The Point Is a One-Stop Shop for Everyone on Your List!
November is coming to a close, which means the holiday shopping season is in full swing! With so many loved ones and so little time, securing all of your gifts in time can seem a bit overwhelming. Thankfully, The Point in El Segundo is the ultimate one-stop shopping destination in Los Angeles. This outdoor center takes a more modern approach to the standard “mall,” featuring premier dining, boutiques, studios, salons and more. Whether you’re shopping for your sporty friend or in need of some creative stocking stuffers, The Point has plenty of stores and brands that everyone will love. Best of all, once you’ve shopped until you’ve (almost) dropped, you can re-energize at one of the center’s many restaurants or cafes. Say goodbye to the stress of the season by making holiday shopping a breeze at The Point!

For the Road Tripper
YETI

The YETI water bottles, tumblers and mugs keep your cold liquids icy and your hot liquids warm, while the durable dog bowls keep four-legged family members just as happy.
