Pygmy Hippo Shoppe

One of the most unique gift shops in LA, and certainly one of the tiniest, Pygmy Hippo Shoppe is an adorable little boutique in Fairfax District. Decorated with dusty pastel colors and ornate wallpaper, the little store specializes in a masterfully curated collection of handmade goods such as letterpress cards, novelties, soaps, jewelry and toys made by owner Eminé Avanessian and other LA artisans, as well as books and unique vintage finds.
