Home Economics

The employee at the store was so sweet and helpful! I ended up purchasing a dandelion, clover soy candle — smells WONDERFUL & a silver bangle bracelet. Love the vibe, love the service, love their style!

Randomly dropped by this store and was impressed by the selection, albeit limited. Very hipster, quaint shop. They sell a wide range of random items, from lights in mason jars to scented candles and baby toys/​clothes. I ended up grabbing some items for gifts, which were all well-​received. Some quality, hard to find items :)
If you use Birchbox, yes, you’ll find a lot of their items here… yep, that kind of store haha

Unique, fairly-​priced gifts, and knowledgeable staff! Whenever I’m looking for a cool, one-​of-​a-​kind gift (generally leaning towards female, but there is some good stuff for us guys too), this is my go-​to. There’s jewelry, sweet home décor (Man-​Cans, candles… for men!), trinkets, and other things I’ll have to come back for (the picnic baskets look awesome).

Cool little shop off of Center Street Promenade that has neat gifts and home décor. It’s definitely not a big shop, but it has a lot of the hip accessories that you’d find at SEED People’s Market at The Camp without actually having to drive to Costa Mesa. This definitely comes in hand when I need a last minute present, but want something on the unique side.
You’ll find a lot of vintage looking items that you can wear or use to decorate. It is a little on the pricier side, but it’s also not something that you can find at your local big box retailer.
For the home side, they have an array of candles, cooking utensils, mugs, books. If you’re looking to just spruce up the living space or throw a one of a kind dinner get together, then this is definitely a place for you. They tend to change things up pretty often, replacing merch or rotating the stock. If you see something you like, you’d better grab it because it might not be there the next time you go back.
Parking is a cinch with 90-​minute spots in front or a two-​hour garage behind. A great stop if you’re just strolling Center Street before or after the Packing House or eating at one of the adjacent restaurants in the area.

I live in the area and this is a great place to buy small random gifts. It has helped me out in a pinch a few times when on my way to a housewarming, birthday etc. as they have a cool selection of cards. (not your typical hallmark stuff)
They also have some cool unique kids toys. I specifically like the brand «sugar booger» and have bought my baby some items by them.
I made a Unilocal account just to review this place because I think its awesome. Their merchandise changes all the time so if you stop by a few times a month, you are bound to see different things in stock.
Denise is always super helpful when I am there. Thanks Denise!

It’s like a cute standalone knick nack aisle of an Urban Outfitters but better. Tons of cute things tucked in little corners. Great place to explore when you have a break or visiting for the farmer’s market.

This store has a limited supply of random stuff. I came in here on shop small Saturday to pick up some stuff while supporting local businesses. WHen I come into a store like this, I always feel like I’m TRYING to spend money, because the stuff is so random.
The gal working the counter was very nice and informative.
I put two coffee cups, $ 12 each
A cookbook for $ 45
a journal for$ 7
It ended up not being a bad deal because they were on sale, but those prices are high in general.

If you are looking for a place to buy a unique and hand crafted gift, this is your place. For all of you travelers looking for a piece of California or something different to take home from California come here. Located close to the Disney Resort it is worth the few miles north to downtown Anaheim.
I’ve been here several times to buy gifts not only for my self but for family and extended family and friends.
They have something for everyone and not only is a great store to browse in the staff is genuine and helpful!
Love their Herbivor Botanicals and just about everything else there!

What a great store! I was having lunch down the street and decided to walk around the new and improved Downtown Anaheim.
At first glance Home Economics seems like it would be expensive, but its completely reasonable. It’s the perfect store if you’re looking to treat yourself or a friend.
I ended up with two adorable necklaces and couldn’t have been happier. I can’t wait to go back and buy a few more treats.

Just a short add to my review… I came here this past weekend and they’ve changed some of their merchandise. They sell this shea butter called Simpatico and I’ve been loving it!

Cute little store with a variety of fun gift-​y items (mostly for women, I must confess). Their hand-​knit clothes, handmade Christmas tree ornaments and artisan bath & body products intrigued me the most, and I picked up a tube of a really nice hand cream from Barr-​Co. I’m a knitter, so I’m always a sucker for hand creams and lotions. Stuff in here ain’t cheap, but it’s good quality stuff, so like I said, good for gift-​giving or treating oneself ;)

This place is SO cute! They sell handmade stuff from small independent places and people.
I saw a lot of cute homey stuff for the home… I ended up with a Harmonica and a handmade ring for my gf!
Loved this place! Cute. Unique. Fun.
Service:
Nice convo with Katie. She makes necklaces! Very cute!
PARKING:
Free and everywhere.

Home Economics is a hodge podge shop on Center Street in Downtown Anaheim. They sell random trinkets, offbeat stationary, cute jewelry, scarves, pet toys, picnic stuff, and a bike! The staff is always really nice and welcoming here. The interior is all made of wood, so it smells very… wood-​y. The store is always nicely conditioned, so it’s a nice retreat from the hot summer sun during a lunchtime stroll. However, the items they sell (though cute and eye-​catching), are so ridiculously priced! For instance, $ 46 for a normal beach towel, or $ 42 for a dainty morse code necklace! If you sign up for their email list, you get 15% off your order. Still, I get that rent in Downtown Anaheim is costly, and they probably have to compensate for spotty business, but you can get the same quality items at other stores for a much better price.

LOVE This place. so unique for the area and they have different price ranges so you can find something you like at any price. It’s a great store to drop in when you have a last minute gift to buy, the merchandise is definitely new and refreshing. I love to get my candles here and my boyfriend has purchased a couple really cute necklaces from here for me. The staff is the friendliest, too!

This store is adorable. Unique and reasonably priced, trendy gifts… they have inspirational items, creative, eco-​friendly… a small but good variety! the cutest kitchen items and some awesome jewelry. The manager is fabulous and the store is very fresh, I absolutely adore it. Working across the street its hard to walk by and not go in.

So many great things to say about this place. I’ve lived/​worked in Downtown Anaheim for several years and I walk the Promenade every day to work and it’s great to see new creative energy on our dowtown street. Home Economics has a collection of home goods, trinkets, candles, jewelry and other stuff that will make you say…“wow, that’s cool”. In a sea of bland big box, HE offers unique, well-​made items.
A big shout out to April! She doesn’t just provide customer service, she provides something better– a fun, social environment. She takes the time to get to know your name and find out more about you. She’s got a big smile and great personality, not to mention a lot of knowledge about the products.
The LAB is doing a great job at pumping some creative life and a «cool» factor to our downtown. I’m excited to see the Gypsy Den open and other retail and restaurants along the Promenade.

Glad to see this cute little shop in downtown Anaheim.

Cool little eco-​friendly home living store. Great if you’re looking for a thoughtful gift or picking out something unique for yourself. Great location along Anaheim’s up and coming Center Street Promenade.
