Nearby at Tecolote Book Shop:

Chaucer’s, Godmothers, The Book Den…. Whatever your favorite bookstore is, patronize it—books make great gifts.

Across the street, Eider Studio:

Makeup towels for people who have a lot of houseguests ($90).

Spread some seed ($5).

···············

Not recommended for Tippi Hendren ($10).

······················

And next, Emily Joubert:

An advent calendar—better late than never!—with Mariage Frères tea ($102), a fun way to sample different varieties.

···············

Or maybe hot chocolate is your beverage of choice ($20); pairs well with artisanal marshmallows ($15).

···············

When you got a fever and there’s only one prescription ($182)….

···············

Color someone beautiful with Marit Rae beaded bracelets ($32).

······················

And finally, Cheese Shop Santa Barbara:

Rock art (price upon request), with all proceeds going to a Santa Barbara County Education Office scholarship.
