    Front of Just Tantau - a little back from West Adams. You can't see it when you are driving, but it's there!

    This my best find of 2017 so far. It's the cutest store - was located on Abbot Kinney for 32 years, but now located on West Adams. Carol, the owner is the nicest and most helpful store owner I have ever met. She is not pushy at all - you don't feel that looming pressure. She feels like an old friend. I came in looking for gifts for friends, but you could also come here to fill your home with the most unique collectibles from artists all over, or find the most unique jewelry. There is nothing you will see in here anywhere else! Some of her art decor is imported from the artists themselves such as her African Masks. She has a gorgeous patio out front where she has provided yoga for anyone who wants to join - its right next to a community of brightly colored shipping containers where other small businesses operate such as an organic vegetable market. It's such a gem!

    This unique store has closed as of January 7 due to the untimely passing of owner Carol Tantau. She and her store will be missed.

    A charming place with a one woman owner. Unique jewelry, fun AND you can fix your own jewelry with Carol's help. Don't miss it.

    You might miss the large coffee cup set high in the air, but do look for Carol's red arrow closer to eye level.

    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.

    I called Miracle Mile Toys & Gifts to ask about their inventory, but before I could even finish my…read moresentence, I was repeatedly cut off. The person on the phone came across as very rude, and it left a bad impression. It only takes a minute to let someone finish speaking, and this experience makes me worry about how customers are treated in person. Unfortunately, I'm now here leaving a negative review because of how poorly the call was handled.

Now I don't usually bring other people's reviews into my own, but...Did someone really give 1 star because they bought what they thought was the real Stanley Cup? ^_^ Well, you won't find stuff like that here. It's all gifts and cute stuff, fun things and just an adorable-ness overload with some anime and Kpop stuff thrown in. I'm 100 years old and my friends & I loved Mashimaro when we were little! I was SO happy to see a black and gray Mashimaro tote in the store. It was overpriced at $80, as are most things in here, but it's not absolutely terrible pricing. I mean it's vintage at this point, lol. In general, the pricing here isn't quite as bad as you'd think within a mall. The store is overpacked with items squeezed in to maximize the small store space. I think the merchandise may have been upgraded since reviews from several years ago because I didn't see anything that was not decent to high quality. I'll definitely shop here again.
