Donât hold it against me, but my holiday shopping is already done this year. I know, I know, but I blame it on my arguably problematic shopping addiction and my genuine obsession with finding the perfect, personalized present for my loved ones. I strive to spend my holiday budget on as many St. Louis businesses as I can, and how could I not when so many local shops make it this easy to find one-of-a-kind, quality gifts? Pulling the guides in this newsletter together was a delight. From the best baby boutiques to the cutest toy shops, the Lou was dressed to impress this season. Click on the toy-shop guide below to score their picks for the bestsellers of the season. And to dress your babe, tot, or kiddo in the hippest looks, peruse the clothing and accessories in our metro area boutique guide. Insider tip?
