Holiday shopping can feel overwhelming, especially in crowded malls and big-box stores. That’s why we love shopping small, where it feels like you have a personal shopper by your side, the owner knows their products inside and out, and your gifts are often wrapped for you before you leave. Here’s your guide to the Plaza’s small businesses, curated to make your holiday season a little easier.
Camino Books
Your neighborhood bookstore, and so much more. Camino Books has something for every age group, from children’s stories and bestselling fiction to beautifully designed coffee-table books. The team is always ready with thoughtful recommendations and even shares staff picks online.
Coco Rose
What started as a mother-daughter trip to Bali became a brand rooted in craftsmanship, culture, and connection. Coco Rose brings that spirit to Del Mar with a curated selection of gifts, fashion-forward pieces, accessories, and artisan-made finds. It’s the perfect stop for unique treasures with a story behind them.
Garys Studio
For the men on your list, Garys Studio has been family-owned and operated since 1978, offering high-quality menswear and accessories. Their team is known for personal service and helping you find the perfect fit for anyone you’re shopping for.
Loghman Jewelers
A little sparkle goes a long way. Loghman Jewelers has been a local favorite since 1989, originally founded to bring handcrafted Italian jewelry to Southern California. Today, it remains one of the Plaza’s most iconic spots for meaningful gifts that last.
Sea Biscuit
For the trendsetter, Sea Biscuit Del Mar curates standout fashion and accessories you won’t find in big-box stores. Their team can help build a complete look, put together a beautiful gift, or guide you through the season’s most sought-after pieces.
Urban Beach House + Urban Girl Accessories
Your go-to for gifts for everyone on your list. Urban Beach House and Urban Girl Accessories have everything from kids’ toys and candles to men’s hats and UGG slippers, making it an easy stop for stocking stuffers and last-minute finds.
