Looking for a last minute holiday gift? This year, celebrate the Bay Area’s diverse and innovative companies by counting on them for any last minute shopping needs. The Bay Area has long been a hub for small, inventive companies, and some have grown to become well known across the United States. Here are some of our favorite home-grown Bay Area companies to help with your holiday shopping this year:
1. Levi’s: Celebrate the birth of the blue jean right in the Bay Area’s backyard! After Levi Strauss immigrated to San Francisco during the Gold Rush in 1850, the blue jeans were invented to give miners durable pants that they have continued to manufacture for centuries. Now one of the most prolific fashion brands based in San Francisco, celebrates their legacy with a pair of jeans, a hat, or another denim accessory for your loved one. Their 30% off sitewide holiday sale is on now!
2. AllBirds: Though founded in New Zealand in 2014, AllBirds is headquartered in San Francisco and came to fame amongst Silicon Valley and Bay Area residents. The company is known for simple design and environmental consciousness, taking steps to reduce their carbon footprint while replacing synthetic materials in their shoes with recycled bottles and natural wool. This holiday season, check out their signature shoes or their colorful socks!
3. Benefit Cosmetics: After opening up a boutique in the Mission in 1976, twin sisters Jean and Jane Ford transformed “The Face Place” into Benefit Cosmetics, one of the largest beauty brands in the Bay Area. This year, shop for their bestselling brow products, or their pre-packaged gift sets here.
4. Dandelion Chocolate: Founded in 2012, Dandelion Chocolate is one of the leading craft chocolate companies in San Francisco, and its innovative chocolate products are sure to make a great gift. Enjoy their single origin collection, made out of just ethically sourced cocoa and sugar. They also offer classes and events like the Edible History of Chocolate, or a Chocolate and Sake Pairing weekly!
