To support local retailers this season (and to break our online shopping addiction), we're scouring LA's best boutiques for gift-worthy items that are ready to shop right now. This is our IRL (In Real Life) Gift Guide.
Now that you've checked off the Kenzo-loving kids on your list at Opening Ceremony, it's time to start thinking about all your unapologetically hip pals. Seeing as the Eastside is the epicenter of all things indie, artisanal, handcrafted and what have you, Silver Lake boutique Hemingway & Pickett is the top prezzie pick for those DIY-minded folks who fancy themselves too cool for the likes of certain big box hipster retailers.
Known for its well-curated selection of curiosities, locally-made wares and unique finds from indie designers around the globe—especially from Australia, where H&P owner Toby Burke Hemingway hails from—the shop stocks something for all the beardy Intelligentsia types and art school alumni in your speed dial list. From upcycled natural wood serving boards to minimalist chic jewelry by Trois Petits Points, check out more rad gift ideas after the jump.
