Really, You Shouldn’t Have

Venokado Wine and Gifts Boutique Opens

Your friends think you know them so well.

At least well enough to know you’d find perfect presents at Venokado.

In what was once a dumpy mini mart on Fountain, the new wine and gifts boutique takes a modern, curated approach, from the polished concrete floors to the wall of wine — and all the design objects, housewares, beauty products, and kids’ fixings in between.

Stop by en-dinner-party-route for a bottle of red and Riedel glassware to go with or wrap up gorgeous candles, horseshoe game sets, or art books.

Can’t decide? Let the experts assemble a multigoodie box per budget and recipient’s likes.

They’ll surely say you shouldn’t have, but they’re glad you did.

Even if you didn’t.

Venokado, 7714 Fountain Avenue, between North Spaulding and North Genesee Avenues, West Hollywood (323-850-1600 or venokado.com).
