Shopping local is an awesome way to support our community and add a personal touch to your gift-giving.
Whether you’re seeking something unique for that hard-to-shop-for person or need a nice sentiment for someone you don’t know as well, you’ve got to get a little creative. Luckily, we put some thought into it, so you don’t have to!
Here are some very Seattle gift ideas that would delight anyone on your list.
Where To Start:
Pacific Northwest Shop – Wallingford or Tacoma
A family-owned business since 1978, consider this your one-stop shop for darling items that scream Pacific Northwest. Whenever I’m stuck on a gift idea, a quick stop to the Wallingford shop has me covered. Bonus: they just expanded next door on Wallingford Ave. with even more space to browse. The Tacoma shop on Proctor is also jam-packed with specific Tacoma gear and lovely PNW treats.
This charming 25-acre farm is a one-stop destination for stunning plants, thoughtful gifts, décor & more. Check out the Holiday Gift Shop for great finds like these seafood spreads and while you’re there, snag a photo with Santa through Dec. 22.
I love a cute gift basket and you can’t get more PNW than a basket filled with goodies from Pike Place Market. Visit these classic stops to help fill a basket or find individual gifts:

This shop went TikTok viral for its Swedish gummy candy, which we obviously had to try (see video below)! Scandinavian Specialties in Ballard has an impressive array of candy to wow anyone on your list, or go for something extra Ballard-y, like tinned fish or something in the cheese department. See their Holiday Shopping Guide here.
Fashion & Beauty Beat
Give the gift of relaxation and beauty with a facial, membership or skincare products from Heyday Skincare Kirkland. We tried their services shortly after Heyday opened in downtown Kirkland this summer and can’t wait to go back. Their shop is light and airy, conveniently located on Lake Street and filled with products you can purchase for yourself or as gifts. They offer an array of skincare services, including a popular membership model.
