Hot Stuff
Shops · Long Beach, CA
About
A first-time visitor walks into a riot of color and kitsch. Hot Stuff packs every shelf with cards, candles, collectibles, and sundries, all with a playful, campy edge. It's the kind of place where you can find a gag gift, a tasteful candle, or a cheeky card for any occasion. The shop is gay-owned and feels like a neighborhood staple, not a tourist trap.
Located on E. Broadway, it sits between Star of Siam Thai Cuisine and two spots up from Hot Java. The vibe is casual and unpretentious. If you're looking for high-end luxury goods, this isn't your spot. But for affordable, fun finds, it delivers. Visit on a weekend afternoon when the neighborhood is buzzing.

“I Want More”
Hot Stuff fills a necessary gap in the neighborhood. The E. Broadway location is great. It's right next to Star of Siam Thai Cuisine, and two doors down is Hot Java. So basically everything around here has "hot" in its name. What Hot Stuff lacks are upscale items like the ones you'd find at Luna.
