Luminata Books & Gifts — Local services in Monterey

Terrific experience! Highly recommend this bookstore, to call it a bookstore is an underrating for sure. If you go in, and truly receive what is there to be offered to you, you will be amazed. enjoyed the singing bowls while I was there. Leslie played them for me, and I played them as well. I walked away with a wonderful book on fermenting, a beautiful little ring as a keepsake for my visit to Monterey and an experience that I cannot begin to put into words. A truly emotionally healing moment as I met two random shoppers while in there with Leslie. I will definitely be going back every time I am...

My favorite shopping experience during our trip to the coast was at this store! My family really enjoyed it too! They were so nice and helpful. I was really happy with all the different items in this store. I bought a beautiful book some great smelling sage, an equally great bottle of lavender spray, a tiny music box (the shop owner told me she had just ordered even more!) a ring, a few gemstones and crystals, and a journal.

Nice selection of Tibetan singing bowls too! Lovely to play them in the store. 100% chance I'm visiting Luminata Books and Gifts again the next time...

If you are in the area take time to peek inside. Beware, you'll spend at least and hour if you are into books, cards, calendars, stones, crystals, spirituality, candles, jewelry, journals, and so much more. Always have cute window displays, soft music playing in the store while browsing that allows you to relax, and something for everybody in the store. I enjoy going here and engaging with the staff, amazing people selling amazing things. Go see...
