Fun little store. I like going in only when I have a little money to spare, cause I can never just leave empty handed! So many interesting items to choose from. Creepy, cute, funny, and even a little stylish—all options available here!
This place was super cool! Bought myself a new journal and would've bought a few other things, if only I made more money. 😭 5/5 stars! …
Super cute store. Kind of on the small side, but full of goodies! Employees are very friendly, everything is so clean.
I went into Momento store on Hawthorne Boulevard yesterday on Sunday, February 23, 2025 at about 2:30 PM. I walked around the store for about 10 minutes. I picked out two bags I wanted to buy. I was planning on buying these two bags before I even entered the store my alarm on my smart phone went off, so I went up to the cashiers counter took my phone out of a bag That had hummingbirds on it that had been in my coat pocket. I have bought it at Powell‘s bookstore, but noticed that memento had the same bag for sale with the hummingbirds on it. I shut my alarm off saleswoman had been following me around store I didn’t mind she said to me , you have to leave now you’re making me nervous you’re talking to yourself and that’s always a bad sign told her calmly I wasn’t talking to myself and I was talking to God she said ‘good’.I was talking very low no higher than a whisper I was praying out loud, but no louder than a whisper. It was offensive to me. Saleswoman said it was bad sign to talk to yourself. I was praying to the Lord, not talking to myself. That’s never a bad sign. What was a bad sign is her mean judgmental attitude towards me. It was also a bad sign to me that there is huge picture of the devil up on the wall in store portrayed as a cute cartoon character, but the devil isn’t cute. Devil is symbol of evil. There’s nothing cute about evil. Picture of a devil up on the wall at Momento makes memento seem like a satanic store. I told saleswoman sorry I made you nervous. She told me I could buy the two bags I was holding I was grateful I could buy the two bags I was planning on buying, but I was interested in buying something else in the store, but I didn’t have a chance because she told me I had to leave. I like your long hair I told her, I was polite, nice to her the whole time I was in store, ,but she was very hostile towards me. I left store with hurt feelings for a long time I knew I had done nothing wrong. My hope is that your business isn’t mean again to a shopper again your advertisement says your transgender friendly, but please be friendly to everybody not just transgender people. Thank you for reading this .
Amazing gift shop, & Miranda (the owner?) Is wonderful! Having no luck finding a gift shop that would deliver to a loved one in the hospital, I called Memento & explained my dilemma. Miranda happily accepted my special request for same day …
