Among the things to be thankful for every year is San Diego’s diverse landscape of homegrown small businesses. And though there’s never a bad time to shop, dine, or drink at local boutiques, bars, or bistros, many of them are getting in the spirit for Small Business Saturday by offering sales, live music, and other promotions. Let Nov. 30 be the perfect excuse to find special gifts—and get some sweet deals—while shopping local and small.

One Paseo

At this newly unveiled shopping center, chat with the owners of several San Diego-based businesses, including Shop Good and Urban Beach House, to get personalized shopping advice, tips on trends of the season, and tailored gift recommendations. Stick around for a tree lighting ceremony…because it’s never too early for Christmas.
