Love love love this shop.I know I can go in here and get a gift for any woman…and a lot of men at any time. ?I love that everything is made by individual artists who create because they love it. ?Some people say they are expensive…but these are all made by small vendors, and a lot of times the sale section is awesome!!!! ? I love all the jewelry and the lotions and the cool nick nacks!!!! ?My thought is this… if you are going to shop, why not ?A. support the little guy and B. buy stuff that isnt so run of the mill?
This is my go-to place to get cards in Burbank, where, outside the local CVS, there is a dearth of card shopping choices (Silver Lake, you spoil me!)They also have a great selection of artistic gifts. The management is helpful and attentive, moreso than I generally require. The location is right in the heart of Magnolia Park area, near all the great thrift stores.
There are a few gift shops around town that have charmed me over, and MindfulNest is one of them! You can find jewelry, art, beauty products, cards, stationery and all types of other handmade knick-knacks here. What I love most about these types of shops, is that you can truly give someone a one-of-a-kind gift from here. One of the owners rung me up and even packaged a gift I bought in a nice gift bag and ribbon (for free!) and it helps that they accept KCRW benefit cards. So glad I’ve found a great place to gift shop near my work!
I decided to spoil one of my friends with a custom scent blending session at Klean Spa’s location in the MindfulNest last month for her birthday. Everything in the store is so unique; it feels great to buy handmade, you know that whatever you get carries a the pride of individual attention with it. I can see myself coming back here whenever I need a gift for a hard to please friend. The staff was super sweet and accommodating, they even gave us excellent lunch recommendations nearby after we finished our shopping & scent creating. We love every single thing we brought home.
I do like this place and I’ve even made a few purchases…but alas the prices are way too high. I understand that things are tough all over but they need to come down just a nudge!
I came here today excited and looking forward to this place after reading the Yelp reviews, but left disappointed.They do have nice items here, all hand made, but nothing that I felt really compelled to purchase. There were several items actually that I wanted to buy, but I immediately put them down after I found our their prices. I knew I would get 15% off by mentioning Yelp, but even then the prices were too high for me. I understand that these items are one-of-a-kind and handmade, but they were just not worth the prices to me.I did enjoy walking around the shop looking at the items however, and I do agree that this place is definitely worth a look. But whether you walk away with a purchase or not, that’s really up to you. I’m a currently unemployed cheapo, so this place wasn’t for me.
I’d say this review is more like a 3.5 rather than a full 4, but ether wayI love everything in this store! Beautiful handmade items and a great selection of home goods and personal items. The prices seem a little high, but if it’s hand-crafted … it’s often worth the price.I’ve never had a problem with their customer service, but I also haven’t had the world’s most accommodating service at the store either.I strongly suggest stopping by to take a look at their wares…especially if you’re waiting for an appointment at Oasis.
LOVE IT!!!Great handmade items, ?great selection, great vibe. I just wiped out half of my Christmas list in this gem of a shop. This is going to be my go-to shop for special gifts. Go check it out if you’re looking for a unique present, or just something fun for yourself. Jewelry, art, ?candles, good bath stuff….have fun!
Absolutely adore this shop! ?Cool as S#it items, so much so I bought 2 friends gift cert’s for their birthdays here.It’s not ‘Cheap’ so please don’t go in thinking ‘Oh, I’ll find some cute, cheap tzotchkes here’ …. maybe, but doubtful …..the majority if not all the items are ART.Totally worth the money 
Totally awesome shop! I’ve been driving by here for months saying I need to stop in and check this place out. Finally, on Tuesday, while Mary-Alex A. and I were driving around after work, we flipped a U-Turn and stopped. They have a fantastic selection of local art, switch-plate covers, doorbells, jewelery, bath and body products and a little bit of clothing too. The setup is great. Very shop-able, very accessible. They have lots of Dragonfly jewelery and home decor, which is one of my favorite things. The owner was very nice and helpful. When I asked about a specific scent amongst the bath and body products, I discovered that the creator of the line was there, and she introduced me. Well, I’m a sucker for custom blended scents and body products, so into the back room I went. I ended up with a Patchouli Sandalwood massage/body oil. It is fantastic! Very moisturizing and the perfume oil is perfect. Not too heavy, but enough so you know its there, and it lasts all day. Delicious! The owner told us while we were checking out (and getting our 15% Yelper discount!) that she does not import anything, everything comes from the community or from around the country. She has truly found some beautiful and unique pieces for this wonderful little shop. I will definitely be back soon!
