Oh, Hello Friend

Definitely not the type of store u usually see in orange county. It’s such a cute little knick knack shop, does get a bit cramped sometimes but a little «excuse me» can fix that. Honestly it’s one of my top go-​to spots when looking for a gift :)

I’ve been a fan of Danni’s work since college back in 2008 when she would sell her products at the vendor fairs at UCI and I’ve been a loyal customer ever since. When Danni first opened up her brick and mortar in DTF, I was super excited because I knew it was the perfect opportunity for her to blend her passion for creating art with her savvy business know-​how. It’s been amazing to see how much the store has grown and how its gained so many followers over the years. Personally, I’ve found my own little sense of peace and calm every time I’ve entered its doors and whenever I’d come across a carefully crafted or artisan product that would remind me that everything would be okay and would bring the positivity back into my life. Danni, I hope that this next chapter of your life allows you to continue to do what you love in another different yet just as fulfilling capacity, if not more. I’ll miss your store but I am so happy for your next venture.

Oooooh! The wants-​to-​be-​super-​crafty person in me loves this place so much. There’s a good amount of inspiration that you can get from this small store, and there’s just this mood/​tone of relaxation and mellowness that you can feel when you walk in.
Located in downtown Fullerton, hubby and I would normally park in the parking structure near/​behind Night Owl. Oh, Hello Friend is basically a block down/​right around the corner.
Oh, Hello Friend, has anything a creative person could want. Books, journals, small decorative pieces, small tinkering items to be used for bigger projects, do-​it-​yourself flower bouquets (real flowers!), scented candles, posters, inspirational signs, stationary, cards, etc. There’s a bunch of stuff that you would buy in a heartbeat in a place like this if you are open-​minded on what the purpose could be for.
Price-​wise, it’s okay. It’s probably on par with Papersource prices, though Papersource is, of course, completely commercialized. But, I really do like how they grab creativity in different realms; it’s up to you to really create it for something for yourself.
Service has never been an issue. Even the clientele hasn’t ever really been an issue with me.
Will be back.

I walked in here on a whim, after having lunch and walking the downtown district. Didn’t know what it was but out of curiosity, walked in with my friend seeing a big sign «OHF.»
As soon as I walked in, I felt just at home. The environment was totally my style, music was indie and soft, the merchandise was a bit on the pricey end but totally understandable because they are «hard to find» items.
The workers are extremely cheerful and helpful! I favorited this store right away, even while in the store. I saw a lot of Christian related merchandise including bible verses and encouraging items so I questioned the cashier if the owner was Christian and she said that they were.
There is no flaw about this store.

Oh, Hello Friend… oh hello, you and all your adorable, cute, beautiful things. This is the place to go for gifts and/​or whenever you want to treat yo self to something nice. It’s a little expensive (you know, like $ 5 for a letter pressed card.), but how can you say no to beautiful calligraphy?
(9÷100)

A great gem in the heart of Downtown Fullerton. Super cute, trendy, and houses so many cool handmade knick-​knacks and drool-​worthy pieces.
They sell stationary, jewelry, clothes and housewares. EVERYTHING is Pinterest worthy.
Workshops are offered here on a monthly basis that offer a variety of crafts. I’ve taken a couple and they are awesome. The workshops cover everything from calligraphy to making paper flowers. Prices for the workshops are from $ 35 to 100+
The staff is very sweet and I cannot say enough good things about how much I *heart* this store.
OHF, keep on being rad.

Super cute store! If you’re looking for a gift for a girlfriend or your best friend, this is the place to go. There’s cute stationary, posters, books, wrapping paper, and other knick knacks similar to the stuff you find in Urban Outfitters. They also offer DIY classes in the room right next to it!

Oh, Hello Friend! Why do you have to look so cute, instagram-​worthy, pinterestic, and etsy-​looking?
What I love about this place is the decorations that can become so artistically good and cute at the same time. The crafted greeting cards are awesome to look at, the motivating signs in poster form are very helpful and «exactly where you need to be», the other items such as mugs, vintage keys, wooden gift tags, dried flowers, wonderful books, adorable stationary, succulent decorations are creatively made to be used, making me want to get them all.
Unfortunately, Oh, Hello Friend is an hour drive away from home so the distance is pretty far. However, if I am back in the Fullerton area to get a couple of cute presents for somebody’s birthday, Christmas, or any other occasion, I would definitely come back here.

