrought iron stand that the flags are attached to, and the owner of the store is so helpful in directing you to where the flags are for a particular theme or holiday. She asked me what my «flavor» was, and I asked her what that meant. She said it was geared to whether I wanted something whimsical, funny, serious, pet lover, etc. I was interested in anything «ladybug» related, and also ones for Thanksgiving/​Autumn and Halloween and I wanted them to be colorful and «cute.» She had some already out on display but, based on my «flavor,» she went in the back and brought out many more to choose from. I bought multiple flags and a couple new iron stands. Rarely have I encountered such a lovely, friendly, helpful shop owner, and it is truly a pleasure to shop here. In addition to all sizes and shapes of flags, they also carry amazing kites and wonderful, unique toys. Make a day of it and come to Main Street in Seal Beach. It is an adorable, quaint avenue to stroll and window shop. There are many wonderful restaurants and cafes, all within one block of the beach and the pier. One thing I really appreciate is that every little shop and restaurant on Main Street is a «Mom and Pop» establishment… no chain restaurants or stores. It feels really good to support local owners and businesses. When you arrive on Main Street in Seal Beach, you will swear you have stepped back in time to Mayberry. It is a feeling of happiness and nostalgia spending a day here… you’ll love it!

A very nice kite store with more than just kites and decorative banners. There are tons of really fun retro toys. Stuff we palyed with in the 60’s and 70’s.
The kite section is very good, with a wide variety of sizes, shapes and styles. I love to fly kites at the beach, and a nice kite shop so close is handy. But be careful — they prefer no sandy feet. (I chuckle at that)
There are flags and banners to represent your hobby, your pets, your religious sayings, the holiday or your mood. Fun spinners are available to brighten up your yard or deck.
When browsing around Seal Beach — this is a fun stop. If you don’t care for kites — anyone will love the toy section!
