Lucky Stone Gifts and Crystals

This store is a pretty interesting place. Most of the things inside aren’t really anything one would need but they would make neat gifts.
If you know someone who likes a little bit of culture in their home this would probably be a great place to shop for them. They carry Buddhas, teapots, fountains, stones and much more. It is mostly home décor type stuff that can add some personality to your home. It could also look extremely out of place depending on the rest of your home.
It’s definitely a cool place to drop in and if you like this kind of stuff you will probably spend a few dollars.

A very small shop with small Asian trinkets like Buddhas, feng shui items, and various things that are questionable in practicality but somewhat interesting. The selection is not as a broad as other gift stores in the area, but it is worth dropping in if you happen to be in Chinatown. How many Buddha figurines does a person need, anyways?

At this little shop, they’ve got the usual kitsch you’d find in a Chinese shop. Big belly-​laughing Buddhas, jade trees, wooden miniatures, more Buddhas, hand fans, carvings, statues, teapots and cups, etc. The owner is trying to capitalize with Westerners on the whole Feng Shui craze that’s widely inspiring home décor right now. They have some Zen fountains and stone statues, but most of the stuff has too exotic of a feel to be considered mainstream enough, and not «religious» by the Jones, and those trying to keep up. A quick look in this shop was all I needed. It wasn’t much different from Superior Crafts and Gifts, down the street, which is better and has a few more original items to look at. My one piece of advice to the owner: if you’re going to push Feng Shui, it might be a good idea to sell a few books about it that aren’t in Chinese!
