Influencers don’t need more stuff—they need better backgrounds. And props. And lighting. And notebooks. And mugs. Fortunately, the North Bay is a treasure trove of photogenic objects that elevate any feed. Whether your giftee is building a brand, shooting cozy morning Reels or simply documenting their immaculate life, these gifts will upgrade their content faster than you can say “link in bio.”
Photo-Ready Journals
Copperfield’s Books, throughout the North Bay
A good-looking notebook is the influencer’s equivalent of a lucky talisman—perfect for flat lays, creative planning or that inevitable “new chapter” post. Copperfield’s carries an outstanding selection of journals, sketchbooks and stationery that will delight the aesthetically inclined. Pair one with a pen that writes smoothly, and you’ve gifted both content and inspiration.
Boho‑Chic Props
Boho Bungalow, Petaluma & Occidental
For a (ahem) bohemian‑inspired feed, head to Boho Bungalow in downtown Petaluma. This full‑service interior‑design and lifestyle boutique offers home décor and gift items ranging from jewelry and coffee mugs to plants, crystals, kitchen supplies and housewares. The shop also provides in‑home styling and interior‑design services. Influencers can pick up funky planters, woven baskets and glam crystals to create an instant boho backdrop, or choose a beautiful mug for those “morning routine” shots. The natural textures and earthy colors give content a warm, grounded aesthetic that feels effortlessly curated.
Marin Makers

Located on Grant Avenue in Novato, Wild Fennel is a thoughtfully curated boutique that celebrates local makers.
