Laguna doesn’t really do “mall shopping.” We do hat studios, gallery browsing, ceramic treasure hunts, dinner under the Forest Ave lights, scalp resets, and wellness sessions you hear about from a friend who swears it changed everything.
This year’s LBL Gift Guide is officially live — packed with the local spots we actually love, shop at, and send our friends to. Nothing mass-produced, nothing trend-chasing. Just Laguna, in gift form.
Here’s who made the list this year:
🤠 — Custom, hand-shaped hats made in the studio for the person wearing it.
👗 — Three Forest Ave boutiques carrying effortless, polished Laguna style.
🍽️ — Thoughtful, handmade ceramics and art from Japanese makers, curated with so much heart.
🏡 — Cottage-style décor, antiques, and one-of-a-kind home pieces Laguna has loved for 25 years.
🍷 — A relaxed tasting room pouring Paso Robles favorites right here in Laguna.
🍕 — A dinner under the lights, with handmade pasta and a cozy Forest Ave glow.
☕️ — Ethically sourced beans and seasonal blends from the café at the restored Rivian South Coast Theater.
💆🏻♀️ — Scalp treatments that feel like a full reset — soothing, restorative, healing.
🫧 — Clean beauty, hydrafacials, brows, lashes, makeup, and house-call services.
🎨 — Contemporary fine art on Gallery Row, celebrating 45 years in Laguna.
🐾 — A local author’s kid-friendly series about safety, kindness, and community.
💪🏼 — Strength training in the HIP District focused on form, mobility, and feeling good.
🧬 — Peptide therapy and personalized guidance for anyone craving better energy or support through life and health changes.
