‘Tis the season of cheer, making memories, and showing those we love how much we care. During the holidays we can get so caught up in the fun of it all that we can forget some of the most thoughtful elements of the season: gift giving. The magic moment of gifting that perfect gift that makes your loved one say ‘this is exactly what I have been missing!” is truly unforgettable.

Here are some ways to show the special people in your life that they are loved and celebrated during the season of giving and beyond!

Whether you are hosting the holiday potluck at yours or theirs we all know one thing – the party wouldn’t be as fabulous without them! For the host(ess) in your life, treat them to a gift certificate to a credit towards a local event venue. Help them take their hosting to the next level and make event planning a bit easier by helping them host their next event at one of the newest, modern event spaces in San Diego – JULEP. With a full list of preferred vendors to work with, versatile space rentals, and charming architecture this place is sure to wow the host(ess) and their event guests.

We all know one person that takes their morning cup of joe very seriously…in that case, be sure all the coffee connoisseurs in your life are in for a real treat this holiday with a bag of locally roasted beans from your hometown roasters. Looking for any recommendations? JULEP Cafe is a provider for one of the most distinguished local roasters in San Diego – West Bean. Gift a bag of these beans to your favorite coffee enthusiast to give them a gift they’ll rave about.

The Wild Child in your life loves all things exciting – be sure to give them a gift that is unconventional and immerses them into a whole new world. For a gift that is off the beaten path, look to Snake Oil Cocktail Company to help you blow your loved ones away!

Give your artiste an experience of a lifetime with Cocktail Graffiti.

Snake Oil’s Cocktail Graffiti Experience is one that will serve to make memories and inspire everyone’s artist within.

If you have a hard working business professional in your life, consider giving them a gift that is pleasurable and practical.

Get them a Gift Card to a local cafe; they’ll be thankful for the treat and can use it while working remotely or when meeting with partners and clients.
