Make your next camping trip a little more cozy with a sleeping bag from Sonoma-based Marmot ($199 and up).

Experiences They Won't Forget

Give the gift that sparks joy all year with a membership to one of the Bay Area’s many acclaimed museums. For those who prefer buzzworthy modern art, an SFMOMA membership ($130) will delight; for those who like variety, a FAMSF membership ($119) will grant access to both the de Young and Legion of Honor museums; for those with insatiable curiosity, a California Academy of Sciences will keep them busy ($159); and for those residing on the sunnier side of the bridge, consider gifting a membership to OMCA ($99).

Stylish Gifts for Well-Dressed People

There's just something about slippers: Wrap up the Devon ($80) and, no doubt, kisses will flow (no mistletoe necessary). The debut style from new SF brand Luvons checks all the boxes: effortless and elegant, luxurious, comfy and machine washable. Plus, each pair comes with a mesh laundry bag; available in black, camel and slate blue. // Shop online at myluvons.com.

Sharp Objects for Design Lovers

Berkeley-based Sommer prides itself in placing an emphasis on emerging artisans and independent brands with a goal of shining a light on traditional techniques and preservation. Their Espiral Puntos Vessel in Vaquero Y Blanco ($150) is created in a custom glaze. Hand-shaped spirals and spots turn this stoneware vessel into a perfect quirky flower holder. // Shop online at shopsommer.com.

If you’re not familiar with Dog & Co, you’re in for a treat. They have quite the collection of too cute items for dogs and cats including snuffle mats, puzzles, chic and sassy attire and tags, and more; and they have a pop up at Batch. The Mice interactive cat puzzle toy ($68) is great for smarty pants kitties, who will delight in pawing out treats hidden beneath the movable orange pieces. // Batch, 1648 Pacific Ave. (Russian Hill), shopdogandco.com
