Style + Beauty Gifts to Glow Up Their Holiday
Marine Layer’s limited-edition Cashmere Hoodie ($278) will bring comfort, joy, and style to anyone who loves that cozy feeling. Seriously soft and dreamy, the pullover is an instant wardrobe upgrader. Translation: It’s perfection layered under a blazer or leather moto for nights out. It comes in men’s sizing and a range of yummy colors, but the ladies will love it, too. Gift givers also have the option to personalize the hoodie with fun patches and/or a chain-stitch message when purchasing online or at the new Custom Club pop-up on Fillmore Street.
// Shop in store at 498 Hayes St. (Hayes Valley) or 2106 Chestnut St. (Marina) and online at marinelayer.com
Foodie Gifts in Every Flavor
Brucato Spirits' newest amaro bottling, Fields ($45), is a blend of artichoke leaf, red beet, rhubarb root, fenugreek seed, dill weed, and coriander macerated in California grape brandy and aged in toasted oak barrels. Bitter in the best possible way, drink it straight, over ice, or in a cocktail.

Adventure-Ready Gifts
Ocean lovers who feel the moral weight of the footwear industry’s environmental waste will love a pair of repurposed Riviera Sandals ($85-$100). Fleks Footwear was born when founder Leah Larson teamed up with friend Stuart Jenkins, the innovator behind cutting-edge manufacturing turning top-quality scrap foam into high-performance products. A collection of stylish and eco-friendly slides, clogs, sandals, and flip-flops is the result, all inspired by Santa Barbara locales.
