It's giving Paper Source Vibes, but is unique because it's locally owned. I went to find a gift for someone and ended up buying a gift for myself because I have no self-control when it comes to cute things. So when I saw the Punch the Monkey sticker I had to buy it and I stand by that decision.

Very nice gift shop. Has everything that you could get for a person.

We bought our Felix the Cat clock here as well as many other birthday/holiday gifts for our friends and family. There isn't another store like it and the owner works so hard to make her shop a friendly and fun place to be in. You'll find things you never knew you needed or maybe even something that makes you smile or laugh. Love Pygmy Hippo forever!

What an amazing new addition to West Adams. I had no clue this place existed until they hosted a…read morelocal women's event at Holy Ground The front part of the shop has decorative items as well as seasonings, candles, and so on. What I was shocked about was that there was a bookstore in the second room behind the shop. It was beautiful with gorgeous art on the wall and a very inviting space to chill, relax and take the environment. Then I noticed an outdoor space behind the bookstore. What a relaxing space to grab a book and take a seat. If you live in a neighborhood, you definitely should stop by to check out this beautiful space. If you are in need of a last-minute gift for a birthday, a housewarming or you just love to cook or read, stop by! Parking a street parking, don't let the neighborhood scare you off. I feel it to be safe and is improving every day.

The selection of items is so unique and special; I buy all my gifts here and the recipients are always blown away by the creativity of the gifts and also the AMAZING GIFT WRAPPING (I apologize for likely being the source of my paper cuts). OK the Store is a true godsend and we are all so lucky to live in a world where such a gem exists.

Miracle Mile Toys & Gifts is a neighborhood toy store that mostly sells toys for babies and kids…read more Visitors will find toys like puzzles, stuffed animals, toy trains, Perfect Petzzz, wooden toys from Plan Toys and Tender Leaf, dolls, BRIO trains, etc. This is the shop for parents who are looking for quality toys and are not overly worried about price tags. P.S. - Metered parking only, but this part of Miracle Mile is not very busy so I had no issue finding an available spot on Saturday afternoon.

This is a late, but important review! We were invited to my child's classmate's birthday party in…read moreearly October. We didn't know the family or child well, only that he was turning four and has an older brother. I purposely wanted to shop local and support an independent business, and a quick search on Yelp led me here. We arrived about an hour before closing on Saturday, which was great because parking meters end at 4pm and we found parking out front easily. We were greeted by an employee behind the desk as we walked in. She asked if there was anything she could help us find, and I let her know we were first time customers looking for a birthday gift with the details mentioned above. She let us know the layout of the store, her suggestions, but let us look freely. Over time more customers arrived with small children, and received the same courteous service. The store is clean and curated. I appreciated seeing well made toys and items inspiring imaginative play, rather than cheap plastic with distracting lights or sounds. I eventually chose a doctor play set as well as some items for my own children, such as animal figures and stamp markers. They offer free gift wrapping, which is a nice touch. The one alarming fact that stood out is that there were many empty storefronts on their block, so it's more important than ever to support our local economy. Their prices reflect investment in well made items, so I would not come here expecting big box store deals. In a world full of Target and Amazon, I would rather spend my money supporting a local, independent business. We had a great experience here and will definitely be back with our kids this holiday season.
