When it comes to decking the halls, we've gotten a little extra this holiday season.
Inspired by our art-filled 7x7 Social Club pop-up, our editorial elves have collaborated with a dozen Bay Area artists and designers to deliver gifts this year that will feel truly special.
You could be one of just three lucky ones to pick up Erin Hupp's caviar server in our custom caper glaze, or one of 14 to get your paws on Lucky Rapp's custom-made resin "Fucks" in holiday shades. When your giftee wraps up Lan Jaenicke's 7x7 cashmere jacket or throws on Emily Meyer's Forty-Nine blazer, they'll be guaranteed to stand out from the pack.
Join us to shop these special artist collaborations (plus more art and fashion) IRL at 7x7's One-of-a-Kind Holiday Market on November 30th, in celebration of Small Business Saturday. You'll meet many of the creators, enjoy complimentary pours of wine, and of course holiday treats.
As always, we've also rounded up dozens of terrific gifts from local shops and makers. Happy gifting!

Wrap her up in joie de vivre with a colorful bandana from SF designer Ayca Kilicoglu. Made of a cotton-silk blend, the Sahmaragon bandana ($55) is one of many playful styles starring the artist’s hand-drawn illustrations. Whether paired with a white tee or black turtleneck, this 21-inch square brings a twist of chic. P.S. Fans of “The Bear,” will be particularly excited to know the scarves have been featured on the FX show—worn by sous-chef Syd, obvi. // Shop online at murbyayca.com.
Adventure-Ready Gifts

Waterfield has a solution to prevent them not only from having to constantly dig under the seat or in the overhead compartment for plane necessities, but from losing the items once they’ve been extracted. The Air Caddy ($59-$79) is a slim folio designed to fit in an airline seat pocket with enough room for a 13” tablet and pockets for organizing essentials like earbuds, smart phones, and snacks. It’s the easiest way to keep them organized on flights that feel like they’ll never end—and make sure they deplane with their passport in hand. // Shop online at sfbags.com.
Homey Gifts Bring Joy to All
(Courtesy of Stockhome)
Light up anyone’s holiday with Stockhome’s Essentials petite candle set ($65). Made of natural soy, coconut and beeswax, the trio features the brand’s most adored scents: Hinoki, Palo Santo and Santalum. Handcrafted in SF using custom fragrance (inspired by nature) and rich essential oils, each candle has a 24-hour burn time. Artfully packaged, this gift hits all the right holiday notes. // Shop online at studiostockhome.com.
Holiday Gifts That Give Back

It took 14 years for La Cocina, the nonprofit incubator for immigrant and women food entrepreneurs of color, to create a cookbook featuring the fearless chefs to whom they gave their start there. With 100 recipes from 40 talented women, We Are La Cocina: Recipes in Pursuit of the American Dream ($30) was worth the wait. Filled with beautiful color photos by award-winning photographer Eric Wolfinger and a foreword by author Isabel Allende, all proceeds from the book will be invested back into La Cocina. // Shop online at la-cocina-sf-store.myshopify.com.

Kids of all ages will look like delicious snacks thanks to this Pretzel hair clip ($12) from Jenny Lemons. No prob if salty snacks aren’t her jam, as there are tons of goodies to choose from like the Strawberry hair claw clip ($24) and the Crinkle-Cut Fries clip set ($18). They’re all scrumptious, and made with a chic, eco-friendly plastic alternative. Cheers to giving good-hair days! // Shop online at jennylemons.com.
