Holiday Hostess Gift Ideas from a San Diego Provisions Shop

Arriving with a gift is a small gesture that says a lot. Here are our favorite hostess gifts, all under one roof in Bankers Hill.

Pantry treasures

A beautiful bottle of olive oil, tinned fish in pretty packaging or artisan chocolate: useful, delicious and far more memorable than another candle.

Something one-of-a-kind

Our shelves include vintage ceramics, linens and little curiosities found at flea markets near and far. No two are alike, just like your host.

A ready-made gift basket

Short on time? Ask us to put together a holiday gift basket or picnic box. Email hello@happygopicnic.com with your budget and date and we'll handle the rest.
