Bumping this to get some ideas on gifts for Christmas. I have a handful of gift baskets to build, and I want to try and fill them with mostly local stuff. Here are a few local shops that I’ve been using:
Soffrito: These guys sell amazing oils & vinegars, as well as fresh pasta and some Mediterranean goods that are sometimes hard to find locally.

Nanao Kimono: Great shop for a variety of Japanese home, beauty & gift kind of things.

Plant (Inglewood): I freaking love this store. It’s such a beautiful shop, with loads of really great plants for the home, gifting, etc. They also offer terrarium building classes which is a great option for experience type gifts.

I'll be going to the Farmers Market as well, they have so many great shops/food vendors and at this time of year, they open it up to a lot of local makers who are selling their goods for Christmas.
A couple things I’m trying to source locally are coffee/tea mugs, and a good local photographer that sells yearly calendars. Any suggestions?