Enchanting artist’s den. You feel as if you are in a mini art gallery with affordable reality. I found a little neclace with a a scrabble letter “s” for my best friend Susie. ?Then I found a mirror with a little note amout living you dream. ?Wish I could remember the quote but I gifted it. Now I have picked out some gifts for me but I am not self indulgent enough. Oh, how I could get lost for an hour in here.
Mindful Nest is an art and handmade craft store where you can buy some art, soap (is it soap or some other stuff?), clothes, and other handmade goods form local artisans. There are a lot of stuff in the store but it doesn’t come off as some hoarder’s house. I could go broke really easy here.
I like to pride myself on being and adept gift buyer. Gifts that are unique yet tasteful, personal and thoughtful with out being overly ostentatious. ?Mindful Nest on the Magnolia; east of Hollywood Way is the mother load of this kind of gift. Located in the new, emerging Boutique Shop & Restaurant strip on W. Magnolia, Mindful Nest has ZERO cheap chachquee ‘consumer’ junk, made by automatons in Asia and chooses, instead, to support an increasing roster of local artists, who make beautiful, affordable, handmade and unique fashionable but not overly modish crafty gifts. These one-of-a-kind pieces include earrings (made from scrabble tiles), clocks (made from recycled 45-rpm vinyl records – I gotta an Eric Clapton for my friend), as well as votive candles and candelabras, distinct greeting cards, beautiful wrought-iron sculptures, (gorgeous) hand-bound journals, as well as a line of natural body and bath products, scented candles, diffusers and room sprays made by IN SHOP mix-ologist Jennifer (I think that was her name). It is really quite a place. The moment you walk in you know that you are not in Kansas any more and as your eyes float over the well laid out collections and wares, you are already doing the math (i.e. oh so and so would LOVE that), As well, and this is something that they should push more, Amanda, their shopkeep extrordinare, will fashion a beautiful artsy, fringe and ribbon ladened gift bag to package your unique yet tasteful, personal and thoughtful gifts. DEWD SIDE BAR: Guys…really, ay can;t go wrong in this joint. ?Seriously. ?Wanna shed the ?Neanderthal monicker your chic has placed on you? Do your shopping for her at Mindful Nest. ? Nothing says, “I feel your sensitive side” like a tube of Jennifer Klean lotion (perfect for the rubbing of feet) and a pair of ?colorful and comfy antique watches, thick & warm after foot rub socks with a matching scent candle topper. ?Seriously! The giddy “Oh My God” screams I got at Christmas for this EXACT package…let’s just say I;m going back again and again. Mindful Nest is the antithesis of the Malls and Targets and whatever other cheap, shoddy junk stores filled with mass-produced items.
One of my favorite places to find gifts for friends, family… and myself! The owner is very sweet and helpful too. I usually spend a good hour walking around the jewelry cases, trying to decide what to choose and she doesn’t mind if I take stuff out and try it on. I don’t feel pressured to buy anything, although I usually walk out with a pair of earrings or a ring. My favorite pieces are the mosaic rings by MyFriendRoze.
After my previous review stating the unsatisfactory and less-than-neighborly customer service at the Burbank location of MindfulNest, I received a message on here from the owner/manager apologizing for the lack of customer service, the prices which I complained about being too high for the local demographic, and for the fact that I didn’t even know about the personalized perfume mixing station because the employees were too busy gossiping amongst themselves to acknowledge me. She was very kind and didn’t blame me and offered a free customized perfume service. I called the other day to make the appointment (as she advised). They were able to get me in that same day. When I arrived, everyone was very kind and welcoming me on a first name basis. I know they were laying it on thick because of this Yelp situation and I recognized some of the overly-sweet behavior but either way it was nice to finally be treated with some respect. The actual perfume mixing station was tons of fun. I came prepared with what base scent I was searching and first got to smell bottles of different “notes” to see which I liked/disliked. Scents vary in category such as “Clean” (linen, cucumber), “Floral”, and even “Dirt” which smelled like a wet forest mushroom after a heavy rain and was actually quite lovely! We then proceeded to mix the notes and add drops as pleased my nose. When I finally had my desired mix, the “ingredient” list is recorded with the name of the person you are gifting it to (or yourself) which they keep on file in case you want to come back and purchase more of the same scent. The next step involves naming your perfume (another part of the fun customization process) to which they make a printed label and put it on the bottle. The entire process is like 7th grade science glass but WAY more fun (and better smelling). I made the small roll-on bottle but various perfume bottle sizes are available. Overall, the process was enjoyable and MindfulNest displayed solid judgment to try to satisfy me and make up for their unsatisfactory service. I still wouldn’t shop here because the damage has been done, I still think the prices are much too high, and I know they they were overly kind to try to get a 4 or 5 star review update; but they get ample credit for their updated service. Hopefully they take this as a lesson and treat their next customers better so this doesn’t have to happen again.
