The holidays are upon us, which means it’s time for that annual North Bay ritual: pretending we shop early, then panic-buying hither and yon like festive fugitives.
Fortunately, our counties are brimming with makers, artists, boutiques and culinary wizards who can turn even a last-minute scramble into something that looks curated and intentional—your little secret.
This year’s Pacific Sun–Bohemian Holiday Gift Guide rounds up the best locally made, locally sold gifts the region has to offer. Think handcrafted jewelry straight out of Petaluma studios, heirloom-quality décor from Mill Valley, chocolate worth a sonnet, Sonoma-forged dog treats and enough olive oil to transform an ordinary kitchen into a Tuscan daydream.
Whether you’re shopping for the aesthete, the foodie, the fashion-forward or the special person who has everything, we’ve done the sleuthing. All you have to do is take the credit.
Happy gifting.
