4. THE LITTLE THINGS

Judging by the name alone, you’d probably figure that Little Things was a kitsch, pastel-coloured boutique, maybe filled with baby clothes or children’s toys. Actually, it’s a nerdy haven with lots of miniatures, pop culture memorabilia and collectibles, from miniature superheroes to Star Wars figurines. If you never have time to make it to Comicave in Dubai Outlet Mall, Little Things is a worthy alternative.