I kind of feel like this place has everything and nothing at the same time.
I know that doesn’t make sense, but if you go here you might get what I mean.
I wanted to get some unique «etsy-​style» presents for my friend’s birthday and I had this place bookmarked for a long time, so I decided to check it out.
They sell a ton of unique trinkets, but I had a hard time finding enough to make a cohesive present. I think my favorite was the bins in the back with random little knick-​knacks. but none of them really served a purpose. I found a little flamingo fold out toothpick that was cool. but whatchu gonna do with that?
Maybe I’m not creative enough.
Maybe I’m just getting old :’(
They do have some awesome cards and notepaper. but I want more «gift-​y» type stuff.
Obviously I liked this place a lot– thus the four stars. I just wanted so much more that would give it that fifth star.
The super cool thing is that they have art classes… probably to use all these random things I couldnt decide what to do with. Maybe then I’ll understand more…
hmmmmm…
Anyway, I love supporting cute local businesses like this. The girls at the counter were super friendly and chatty. and I love all this crafty stuff!
Can someone just tell this old timer non-​hipster what to do with it all??? I want it all but I dont know what to use it for ;)

My favorite store.
I came here for the first time a little over a year ago with a close friend & discovered a gem. Been back several times since & it’s always worth the hour drive. I am such a huge fan of stationary & one of my favorite hobbies is the art of gifting creatively, so when I come to Oh, Hello Friend, it’s like heaven! This adorable store has everything from eclectic cards, to quirky T-​shirts, envelope sealing wax, (a personal favorite) dainty minimalist jewelry, vintage keys, apothecary jars, dried flowers, endearing books, locally made soy candles, even scrabble letters. I once found a postcard made of wood that a friend on the East Coast loved! Every time I go I find something new & different.
I haven’t even mentioned yet that they offer workshops! They have calligraphy classes, DIY candle-​making, letter writing socials, even making paper succulents. I haven’t taken one of these classes yet, but I certainly plan on driving down someday soon for one.
Overall, the entire concept for this store & business is brilliant. The customer service is always wonderful, the atmosphere gives off an Anthropologie-​like vibe, (& who doesn’t love that?) & the things that I find are priceless. It’s always worth stopping in to see what’s new. A great place to take friends or family if you’re adventuring or in town! Oh, Hello Friend certainly has a special place in my heart. Especially because of their positively perfect cards for every occasion!

I’ve never been in a store quite like this before. That I was absolutely IN LOVE with. If I could make this my home, I would. The décor was soo ridiculously perfect and cute! I wanted everything! From stationary and décor… I spent the better portion of an hour just taking everything in and looking at all the different items they had here. Trying to resist from buying it all was the hardest part! I like the set up, how half the store is actually their «classroom» workshop type area where you can let those creative energies flow and learn how to do things like calligraphy, watercolor, hand lettering, and other crafts. I will definitely have to take one of their classes someday. Until then…

I couldnt stop gasping right as I got inside the store. Everything was so cute and pretty.
I wanted to buy everything I saw.
Perfect place to visit if youre trying to have a pinterest themed party~
Also, if youre looking for the cutest 2015 – 2016 planner, you should definitely check this place out!

They support local artists! Enough said.
They sell stationary, cards, soaps, etc that are really cute and adorable but extremely overpriced. The money probably does support local artists for their artwork, but $ 5 for a card? :-/​Iono.
They have jewelry as well, some cute, but looking rather cheap. There were a bunch of things that I wanted to get, but for the price and the look, it wasn’t worth getting it there. Yes I’m bad :(
I got my friends their 21^st Birthday cards here, so I hope they enjoy it. If not, this rating is gonna go lower: P kidding!
If you feel like getting something that you know isn’t out there at Target or whatnot, come here, get something unique, and repeat.

