Where to Shop Small in San Diego

If the thought of doing your holiday shopping at the mall has you breaking out in a cold sweat, you’re not alone. Finding something thoughtful and unique for those last few friends on your gift list can be stressful, especially as the number of shopping days dwindles. Instead of spending hours cruising for an empty parking space or fighting the crowds to buy another mass-produced trinket, head out into your neighborhood, where you’ll find locally produced, one-of-a-kind artisanal products ranging from amazing artwork and unique apparel to handmade food items and elegant jewelry.

We visited three of San Diego’s most vibrant neighborhoods to find the season's most gift-worthy items. So grab your reusable grocery bags, your naughty/nice list, and check out some of our favorite small retailers:

Thrillist TV

Barrio Logan

Long known to locals as a hidden gem, Barrio Logan’s history of art and activism goes back decades. Historic Chicano Park, home to the largest collection of Chicano murals in the world, was the neighborhood’s answer to the city’s encroachment into an established local greenspace back in 1966. Now one of just fourteen California Cultural Districts, Barrio Logan has developed organically into one of the city’s fastest growing food and art destinations, with new breweries, restaurants, galleries, and shops opening almost weekly.

NATIVO owner Xochitl Villarreal, who was forced to close her shop during the COVID-19 pandemic, has reopened and is ready to help you find the perfect hand woven crafts and clothing for gift giving. At Combine and Create, Vanessa Alcaraz, a multimedia artist, creates hand-forged, metal-smithed jewelry in sterling silver and pure brass, combined with ethically mined gemstones, antique coins, and beads. Check out Simón Limón, a tiny retail and creative space that curates handmade goods from local, primarily Latinx, women-owned businesses on both sides of the border. Hola Swim founders and lifelong friends Aida Soria and Syncletica Maestas started their swimsuit shop because they could not find suits that they actually loved and enjoyed wearing. Their products, which have been featured in Vogue Paris and Cosmo Latina, are made entirely in San Diego and are designed to be multifunctional, moving seamlessly from day to night or beach to brunch. Vinyl nerds know that Beat Box Records is one of the best places to find vintage vinyl of all types, from funk to soul, rock to jazz, hip hop, and anything in between.

In addition to the brick-and-mortar shops, Barrio Logan features frequent pop-up shopping, eating and music experiences, often hosted by Mujeres Brew House. Check their Instagram and Facebook for the latest events, and be sure to stop by the neighborhood on the second Saturday of the month for the Barrio Art Crawl, for more shopping and cultural opportunities.

Little Italy

Little Italy, once home to a thriving community of Italian tuna fishers, covers 48 blocks of the city, making it the largest Little Italy in the United States, as well as home to the oldest bar in San Diego, The Waterfront, and the Little Italy Mercato, the largest farmers market in the county. Overseen by the Little Italy Association of San Diego, it’s most often thought of these days as a dining destination, and while that’s absolutely true, it’s also a great place to find one-of-a-kind boutiques, shops, and galleries.

One of the most popular stops for in-the-know shoppers is Stroll, a (mostly) women’s boutique that features trendy designer apparel, home goods, and accessories, and has some of the best ugly holiday sweaters we’ve ever seen, if you’re into that sort of thing. Vitreum has both a brick-and-mortar and online shopping for out of the ordinary home decorating and wellness items you won’t find in the mall. Head to Love & Aesthetics for loads of cheeky home decor, including anatomically correct heart vases, monkey lighting, and NSFW mugs. They also have more conventional home goods, jewelry, apothecary items, and tableware. Bluza Boutique is the place to go for fashion-forward designer apparel and accessories made especially with the over-forty woman in mind. Textiles, exquisite dream catchers, and finely crafted accessories from all over the world can be found at Rosamariposa, and everything the home cook and DIY specialist in your life could want can be found at Home Ec.

For a less traditional approach to holiday gift shopping, don’t forget about the Little Italy Mercato, where vendors like Angel Me jewelers, Style by Ilana custom clothing, and PAR KER made textiles, artwork, and ceramics have exceptional gifts that your special someone will love. As an added bonus, you can pick up host/hostess gifts, flowers, and other celebratory necessities without making an additional trip to the grocers.

Liberty Station

One of the most walkable neighborhoods in San Diego, Liberty Station was originally dedicated in 1923 as a Naval Training Center, and today, most of the original Spanish Colonial Revival buildings have been converted into businesses, museums, galleries, restaurants, and retail shops. Shop in a park-like setting that’s filled with art and nature, where you can browse to your heart’s content, then stop for a cocktail or a meal at one of dozens of options.

At the Liberty Public Market, pick up fine olive oils, balsamic vinegars, salts and spices, and locally made goods for the foodies in your life at Baker & Olive, or grab some rare and hard to find brews for your favorite beer snob at Bottlecraft. Jewelry, both inspirational and unusual, along with vintage clothing that ranges from sequined bustiers to tweed blazers, can be found at Nobel Rags, which donates $1 from each sale to one of six local charities.