I never knew about this location until my mother and I did the Christmas stamping shop arount event, which they do once a year. There are certain stores that participate… but most of all, its to see what kind of stores there are and what gifts they are offering (or specials they have set.)Oh well, from that we were able to find MindfulNest in Burbank (Magnolia)… a store which sells Klean lotions, perfumes, body scrubs and much more. While I was looking at their selection of fresh premade lotions and etc… the owner then came around notifying people that they had a promotion on the premade lotions, perfumes and etc… Also, on any type of a creation you may have to invent as your personal own lotion. I didnt have much time to create my own lotion, yet found that “Where Angels Go” is one of the richest, best smelling and softest feeling lotion I have ever used in my LIFE!Oh my Goodness… I felt like I was in wonderland! I loved everything they had to offer. I bought the largest lotion, perfume and what ever else they had to offer for this type of scent.MindfulNest… you have a LOYAL CUSTOMER!I highly recommend this store for gift ideas and personal items.A+5 Stars
If you are looking for the ultimate place to buy a unique gift this is the shop for you! ?The women who own this store are so incredibly lovely and helpful and the selection is fantastic. ?The best part about this store is the fact that all of the merchandise is hand made in the U.S. and most of it is made locally. ?I much prefer putting money in the pockets of those in my community than sending it out of the country.
This cute and unique store is exactly what Burbank needed!The ladies who work here are terrific and give wonderful customer service. This is my first stop when looking for a Birthday gift!
When I walk into Mindful Nest ?my eye’s grow wide and succulant scents fill my nose and lightens my mind! I never know where to start and that is just the beginning of the fun to be had…Every table, wall, nook and cranny beholds specifically hand picked items that you can see and feel were made with thought, love and so much creativity. And once you make your way towards the back you are in for a real treat! Lotions, soaps, bath scrubs galore! Oh My! And the best thing about their body products? They are made right there!!! And they will leave you smelling delicious throughout the day. (one of my favorites… Satsuma! Sounds nice and juicy doesn’t it?) Everyone who works there is so helpful- it’s like having your own personnel shopper. ?They greet you with a smile- and you leave with a smile.The prices are also just right! Not too much but not to cheap. Because the items are ART- made by hand by individuals like you and me, you probably won’t find many ‘deals’ here… but I actually prefer that. It’s nice to know that someone put time and energy into what I am gifting or even purchasing for myself as opposed to gifting something that anyone on the block will carry. ?If you want a deal- then go to the Made in China section… wait! They don’t have a Made in China section! Whoooo whooooo!!! MIndful Nest is truly a place to find the perfect gift for just about anybody. And there is nothing like a business that supports art and it’s local community. I will High 5 to that!!! All day long….
Can not say enough about Mindfulnest! Amazing stuff, unique, artsy, and one of a kind! Friendly, happy, helpful staff! Create your own perfume, lotion, and body wash…buy a handmade greeting card, purchase unique jewerly created by local artists. Shop for toys, things to hang, hand made wooden boxes, clay sculptures, and many other beautiful and creative items.
I love this gift shop! I love that they make the Klean body products right there so it always smells lovely. Everyone that received gifts from Mindful Nest this year loved them.There really is a great variety of products to choose from and I love shopping at a Brick and Mortar shop instead of the mall. The store owners are always helpful so if you are anywhere near Burbank definitely stop in.
I LOVE Mindful Nest!!! ?They have the most unique and unusual gifts. ?Every time I go into the store there is something new to drool over. ?I love how they support artisans that have a meaning to their products. ?The place also smells delish as KLEAN is making and selling yummy Bath and Body products on the premiss. ?The people who work there also have the most positive energy. ?It is a very refreshing store on all accounts!!
“expensive” prices? not really. ?sure, they’re a bit higher than you would pay elsewhere, but that’s because you are buying art. ?as in: one of a kind, personally made ~ most likely locally, not made in china. ?these are objects you can’t import for 5 cents on the dollar. ?they CAN’T discount the prices much (though DO mention the yelp page and get 15% off) and keep their local artisan allies in business.and let’s face it: wouldn’t you love to BE one of the artisans and actually get PAID for your gorgeous work? let’s help them do that.mindfulnest is full of wonderful, unique gifts, jewelry, clothing, body care products and artwork. literally something to see at every turn. ? it’s the kind of stuff that you buy when you’ve finished reading “clear your clutter with feng shui” and pared down, lived that life for a year, and are ready to THOUGHTFULLY put things back into your personal space.these goods are beautiful. ?simply beautiful. and yes, worth every penny they are asking.
