We found a vase in super light glass, which is actually a carafe, made by Zodax. Love it. There are of course candles, I think every gift store has those. But also art that's interesting, sculpture that is quite a talking point and some very fun and handy kitchen gadgets. They also have jewelry at reasonable prices. And great desk boxes, they can hold pens, cards, paper clips etc. You get the idea, different sizes and shapes. Well worth a visit for a gift, for you or someone else. Street parking.

When we visited on a Sunday afternoon, half of the back area was sectioned off so there wasn't a whole lot of items to browse. I'm under a tight budget so the prices here didn't appeal to me, but they were overall pretty reasonable. And it's great that the items weren't trendy items semi-massed produced that's sold under the guise of a gift shop trying to make it appear unique or local ish. You know what I mean?! The hubs actually surprised me because he ended up with some Feelgoodz house slippers. He loves online shopping more than being in-person at a store. So after he kept examining a pair of slippers and looking at prices online, he said he'd take 'em. I guess he went for a functional item. I've never encountered a whole store with fair trade items (not that I can remember) so running into this one was really cool. If we are to be consumers in this world, why not make it count a bit.

They offer products that are made from ethical and renewable sources and have changed my life; I want work towards creating zero-waste. I wanted to purchase quite a few items but: #onabudget and I was also traveling and had to ensure everything I did buy could fit into my suitcase. SO, I opted for some reusable/washable "paper" towels, an eco dryer ball from friendsheep, and the very wonderful Poppy & Pout Island Coconut lip balm. I know Little Salmon offers free delivery within a 10-mile radius of their shop in the Elmwood Village and that I can also purchase online but they've inspired me to find a sustainable/zero waste store in Los Angeles and I cannot wait to continue to work towards an incredible lifestyle. Thank you, Little Salmon, for your incredible mission and all that you do!

They have such the cutest items that represents the city and the area. I loved my time here. Came here another time since I checked in. Their selection ranges from commemorative license plates to teddy bears to socks to newborn items to flasks. Truly everything for everyone. Although it's an artisan store and the prices are typically higher in these settings, I found a number of items so unique and cool that the price which was slightly high, felt worth it. There was only one person working and they were busy handling a bunch of customers, inventory, and other duties. They were buzzing around but super efficient and friendly.
