Shout and About in Echo Park is truly one of those places you don't stumble upon by accident, you find it when you're meant to. A literal little hole in the wall, tucked away and unassuming, the kind of hidden gem that reminds you why small neighborhood shops matter so much. From the moment you walk in, the energy shifts. The space immediately feels tranquil, peaceful, and intimate. Soft lighting, neutral tones, and thoughtfully styled shelves create a calm, almost meditative atmosphere. Nothing feels rushed or overwhelming. Every corner feels intentional, from the clean, minimalist shelving lined with beautifully illustrated greeting cards, to the curated displays of candles, gifts, children's items, art prints, and thoughtful little objects you didn't know you needed until you saw them. I came in with a very specific mission, to find a Valentine's card, but not the overly romantic, cliché kind. I was looking for something that simply said, "I choose you." Subtle, meaningful, timeless. I narrowed it down to five cards, each with its own charm, clever illustration, or heartfelt message. That's when Savanna stepped in, and honestly, she made the experience. Savanna is the definition of exceptional customer service. Patient, warm, and genuinely present, she has an incredible ability to match your energy without overpowering it. She listened, asked the right questions, and helped guide the decision without ever making it feel forced. You could tell she truly knows the products and understands the intention behind them. The card she helped me choose felt right, like it was meant to be picked. The shop itself is spotless and beautifully organized. The card wall is a standout, rows of unique designs, playful illustrations, modern typography, and artful sentiments that feel personal rather than mass produced. Beyond cards, the photos show how carefully curated everything is, cozy candles with clean packaging, tasteful home goods, children's books and toys arranged with care, soft textiles, and charming little gifts that make perfect "just because" finds. Nothing feels cluttered, everything has space to breathe. There's a sense of calm confidence in this shop, it doesn't need to shout to get your attention. It invites you in quietly, lets you take your time, and leaves you feeling lighter when you walk out. Shout and About isn't just a store, it's an experience. One rooted in intention, warmth, and genuine human connection. If you're in Echo Park and appreciate thoughtful design, meaningful gifts, and service that feels truly personal, this place is absolutely worth seeking out. Hidden like all gems are, but unforgettable once you find it. read more

Shout and About is a small boutique shop located in Echo Park that sells various gifts and greeting cards. This is the flagship shop opened in 2015 and there are currently three brick-and-mortar locations in Echo Park, Carlsbad, and Encinitas. [Parking]: Parking is very difficult in this part of town. I got really lucky and found a residential street spot on Grafton St. [Merchandise]: The shop offers many cute gifts including home goods, scented candles, tote bags, and a section with items for children and babies such as children's books and random animal plushies. I like some of their greeting card designs, but there is not much of a stationery selection. There is also a mini print vending machine at the front entrance. [Conclusion]: I am not sure whether I would drive out of my way just to shop for gifts here as there are too many random items. It would be nicer if the shop focused on a more specific niche category rather than being a jack-of-all-trades gift store. read more

A cute little gift shop in Silverlake. We went on Stationery Store day. There was a variety of cute items.

Located on Echo Park Avenue, among a little cluster of shops and cafés, Shout and About is a cute little gift shop with an emphasis on young children. In this tiny shop there are the typical things you'd expect in a Los Angeles area gift store: funny cards, scented candles, stationary, bags, stuffed animals and the like. However, I will say that they had some interesting items that I don't see nearly as often. For example, they had taper candles in multiple sizes and colors. As I said, this places definitely has en emphasis on kids. There are baby clothes, stickers, toys and the like. The prices are about typical of such stores: not cheap, but not outrageous either. The clerk on duty was pleasant and helpful. A sweet place to stop by, especially for gifts for young children. read more

I enjoyed stopping by this little gift shop in Echo Park. I was on the hunt for a birthday card for my boyfriend and found just the thing - echoing other reviewers, this place would be great if you're looking for a generic gift, although I'll say it was more of a feminine leaning store in its goods. It's very small and I wish that their offering was a bit more unique, I felt like there wasn't anything that really wowed me. There also isn't a lot of stationary. That being said, the stuff was super friendly, the prices were reasonable, and it's in a good location. I would return to buy another card! read more

