Handmade, hand-picked and hand curated goods. Great collection of all sorts of curio gifts, getting cards, felt items, tapestry, pure incenses, metal sculptures, unique jewelry. I can keep going on and on. They have some cool stuff worth exploring. Good energy and good living. Must check out small curio spot for sure.

Finally a truly«local, family owned» import shop. Maya and her family live in the Monterey Bay, but are originally from Nepal. Maya travels to Nepal and hand-picks her inventory from the local craftspeople, then has it sent back to the states. It is very affordable for handmade imported crafts. They have a great selection of incense, and it always smells great in here! When you visit the shop you always get a very personal and intimate experience. There is a story behind every object for sale and otherwise, so if something speaks to you, ask them about it. My partner and I are after the perfect singing bowl, and they give us as much time to find it, we still haven’t made the commitment, yet we keep coming back to try different bowls. Today Maya let my 6 month old stand in their largest bowl and played it for him. I won’t go anywhere else for gift shopping, especially when everything comes with a story! Thank you guys for being here!

What a magnificent little shop! We picked up some amazing incense there. Maya’s quiet enthusiasm for her shop was contagious! We will definitely make this our go-to spot for incense and any other unique gift ideas. I can’t wait to go back and peruse the unique jewelry in the shop!

The coolest shop in Monterey! They have beautiful items from Nepal, including lovely jewelry, handmade paper and journals, singing bowls, and even some cute gifts for children. The owners are friendly world-travelers; stopping by their shop makes you feel like you’re truly in an international town.

I really like this shop. It’s an authentic Nepalese import store that is family owned and operated. We’ve met the siblings that manage the shop and they are super friendly. It always smells of amazing incense in here and it’s the perfect place to go gift hunting with items in every price range. The store used square reader, so if you have an email account you get your receipts emailed which is kind of cool. Highly recommended.
