I went in searching for a gift for a 5 yo and had no clue what I wanted to get. The woman behind the counter was very helpful in pointing out a variety of potential options and then gave me time and space to browse. I love that they carry some clothing and books that are more local to LA, which made the gifts feel more unique and personal in a way. I would also much rather support local shops than massive e-commerce companies. So, I'll be doing more gift shopping here in the future!

When you're seeking clothes, toys and gifts for kids and babies, I recommend that you make this…read moreyour first stop. It will likely be your last, because they have a stellar selection of kids toys (many great for childhood development and fun) and the cutest kids clothes. You can save yourself hours at a mall or one of those nasty chains you probably don't want to go to. I recently went in there and came out with a several gifts, all in about 30 minutes. The customer service is top notch - they're friendly, know their products, and can give good advice on what to pick based on your needs, and the kids' ages/interests. For winter holidays, they have both Christmas and Hanukkah themed gifts (clothes, pajamas, knitwear). They carry Mini Rodini, one of my favorite kids brands. They get bonus points for being well staffed - having enough staff to give 1:1 help to customers even during the holiday rush. Great hours, they open early enough that you can grab a gift before brunch or whatever else you have going on for the day. These people are a godsend. I'm rating this best kids store in L.A.

(Once Amazon saved the day and delivered it to her door while my nephew was opening his presents.) I honestly have no clue where to buy toys for kids. Target is always a hassle, so I was thrilled when I stumbled upon Shop Merci Milo while walking around my neighborhood. This charming store is located inside a converted garage. It's adorable and resembles the ideal playroom. The owner did a great job of creating a welcome environment for children. The shop is organized and you'll find toys from around the world, books, clothing, shoes, accessories, and unique gifts. They even have educational toys, which I prefer to give. I'm so glad I discovered this place. Now I don't have to stress out when I need a present at the last minute. *Online ordering also available shopmercimilo.com *Residential street parking.

They take the time to help me find the right sizes and always offer thoughtful suggestions on what to buy. Today's visit to the Sherman Oaks location was especially memorable. From the moment I walked in, both team members Hermine and Elen greeted me with warm smiles and immediately offered their assistance. While I was shopping, they surprised me by making Armenian coffee and setting up a small dessert table with fruits and cookies after noticing I had been shopping for a while and carrying heavy bags. Their kindness and attentiveness truly touched my heart. I am incredibly thankful to Hermine and Elen for their outstanding customer service and genuine care for their customers. I would like to wish the entire team a Merry Christmas and thank you for always being the best.