There are just some stores where the minute you walk in, you think «I WANT TO BUY EVERTHINGGGGG!» This is one of those :)
It’s a super cute space full of home décor, stationary, jewelry, and little knick knacks that are just so quirky and cute. It’s like Etsy in a store! They even host classes, which is really cool. They have a great selection of air plants and I picked up a couple (along with a few other things lol). Go check it out!

I love this place! Everything in the store is super cute and I want to take everything home with me! We like to come here to purchase small gifts and paper goods. They have cute standard wax seal stamps. I bought my friend one with a little cappuccino cup and it’s so cute!
We also came last Friday for the Letter Writing Social and it was really neat! They had all these stamps, stickers, washi tape, etc. for us to use and I literally spent the entire time decorating envelopes and cards but only got through 4 of the 6 cards included in our bag. And we thought the bag was going to be a little more substantial but it was just a paper bag.
I’m giving it 4 stars because when they said they would have refreshments and snacks at the Letter Writing Social I was expecting a little more than just water. And because I feel like the merchandise is a little on the pricey side. But other than that, it’s a great little gem!

MY NEW FAVORITE STORE.
First timer here, and I fell in love.
They have the cutest little trinkets and decorative items and I seriously can’t wait to go back! A bit pricey, but the store is cute, and everything in it is absolutely adorable. Very etsy/​pinterest-​y :)
The girl working there was also very helpful and friendly! Great for vintage gifts shopping or just for eye-​shopping too ;)

Calling all darling, feminine, hipsters out there!
Okay… There is definitely a reason for all these stars.
Oh, hello friend is the perfect, insta-​friendly gift shop/​studio that looks like it’s straight out of pinterest.
They have the shop divided into to parts — an area for classes + events they hold and the shop!
They hold classes for all types of DIY and artistic skills, such as weaving and modern calligraphy. If I lived closer to Fullerton, I would definitely love to take some of the classes.
The shop is just pure bliss. Everything you can think of – from candles, to stationary, dried flowers, and decals… They have it all. Every single section of the store is perfectly set up to be insta-​worthy and I’m not gonna lie… I was squealing inside due to the urge to buy everything…
All stationary, typography, darling nerds out there… I’m warning you. This place is do you damage. Haha
I’ll definitely find my way back if I’m in the area… Actually, it’ll probably be my reason for driving the distance, but what can I say… They’ve done a fantastic job at creating a beautiful space!

Love this place. It’s the best for gifts (to others but also yourself)! The girls working there are always so sweet and I always want to visit whenever I’m in town!
The only downside is that things are a little expensive. The quality is great but you always have to be willing to pay a pretty penny for them (i.e. $ 5 for a cute card).
Come check them out if you love crafts, stationary, etsy and that vintage-​y/​hip vibe– visit!

I rarely write Unilocal reviews for anything besides food/​drink. So I definitely must love this little unique shop. It’s the sort of place a person can stay and peruse for a while, discovering new items with every visit.
Not to mention that the shop also offers a variety of classes, from calligraphy to flower bouquet making.
It’s just a stinkin’ cute place

This review is for the Beginner’s Hand Lettering class held inside the store and taught by Nicole Miyuki.
The class costs $ 95 dollars and lasts 2 hours. There were about 20 of us in the class. For this particular class we were supplied with 2 specialty pens, a pad of paper made especially for the Copic sketch pen, and a few instruction pages. In my opinion, the price was fair because Nicole is highly skilled at hand lettering and is a kind and helpful instructor. As you can see in the photo, the table setup was very thoughtful and cute. The leaves and flowers gave the table its finishing touches.
Nicole performed a group demonstration at the beginning of the class. For the rest of the time she provided individual instruction because hand lettering is about developing a personal style. Her example sheets were highly helpful, as we traced them in the beginning to get the hang of the style and how to hold the pen. I found hand lettering to be hard! But I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the class. I would take another class by Nicole in a heartbeat. She has an approachable demeanor and wonderful artistic skills.
After the class we were supplied with a 10% discount card to use in the store, good for that day only. The store is stocked with numerous cards, stationary, candles, etc which all have the handmade feel to them. If you’re looking for specialty and crafty cards, I am sure you can find something pleasing here. If you get a chance, definitely check out one of the workshops they offer! The schedule can be found on their website.
