We hope this list will inspire you to be creative when giving gifts this year, to think outside the box, to go talk to local shop owners and employees. Gathered here in our 11th annual Submerge Holiday Gift Guide is a brief list of just some of the highly giftable items that we found during two, maybe three afternoons of stopping into and perusing local shops. With just the slightest bit of extra effort to shop locally, you won’t be lining the pockets of giant corporations you’ll be giving back to the little guys, your neighbors. There are so many cool local businesses, local makers and awesome, unique products available from shops and stores owned by people living right here in our Sacramento-area communities. When it comes to holiday shopping for loved ones or friends, we’re really lucky to live in an area where we don’t have to do all of our shopping at crowded, sterile, one-in-the-same big box stores or malls.