Fabulous store! ?If you’re an arty, crafty, nature-y, organic-loving, wanna give-your-friends- the-most-beautiful-and-original-gift kinda person – then this is the store you want to come to for all your gift buying needs (for both yourself and others, lol).Beautiful hand-crafted jewelry, notebooks, art, sculpture, accessories, bath/beauty products and more. ?Check them out. ?You will not be disappointed!!
Mindful Nest is a GEM. ?A beautiful and warmly inviting vibe with unique and original gifts… It’s a lovely boutique with friendly people, dyno-mite customer service, cool gifts, and it smells amazing in there!Super place for the holidays for thoughtful gifts. ?Thumbs WAY UP!
Mindfulnest has become my new favorite place to buy gifts! I love that everything there is a work of art, done by the artists themselves and not some machine in a factory. Supporting artists and finding beautiful and unique things to give to those I love…perfect!The owner, Amanda, is always friendly and helpful. And Jennifer, who from the back room, makes the wonderful lotions and oils that they sell (my favorite is the Yuzu spray!), never fails to make me feel welcome. However, the best thing about the store is that the selections available are not cheesy or silly, but tasteful and beautiful. A lot of love went into the making of these products. This is a truly dangerous store, in the best possible way.
This shop is fantastic! ?From unique local artist made jewelry to hilarious magnets and gorgeous cards to amazing bath goods done by Klean Spa, you need never find another place to shop for gifts or find lots of goodies for yourself. ?I am a huge fan!
What a fantastic and fun shoppe I just discovered. I’m a big fan of original one of a kind gifts. It’s nice to have something like this in my neighborhood. A fun, eclectic array of items, super friendly staff, and even an on site oil and lotion mixologist. Please check ‘em out! Xmas is just around the corrrnerrr!
Seriously the best place in Burbank to get one of kind, thoughtful gifts for your friends, family or yourself! Love thier jewelry.
Sweet, small local business with unique small gifts. Corner of Magnolia and Lima. Stop in and check it out!
Beautiful merchandise and vast selection. However pearl earrings, this place was less than welcoming. The management was so cold, it ruined the entire experience. I visited this shop with a friend and assumed it would be “warm and fuzzy” like their merchandise. The woman in charge was RUDE and she seemed annoyed by our presence. She wouldn’t give me eye contact when speaking with me. In today’s recession I expect better service – eye contact and courtesy in exchange for my hard-earned dollar.
I went in the other day before a nail appointment and I must say that the staff was super friendly and there were so many cool finds there! ?I definitely recommend it if you’re into handmade items. ?I got myself some roll on perfume (grapefruit and vanilla) and an espresso flavored lip balm but there were so many other things I wanted! ?The pictures, jewelry, bags, everything was so fantastic! ?I’ll definitely be shopping there in the future!
Am totally addicted to this store! Original and beautiful gifts at affordable prices! And what I like is that I encourage national artists (few from other countries too)… I have been bringing friends there since it has opened and 90% of them always end up buying something! When I need a gift, I always start there first!
THEE MOST AMAZING STORE! Always the most unique things….GREAT friendly, helpful but never pushy staff!LOVE LOVE LOVE it!
this place is awesome. I went to a make your own perfume class and loved it. they are so nice in there. check it out.
I’m the type of person that has to get someone the most eclectic gift for a Birthday/Christmas. I went here with the hopes of shopping for the women in my family (Mother, Grandmother, and Sisters). I spent a whole afternoon here. The owner ended up posing as my personal shopper the entire time, and had no problem giving me a history of each item I liked, info on the artist, what the piece meant, etc. Was really happy, and never felt so satisfied with my gift ideas.
MindfulNest has beautiful and unique gifts for everyone – a client, mother, friend or even yourself.! A thoughtful, peaceful store with wonderful service. ?I will definitely be back!
MADE IN THE USA! Finally a place where i can grab a gift for me or my friends and know its not some piece of junk plastic thing made in china. Eclectic and mainstream jewelry and home decor. Awesome made in house vegan body lotions and scrubs (try the german chocolate!) Most of the stuff here is actually handmade in the usa, a great place to support our local mom and pop businesses!
