Editorial Review for Pulp – by Stephanie Scherer

In Short
This South La Brea store highlights funky gifts, offbeat office supplies and cards for every imaginable human activity, while also devoting attention to gift-wrapping necessities like paper, boxes and ribbons. The assortment of greeting cards, most of which defy Hallmark appearance and sentiment, make it clear that this shop goes against the emotional grain. Quirky gifts like "walking, sparking NunZilla" wind-up toys stand shoulder-to-shoulder with enticing journals, day planners, parchment, stickers, calendars and invitations.

just stay off your cell phone...you are the kind of person that doesn't need to be in the store anyway and by the way they don't need your business. A bit self important aren't you?

Pros: they have a wonderful helpful staff that promotes a quality atmosphere

Rising far above all the card shops I’ve ever been to is Pulp. Here’s three reasons why you should run, don’t walk, but run to this cool shop: (1) The card walls are lined with hilarious, original cards for all occasions that really make you laugh out loud. I mean, some really funny cards. I also bought holiday gifts this year for my entire office staff – really cool stuff that was reasonable priced. (2) It ain’t in a mall, kids. It’s on the street with parking in the rear; no damn parking structure to deal with. (3) Not sure how they keep their staff happy but boy-o- boy are they nice and helpful. I bought a really funny card about a week ago. It was so funny that a friend asked me to pick one up for him. I went back to Pulp and of course, that card was sold out - they continually put out new cards, it’s why I go there so often – but at the register I told the cashier my story. He actually went into the back and found the one remaining card I had originally come in for. Oh, and I’m guilty of going to Pulp almost every Saturday morning. I don’t always buy something - I go just so I can get a good laugh.