Venturing outside of the Liberty Public Market, Seahive Station houses more than 23,000 square feet of curated, handmade, and vintage goods from jewelry, clothing, and home decorating items to vintage tiki glasses and barware. You’ll find apparel, lifestyle and home goods, eyewear, and gifts in one streamlined space at Moniker General, where they also conveniently serve coffee and cocktails. We also love Pigment for its huge selection of plants, pots, and all the accoutrements to keep them green and happy, but don’t sleep on their collection of fun lifestyle items, wellness goods, and apparel. Finally, niche shops like Apricot Yarn & Supply, Point Loma Tea, Imperfects, and Mo Records will help you with the hard to buy for folks in your life.

The health-driven True Food Kitchen will open the doors to its second San Diego location at La Jolla’s Westfield UTC center this Saturday, November 18, as part of the mall’s eagerly anticipated new expansion and re-opening.

Co-founded by integrative medicine expert Dr. Andrew Weil and nine-time James Beard Award nominee for Restaurateur of the Year Sam Fox, True Food Kitchen’s menu is rooted in the principles of Dr. Weil’s anti-inflammatory diet and caters to foodie palates and preferences with a variety of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan offerings for brunch, lunch, dinner and cocktails. The UTC location is the brand’s second San Diego opening, as True Food Kitchen at Fashion Valley Mall debuted in 2012.

True Food Kitchen’s new UTC branch features approximately 9,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor dining space, including an expansive dining room with 200 seats and two outdoor patios that can host approximately 44 guests. Inside, woods and vibrant locally-inspired artwork add a contemporary touch to the earthy color scheme, with natural elements and greenery, including indoor/outdoor garden basins filled with fresh herbs and spices. Eco-friendly materials are utilized throughout the restaurant, such as the hardwood floors, which are made of reclaimed wood, and dining chairs made of recycled soda bottles.

"It is clear that the demand for health-driven, seasonal, delicious food is abundant in San Diego and this has fueled our passion and commitment to bringing even more True to this wellness-aware community," said True Food Kitchen CEO Christine Barone.

Known for selecting and preparing food using nutrient-rich ingredients, True Food Kitchen UTC’s debut menu features a mix of seasonally driven dishes like the Winter Squash Toast, Seasonal Ingredient Salad, Moroccan Chicken and the fan-favorite Squash Pie. Fall-inspired cocktails and refreshers are featured alongside the brand’s year-round menu favorites, including an assortment of house-made vegan and vegetarian pizzas, signature appetizers such as the Tuscan Kale Salad and Shiitake Lettuce Cups and ever-popular entrees including the Ancient Grains Bowl, Inside Out Quinoa Burger, Spaghetti Squash Casserole, and more.

Five years after work began on the Blue Line Trolley extension to La Jolla and University Town Center, officials formally unveiled their baby Thursday — right on forecast time.

Find out what's happening in San Diego with free, real-time updates from Patch.

News media and MTS officials rode three of 36 new trolley cars bought for the extension from Old Town Station to the terminus at Westfield UTC, passing the VA hospital and UC San Diego on the way.

UCSD Chancellor Pradeep Khosla hailed the extension as a "dream come true," which will make it easy to attend events at an adjacent amphitheater being built on campus. He called the trolley stop a main entrance to the school.

MTS Chief Operating Officer E. Wayne Terry, who plans to retire next summer after 40 years, said new cars will have ramps to accommodate wheelchair access and more sideways seating to allow for more standing riders and a pathway for disabled people.

On Sunday, at Warren Field adjacent to the UC San Diego Central Campus Station, a free community celebration will mark the first day of public service.

Festivities will include live music, free food, giveaways — and free trolley rides all day long. The extended Blue Line, running 11 miles with nine new stations, increases the trolley network by 20%.

Service hours will be about 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. with trolleys arriving at stations every 15 minutes.

Trolleys will transport riders from the U.S. side of the Mexican border to La Jolla. Abut 128 new full-time MTS employees will support the extension.

The expansion has a a $2.3 billion price tag. Twenty-one bridges were built throughout the project and 160,000 feet of track were laid for the biggest section so far.

The extension allows direct connection to the UCSD campus, the VA hospital and Westfield UTC mall.

Bus connections take riders from the Balboa Avenue transit center to the beaches, and from the Old Town Station to SeaWorld and San Diego International Airport.

Riders will be able to transfer at the Old Town Station from the Blue Line to the Green Line Trolley out to the Orange Line to El Cajon and Santee. In addition, Blue, Green and Orange lines intersect at the 12th and Imperial station.

COO Terry, noting traffic backups in the north city region, said: "It will be nice to see the trolley zoom by when the cars are stopped," encouraging more ridership.
