The store is filled with anime figurines, kawaii items, K-pop merch, stationery, and so many adorable finds. She picked out a super cute hat with ears that actually move, which was a huge hit. Everyone working there was very nice and helpful, and the shop itself was clean, bright, and well organized. I'd absolutely recommend this spot to anyone who loves anime, kawaii culture, or just really cute things. We'll definitely be back!

I recently got the chance to check out the Toy Nest's updated digs last week and had a great time!…read more We did a drop-in play session for $12 which was the perfect after-school activity on a rainy day. We went with a group of three-year olds and they were ecstatic for an opportunity to check out new toys and get some energy out on a dreary day. They had a little something for everyone: ride on toys, baby dolls, sports equiptment, and all of the little blocks/gadgets a child could every want. The costume rack was also a favorite with characters ranging from superheroes, construction workers, to princesses. I love how this spot fills many different needs in the community: a third place for families to convene, eco-friendly way to get rid of all toys, and an affordable place to try out new toys and teach your child about responsibility and sharing. This woman owned business is the absolute best.

I will post pictures and provide a more detailed review later. This gift shop is McLean's best kept secret. This is one of my favorite gift shops in the Washington, DC area. It is the place to go to for ANYTHING PERSONALIZED. They know literally everything there is to know about monogram etiquette and overall personalization (they will even tell you cool/ different places to monogram so you're not like everyone else). The store is beautiful - they have something for everyone. Guys - don't be discouraged by the name. There are gifts for men too - flasks, valets, things that will really be treasured.

This is the BEST little GEM in the heart of McLean. You can…read morefind the perfect gift for just about anyone on you shopping list, from newly grads to grandparents or Host' favours, what a FUN store!

We stopped by just as they were pulling down the gates to closed for the night…read more This place is just full of cute plushies and various toys. They range from Winnie the Pooh to Ninja turtles to Sonic. Also they come in different shapes and sizes, including backpacks. We came here one time before but unfortunately the entire Mall was closed at that time. Luckily we were able to come by this time. They are a little pricey, some of the plush animals were starting at $20+. I guess since they can be considered collectibles, the price is reasonable? I'm not sure if he was a manager, but he was super nice for letting us in. Also very friendly when he was ringing us up. This is located in the mall on the upper level across from the food court. Would I return? Absolutely.

The new shop is smaller and more cozy than the old space. As of mid-2021, it seems like the store is still in the process of becoming homey and curated the way the old one was. But they still had exactly what I came in for--chalk paint. The wood block swatches and the chalk painted furniture in the store makes this a great place to find what you're looking for. I'm also a fan of the cards and paper products here. There always seems to be a little something that catches my eye. Stylish Patina is a great store for the DIY lover or the person looking for unique home decor and gifts.
