Daiso - Japanese Household Goods — Local services in Miami Gardens

We FINALLY got a Daiso in South Florida!!! Located specifically in Miami Gardens area. Yesssss. Every year we head out to Los Angeles to visit family and friends, and Daiso is usually on the list of places to stop into while we’re out west. They have about 6500 locations worldwide with 4600 Daiso stores in Japan alone.

Daiso is a Japanese discount store that sells so many items such as the following:

• Kitchen • Beauty • Stationary • Storage • DIY Supplies • Asian Snacks • Fake Plants • Greeting Cards • Arts & Crafts • Pet Items • Beverages • Bags • Stickers • Stuffed Animals • Notebooks • Socks • Slippers • AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

They offer these cool finds at an affordable price. I love going mainly for the cute Sanrio brand items at a great price. They have characters such as Hello Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody, Tuxedo Sam, Little Twin Stars, Kuromi, Keroppi and more. I love the stationary options!

My favorite find here is usually the magnetic bookmarks they sell for maybe five dollars and you can find at Barnes & Noble or other retailers for $10 and up. I collect but I also share with my book loving friends. Magnetic bookmarks are the best!

Came here a few weeks after their initial grand opening so it wasn’t super crowded. Got some good finds including a black Earthen Pot usually used for bibimbap. Like a ceramic pot. Also found snacks, stickers, small kitchen serving dishes and a few other things. I was good and didn’t spend that much money.

The line was a bit long when we went to check out but they had regular cashiers on one side and self checkout registers on another side. I’m all about the self checkout as I feel it’s quite efficient. Nice spot. Check it out if you’re...

My mom and I went to Daiso. Yay? She’s been waiting years to shop here after watching countless videos and hoping one would finally open nearby for years so this was a really special moment for her. Unfortunately, our experience was soured by one cashier’s attitude.

I understand it’s a busy opening and employees are dealing with constant crowds, but if you’re going to sigh, roll your eyes, and act annoyed when customers are just trying to check out, it completely ruins the experience. My mom was so excited, and instead of kindness she got rudeness. Honestly, if it’s that overwhelming, take a break or go home working six hours in air conditioning checking out small Japanese products is not the end of the world. I work twelve hours in the hot sun and still manage to keep myself together and still give my customers a great smile and experience.

And to fellow shoppers: please be considerate, especially toward older people. Stop blocking aisles for TikToks or standing around without moving. Have some manners and let everyone enjoy the store.

Daiso opening here should be exciting and fun, not stressful and sour. I really hope future visits feel more positive for both...

Daiso is a Japanese discount store founded in 1977 in Japan by Hirotake Yano. Daiso has grown to 3,620 stores in Japan, and nearly 2,300 all over the world.

This store opened today in Miami Gardens in Gardens Promenade. If you shop today and tomorrow and spend a minimum of $20, you can get a free tote bag.

I have become a Daiso fan from numerous Instagram posts and was eagerly awaiting for a store to open locally. The line was extremely long both to get in and then to check out so I recommend waiting until the hype dies down a bit but if you like discount shopping this store is worth a visit. Prices range from $2.25 to $18. This store reminds me of a Five Below or a MINISO. They have a lot of cute things including Disney items. I especially love their Halloween and snack sections. I have my eye on a few things once the...
