I discovered the most charming gift shop in LA! It’s a magical shop and art gallery called Leanna Lin’s Wonderland. It's full of colorful art and gifts that inspire wonder. A beautifully curated collection. The items in Leanna Lin's are so cute and nostalgic too. I bought a book for my son titled “You Are Loved” by a local LA author, and Ouiji board earrings for a friend’s birthday. It's fun to look at and fair to estimate spending $10, $20, $50, $100. Well worth the investment in local artisans!
Every month, they host fun events like art exhibitions and hands-on craft activities. They’re friendly to families and kids of all ages.
Leanna Lin's is located in Eagle Rock. It's a classic East LA neighborhood. It has the calm energy of an old California city, with a fresh fusion of eateries, murals, and local-first shops. There are two main roads in Eagle Rock with fun places to explore, Colorado Blvd. and Eagle Rock Boulevard, and Leanna Lin’s is located in the heart of Eagle Rock Boulevard. Enjoy the neighborhood for local LA shopping and fresh food!
