Leanna Lin's Wonderland Gift Shop + Art Gallery - Eagle Rock
I love buying people plants as a gift and this coffee/plant shop has such a great selection of pot and plants and reasonable prices.
Creature's Plants and Coffee - Eagle Rock
I always stop in here when I'm in the area. They have such a great selection on candles, lotions, soaps, and jewelry.
Clover - Silver Lake
Parchment Paper is a culinary themed gift shop that's owned by the same people that own Milk Farm. They have such a great selection of all things food themed. I love their wallpaper and hats.
Parchment Paper Culinary Gifts and Stationery - Eagle Rock
This shop is perfect for anyone that loves stationary, pens and desk accessories.
Shorthand - Highland Park
This plant and home accessory shop has a really well curated selection from very talented artists.
Acorn - Eagle Rock
This old fashioned soda fountain shop not only makes amazing milk shakes, but they also have the cutest holiday shop that pops up September through January.
Fair Oaks Pharmacy - South Pasadena
This is my go to shop when I need a gift for one of my witchy friends. They have so many different crystals with clear labeling about what they do and a really great selection of tarot decks.
House Of Intuition - Highland Park
This plant shop makes me so happy. It's such a great spot with the best selection. I want to buy every single thing that they have.
Potted - Atwater Village
This is my favorite gourmet food store when I want to buy a gift for my foodie friends or when I want to treat myself to some fancy food product to cook wtih or make a beautiful charcuterie.
Epicurus Gourmet - North Hollwood
This is my favorite farmers' market to go to. It's every Saturday and I love to go and just walk around and let whatever is in season inspire me to cook my next dinner. They also have delicious fresh pasta, baked goods and nuts.
Pasadena Certified Farmers' Market
This is my favorite flea market to go to. It's the first Sunday of every month. I like it so much better than the rose bowl flea market. Way less crowded and not ridiculously overpriced.
Flea Market - Pasadena City College
This little grocery store, located next to the famous pastry/coffee shop, Fondry, carries gourmet food items from local restaurants, breweries, and fresh bread, in addition to organic local fresh produce and cheeses.
Potluck Local - Highland Park
I think it's a super fun idea to take someone, or even yourself, to get a new piercing as a gift. Everyone that works here is so great and they have a really nice selection of jewelry in every price range.
GOLDEN AGE BODY PIERCING - Eagle Rock
This is another great witchy shop. They have so many tarot decks that they’re regularly updating, incense, crystal, candles and jewelry. They also perform readings and have classes.
