Geppetto's - A Child's Fantasy, 7850 Girard Ave, La Jolla, CA 92037, US

Hillside Artisans owner Karen Dole's mission when opening this children's boutique was to give children, her young daughter included, access to media, art, and all the tools needed to be creative. The store sells a wide range of children's products that offer “great design, rich colors, and wonderful textures.” Products include baby booties, onesies, baby carriers, pajamas, leggings, swimming suits, and dress-up outfits. To keep kids creative, Hillside Artisans offers craft kits for nail art, friendship bracelets, face painting, window art, and pipe cleaners. Other toys include plush toys, dolls, doll house furniture, puppets, stickers, wood toys, and games. Accessories include backpacks, lunch boxes, hats, slippers, watches, shoes, and much more. Be sure to visit the website provided for a list of summer, winter, and spring kids’ camps as well as a variety of recipes for Blueberry Smoothies, Butter Cookies, and homemade sidewalk chalk.
