Miniso

Visited this store on New Year’s Day and was so excited to shop around. The store is extremely cute and was very stocked with several of the same items. They had so much pink Barbie stuff, hello kitty, Winnie the Pooh, Snoopy, other Sanrio items. I ended up purchasing several things. All of the things I got are very high quality and very reasonably priced too. This store is a girly girls heaven. I’m so happy I got the chance to shop in it.

Compared to other locations, this miniso is relatively bigger but also more crowded. It’s normal though considering the location. I love how well organized everything is! The items here are indeed often pricey but that’s to be expected since it’s miniso. Usually price tags are easy to miss but often they’re on the shelf somewhere rather than on tags.

The store has a good variety of items, for all preferences. Since makeup, accessories, keychains, plushes, organizers, among others. The price are a little elevated, but I would say that it is normal for being NYC. The Disney stickers were cheap, and I bought a nice travel bag of Snoopy for a very good price. The attention was kind. I went during a weekday around noon, and there were not so many people.

Passed by on a weekday before noon, so it was not crowded at all. Contrary to the other reviews I've read, security was not present when I was there. This Miniso location is as big as the one in Flushing, possibly even bigger. Cute place, but expensive as such. I purchased a Plus-Plus Crab (~$8) as a gift. The employees I interacted with were all friendly. However, it's disheartening to read testimonials from former workers and customer reviews about their observations of management's behavior towards employees below.

The store is large, bright, cute, and over the top. I wouldn't go out of my way for it, but it's something to see if you're stuck in the area. This Miniso has many cute things, toys, and trinkets. They even sell a couple of snacks and soft drinks. Every inch of real estate is overflowing with products to buy. There is a lot of everything, to the point its overwhelming (ie: 10 versions of characters on identical hairbrushes; 7 cup styles for 1 character; the same toothbrush in various colors. I was excited to explore the store until it became anxiety-inducing. The lines are long, most items do not have a price labeled and there are very few signs with prices. There are also no price scanners, so you basically have to haul everything you liked to the register even if you didn't want to spend $14 on cotton swabs. There are even long lines for self-checkout. :: *PARENTS* :: -- please note, most aisles are stocked from the floor up, meaning that products are at eye-level and within reach for all children. Even a toddler can reach out to grab things they want. Please keep an eye on them and discuss purchases ahead of time. Otherwise you might easily spend $2,000 at the register. The tiny objects add up $$ (kind of like at Target). The signs with prices are nondescript and placed in areas where it is not 100% clear which item costs that amount. Some people were surprised at the register to discover some items were much pricier than the $6.99 sign above/next to it. I went later in the evening (around 9 pm) so the store was full, but not packed. It is probably filled to capacity with visitors during peak day. Expect to spend over an hour here, and enjoy the photo opportunities with Hello Kitty themes.
