Pigment
A gift and kids shop on 30th Street in North Park — in its own words, 'a retail playground.'

San Diego does not keep its little shops in one place. Four sit in the city itself — North Park, South Park, Mission Hills and Normal Heights — two more up in La Jolla, and a run of four along the North County coast through Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Carlsbad, with one further east in La Mesa. We've gathered 11 across 10 neighborhoods, four of them consignment and resale, each one hand-checked and chosen by eye, never a paid placement.

They are spread rather than clustered. Three sit in the city neighborhoods — Pigment in North Park and Moon & Sun in both South Park and Mission Hills — and two more in La Jolla, Geppetto's Toys on Girard Avenue and Little Love up on Torrey Pines Road. Four run up the North County coast through Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Carlsbad, with two more east of there in Normal Heights and La Mesa. Every shop in this guide is hand-checked.
We list 11, across 10 neighborhoods. Listings come from public sources and our own checking — we don't take payment for placement, and we add more as we find them.
Four of them: Little Love in La Jolla, Junebug on Cedros in Solana Beach, The Baby Trader in Normal Heights and Nadeesh Nice Price in La Mesa. The rest sell new.
