Support local businesses this holiday season!
We have compiled a great list of San Francisco Bay Area-based brands offering a wide array of products, services, and even parties. Be sure to include a couple or all of these gift ideas for the special people in your life on your holiday shopping list!
Top 10 local gift ideas for the holidays:
1. Staycation at Handlery Union Square Hotel
Use code ‘SFMOMS’ when booking to unlock exclusive discounted rates! Give the gift of a getaway to the City! Handlery Union Square Hotel is located next to THE holiday central of San Francisco. Your loved ones will love the staycation filled with festive activities in downtown SF (ice skating, giant Christmas tree, Santacon, etc.) without having to commute to and from their homes.
2. Dabble & Dollop
Dabble & Dollop makes bath time even more exciting and enjoyable for toddlers (older kids and parents/caretakers too!) and is a family business run by SF Bay Area Mom Stephanie Leshney. Hailing from the natural ingredient industry, Stephanie designed the products specifically for kids, using ingredients that have been carefully selected, sustainably sourced, and sustainably produced using a cold-process method of production. All products are also mixable – so kids can get really creative by coming up with their own custom concoctions – and bonus: it is much cleaner than slime!
3. Flexispot Ergonomic Furniture
Flexispot is the perfect place to outfit your home office, your teen’s gaming hub, your family game room, or even your office office with a fresh set of ergonomic furniture! The Sit2Go Fitness Chair provides a super comfortable sitting experience and doubles as an exercise bike. This chair-bike is also on rollers, so it can be moved easily around the house and used anytime – unlike that rowing machine/stationary bike that has been sitting somewhere for months collecting dust. Pair the chair with a height-adjustable standing desk and you’re game for the new year.
