Welcome To Emerald Forest Gifts!

So glad you're here!

Hi It's Kristen and I'm so excited that you've found Emerald Forest Gifts!

I'm proud to be the owner of this incredible shop that has served our Studio City Community for nearly 40 years (!!).

Please come and see us in person if you can to really experience the comfiness and community here and of course, the incredible scents in the air!

A few things about me:

  • I left a corporate job in April 2023 and bought the store from the original owner, Michelle Gagnon. She has been my guiding light and has taught me so much, for which I'm eternally grateful!

  • My husband, Jason, owns a small business in Los Angeles as well! His family opened The Bagel Broker on Beverly Blvd. and Fairfax Avenue the same year that Emerald Forest opened its doors -- 1987.

  • My favorite part about owning this shop is the community that it brings together every single day. There is a magic (Literally! I'll tell you all about it!) to Emerald Forest and I feel grateful to walk into this space each morning.
