GEARYS

A Beverly Hills institution for tabletop, home gifts, watches and jewelry, plus they still do an old-school gift registry for any life event worth toasting from birthday to bridal. The downstairs at GEARYS is primarily jewelry with some candles and diffusers in the back but head upstairs if you are seeking a set of Versace china or a Baccarat vase. For a fun holiday party item, the sterling silver cocktail shaker from Christofle (who also has a boutique nearby) is a winner.

Tom's Toys

Probably the most ‘feel good’ spot on Beverly Drive, a visit to this nostalgic-style toy emporium will have you searching for your favorite childhood board games in no time. Owner Ted Frankel opened Tom’s Toys almost a quarter of a century ago and makes sure that the goods span from infants to teenagers. So, what’s the hot toy these days? While puzzles have been flying off the shelves since the pandemic, it’s hands down a good-old-fashioned LEGO set, but these sets are far from basic. They include a grand piano that plays music once it’s built, several of the StarWars collection and botanicals which operate as a vase once you figure out all the pieces.

From backgammon games to coffee table books, vases, decanters, unique cards - and even cuddly stuffed animals, this is the place to find something unique for that special someone. Tesoro is also a goldmine for home treasures curated by global traveler and owner Tara Riceberg, whose mother (who originally owned the store in another location in Beverly Hills), taught her to “fill your home with necessary luxuries and objects designed to enhance your life quality.” Words to live by.

Carroll Custom

If you’re in the market for a bespoke sport jacket or suit, Carroll Custom, an offshoot of Carrol & Company which resided in Beverly Hills for 70 years but closed last year and is now located at the entrance of the charming Courtyard building on Cañon Drive, will work with you personally to find the right type of clothing for your lifestyle and body type. Next, the fabrics are chosen from very distinguished manufacturers in Europe (Loro Piana and Holland & Sherry, to name few) for weight and wearability. Every detail is considered from the buttons to pockets, linings and should you dare – a personal monogram. By the time the process is over, no one will have the same piece of clothing but you. Plan on a 4-5 week turn-around on a custom order but if you need something quicker, they do have shirts and knitwear.

What Goes Around Comes Around

What might look like a consignment store at first glance, is actually a treasure trove of coveted high-end fashion items from around the world that are hand-picked and curated from a group of private collectors and auctions.

So, if you don’t want to splurge right now for a Chanel suit or Hermes Birkin investment bag, for a gift or a present for yourself (no one is judging,) What Goes Around Comes Around is a good place to start your hunt for a recycled version from a previous owner.

What should you be looking for? The go-to for collectible fashion accessories, Chanel and Hermes bags are always a good investment. “We have actually quadrupled our inventory of really hard to get pieces,” said director of retail sales and development Julian Guevara. “We have colors and fabric selections going back 40 years.”  Plan on spending at least a few hours here.