I don’t know which is the correct page but it’s the same store so I’m putting the same review:Admittedly I am biased- as an artist in the store- however I don’t want my stuff in just ANY store, and this is not just ANY store. ?They treat their artists amazingly well, and their customers better (if that’s possible). ?They have so many awesome things in this store- and every time I go in I find something I didn’t see before. ?If you don’t like the first thing you see- just look to your left or right there’s something else there you will. ?I love that the merchandise in this store is almost all handmade and by local artisans. I love the proprietors. Well hell I love almost everything about it. ?I love it so much I signed up to yelp just to write a review.
I love this place! Sooo much to choose from… I bought a bunch of Xmas gifts here – everything from KLEAN body products to jewelry to very hilarious coasters. ?My husband even surprised me by coming back and buying me the necklace I was coveting. Definitely stop by and check it out.
Mindfulnest is a delightful place just to hang out and take in the wonderful smells. ?Great unique gifts and wonderful KLEAN bath and body products. ?If you have not had the opportunity to go to a “Blending Bash” at Mindfulnest, I highly recommend you do it.
I have been meaning to check out this store since I drive by it at least twice a day, finally visited for a Mother’s Day gift and had a lovely experience…from the friendly people to the beautiful one of a kind jewelry and art pieces available at great prices. My mom loved her necklace and I am in love with my Klean Mist. You MUST check out the amazing lotions/sprays/scents they create in store. Ka-Bloom is my fave! Thanks Scentual Mixtress!
Mindfulnest is a great addition to Magnolia Park. ?The owner is friendly and helpful and the variety of merchandise is wonderful. ?There is something for everyone…body products, jewelry, art, pottery. ?Their body products are made on site and are fresh and all natural.The owners are already getting involved in the community, by participating in various Magnolia Park events such as Be Boppin in the Park and Holiday in the Park. ?They help make Magnolia Park a fun place to shop in Burbank. ?A must to check out!
A community is shaped by its residents. ?It is defined by the character of all who dwell within its boundaries. ?Mindful Nest is an example of the best of Burbank. ?Within its four walls lie beauty, innovation, imagination, and inspiration. ?It begins with the women who inhabit the space, and extends to every artisan-crafted piece that they collect for our pleasure. ?If you have not experienced the joy of entering the welcoming corner doors on Magnolia, stop in. ?Enjoy. ?You’ll be back.
A wonderful store chock full of truly unique and inspiring gifts. Lovely owner and staff. A treasure trove of a store with lots to explore and enjoy CZ jewelry! Find out for yourself!
They have a lot of great merchandise. However, from my experiences in the store, they are more concerned with making a buck than helping their customers. I was not impressed with the customer service and the items are way overpriced. They may say hi to you when you walk in the door, but don’t be fooled, you won’t find deals.
I had walked by this shop many times wanting to go in and finally did so right before the holidays…Mindfulnest is now my “go to” shop for gifts. ?They have a beautiful array of items from jewelry, stationery, art, and accessories. ?These are not local crafts, but true works of art with taste and humor. ?My favorite combination! ?I love supporting local artists too, so I am even more happy that this little shop is right here in Burbank. ?The prices are fair and there is a huge range available from small and inexpensive to true treasures. ?They also offer their own line of scented products that are made right there in the store! ?Truly a one of a kind shop with lovely staff and owners.
my new favorite store! how did i not know this was here? i was in a rush the first time i went in and since then i have not been able to stop thinking about the smells of their homeade lotions and soaps and perfume. i have been looking for a natural perfume or body spray for a while now and there are so many choices here! i also can’t wait to treat myself to some jewelry. thank you mindfulnest! you will be my new go to for interesting gifts for others and for myself….. 
This is a great neighborhood store. It has a great charm and cozy appeal to it that never falters. The sales people are quite helpful and not pushy. They have a great product line and seems to change regularly. I love their fragrances and candle selections. This is a must who love crafty items and want to support local artisans.
I love Mindfulnest. The energy makes for a very inviting atmosphere. Definitely one of my favorite stores in Burbank. I love that they support local artists and also dedicate their window dressing to an artist each month. Amanda and Jennifer are also very gracious to host the Burbank Green Drinks each month, so they get even more points. If you are looking for a unique gift this is the place. You can’t go wrong; you will definitely find something amazing and creative, plus it will save you the mall headache. Or go shopping for yourself, but give yourself time to look around and then look around some more. So much to see and admire!
fabulous products, fabulous ladies making them! ?when I use Jennifer’s body lotions, I get compliments all day — AND I feel yummy! ?wish the store was closer to me! ?open one on the westside!