I recently shopped at Shout and About. I came across their shop in Yelp while was doing Christmas shopping. It is a small store so it is hard to find at first, and parking is also quite challenging. I was greeted by a warm welcome by the person working there. I was overjoyed by all the cute gifts I can find. Though it was kinda pricy. I was short in time so I had to hurry. I did not really take my time to go through everything. Then when I was checking out she was able to wrap the gift in short amount of time. Definitely a store to go back to. (P.S. It is not the store's fault if u can't find a parking :) ) read more

Super cute!! Love the items and the way everything is displayed. I didn't get to purchase anything, but they had bath and body items, cbd infused things, cards, Nic knacks, stuffed toys, pens. If you're looking for an interesting gift then come here! read more

I LIVE for a good gift shop!!! I was strolling around in the neighborhood & the window display of this shop caught my eye! They have a little bit of everything here. iPhone cases, bags, journals, planners, art, wrapping paper, cards, etc!! This is a girly girl's heaven with just the right amount of cute (you won't be annoyed or nauseated by the amount of cute here). I walked away with a very reasonably priced watercolor pastel painting with the frame (under $40!!), a planner, a book and some cards. It made my day! ;-D The customer service was great! A great place for unique gift ideas! read more

The CUTEST shop that has ever existed. It is so tastefully curated and beautifully organized. From adorable home-goods to irresistible party items to the most enchanting cards -- this place is definitely one of my new favorite spots in LA. It's a tiny store, but there is so much to look at and so much to discover. Including: jewelry, artwork, potted succulents, notebooks/planners, candles/fragrances, gift wrapping, bags, dish ware, kitchen items, tea towels -- the list goes on. It's not the cheapest of stores, but the prices were to be expected. It would be the perfect place to go if you needed a special something or a gift for someone.

I absolutely cannot wait until I need something -- a card, gift wrapping, a new phone case, artwork, or absolutely anything needed to throw a great garden party -- because I will be running back here. This is possibly the cutest store in LA. A few of the LA instagram accounts I follow were posting about this place and I had to come check it out for myself. The prices are less than I expected and there is such an abundance of things that made my wallet want to jump out of my bag. The women behind the counter were super nice and helpful - not hovery - and I will most certainly be back! read more

I absolutely adore this little boutique! I live a block away, so I tend to wander in there about once a week. The staff is so friendly, and the product selection is to die for.

I have recently been shopping their plant/succulent collection, which rotates frequently. They also have some great gifts for yourself or your home. If you're looking for an adorable gift shop, with friendly service, look no further! The ladies at Shout and About have you covered. read more

Just the most inspired gift shop ever. The fact that I can find something for every occasion in a pinch has made me go here for everything. It's improved my relationships with friends that have moved out of state by making it effortless to send the cutest notes & cards. I have jewelry, candles, stationary and plants that I found there that I ADORE. They sell items from local independent artists too. I pop in once a week because I don't want to miss anything. The owner has a big heart and rescues/fosters dogs constantly. They get extra credit in my book for that. read more

Shout and About is in a cute little row of salons, shops, and cafes. The shop is small, but they have a lot of knick knacks to offer, including a quarter wall of cute cards, pins from The Good Twin and Valley Cruise Press, candles, books, journals/planner, perfumes, and jewelry. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I just stopped by to look, but there's surely something here for your cool hipster friend's birthday. read more

Absolutely love this shop. Tamara does an incredible job of sourcing local crafts, jewelry and other fun home offerings. Her prices are very reasonable, and she is so helpful. I special ordered a bracelet that had sold out, and she went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with what I got. The bracelet is absolutely gorgeous, and I ended up buying a ring as well. This type of boutique is not easy to do well, and she does it the best I have seen! read more
