We have a wide variety of unique businesses in {Town} where you can find great gifts for everyone on your list. Don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to gift-giving — unique and thoughtful gifts are the ones they'll remember! Here are some out of the box gift ideas, and {Town} shops, restaurants, and organizations where you can find them:
The gift of time
Sometimes you have people on your list who don't "need" anything — except more time in their day! How can you help them achieve that? Perhaps by gifting them a service that saves them time -- such as housecleaning, beautifully made pastries and to go coffee, security for your family through legal representation, yard work, painting, or a car detail. Here are some local businesses that offer those types of services:
The gift of self-care
Many of us are often so busy we forget to take time to care for ourselves. This has especially been true for parents during COVID who are juggling so much! A gift certificate for a spa treatment, a massage, a pedicure, or a hair appointment might be just the push they need to take a few hours for themselves and recharge. Here are some great spots in that offer these types of services, along with gift cards for the holidays:
The gift of experience
A gift certificate to a restaurant for a date night, a membership to a local museum for the family, a season pass for kids — experience gifts might come in a small package but might be their favorite holiday gift this season. Plus your purchase will help our local restaurants, nonprofits, and businesses with cash flow during this difficult year. Here are some great experience gift ideas:
- Outer Space Seattle
- Mode Music Studios
- Mode Music & Performing Arts
- Live as a Voyager
- West Seattle Art Nest
- School of Rock West Seattle
- Flash Photobooth Seattle
Our small businesses and organizations in West Seattle, White Center, Burien, Tukwila and Georgetown have had such a difficult year, and there's no better time to support them than now. Small businesses always rely on holiday shopping to help them through -- and this year, that is more important than ever!
The unique gift for everyone on your list
The gift of clothing, sporting gear, books and so much more can be found at all of these fantastic small businesses:
Be in the know: Many businesses now offer curbside service or home delivery due to COVID. Check their Facebook pages or call to find out about availability and doublecheck store hours before heading out.
