The holiday fun is not over yet: Right Tribe is holding another one of its famous "treasure hunts" on December 26 starting at noon.
The fun-loving duo of Lauren Kolodny and Johnny Flanagan, owners
of Right Tribe, will hide a variety of crystals, gems, vintage
ceramic animals, and maybe even a plant for the scavenger hunt.
The
treasures will appear in special spots across the South Bay, from Palos
Verdes to Redondo Beach, Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, and El
Segundo.
For each item hidden, Right Tribe will post a video on their Right Tribe Instagram feed.
Each video shows the item being tucked away...and then the camera pans
up to offer a brief glimpse of the surroundings, usually a recognizable
landmark.
"Johnny loves hiding treasures so much," Kolodny told MB News after the New Year's Day scavenger hunt in early 2022. "He grew up doing treasure hunts on Christmas and wanted to start a
fun new tradition for our customers and followers on Instagram."
"It is a lot of work but it is the most rewarding when we get videos of
the find, or comments from people
letting us know how much fun they had, even if they did not find a
treasure," Kolodny continued. "One mom told us that she loved the bonding time she had with her son.
She said, 'We didn't find anything but we had a blast! Thank you for
creating those moments.'"
Creating Unique Experiences
Right Tribe features a one-of-a-kind collection of curated gifts and
collectibles, geodes and crystals, and handmade leather goods. While the
gallery is tucked away in a small space on Center Place (behind
Splendid), visitors are often lured in by a wildly decorated bike that
sits across the street at the parking garage.
Right
Tribe is also known for creating unique and entertaining experiences in
its shop. Since moving to Manhattan Beach in 2016, they have earned
fans for their geode-cracking parties and (pre-pandemic) "free pie" days on Sundays with freshly baked pies.
Right Tribe is located at 328 Center Place in Manhattan Beach. For scavenger hunt updates, follow the shop on Instagram at @RightTribe
