Shop Local in Sacramento
2020 is not the year for cramming into crowded malls and shops to get your last-minute Christmas shopping done. Even before the pandemic, more and more holiday shopping was done online. This year, the bulk of holiday shopping will be done through our computers. At the same time, it is more important than ever to “shop local” and support small businesses. Accordingly, we have rounded up a list of the best places in Sacramento for holiday shopping – and thankfully, each provides options for buying online for shipping, delivery, or curbside pick-up.
