Holiday Shopping in Santa Barbara

The Best Places to Find the Perfect Gifts!

The Best Places to Find the Perfect Gifts!

Holiday shopping in Santa Barbara is a rewarding experience and there’s no greater reward than discovering the eclectic mix of locally owned boutiques, galleries and shops that are some of the best places to find the perfect gifts in paradise on the pacific.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and there’s no better place to begin your holiday shopping adventure than the legendary Farmer Boy Restaurant, Santa Barbara’s original diner at 3427 State Street, which is just the proverbial hop, skip and jump away from the Loreto Plaza at the corner of State and Los Positas streets, the home of the 33 Jewels at El Paseo iconic Chaucer’s Bookstore, Santa Barbara’s muchloved bookseller since 1974 where you can browse a selection of over 150,000 titles in 300 sections.

From Loreto Plaza, we recommend you travel south on State Street to Downtown Santa Barbara, where you’ll find the area’s highest concentration of retail shopping treasures in the eleven blocks from Sola Street south to Highway 101 with abundant public parking off Chapala and Anacapa streets and open-air trolleys, electric shuttle buses and pedi-cabs available to help you navigate the most beautiful downtown on the California coast.

As you enter the downtown area, be sure to browse the extraordinary inventory at Natasha, the contemporary women’s clothing boutique in Victoria Court at 1231 State Street that specializes in easy care, easy wear casual clothing in natural fabrics made in California as well as the area’s largest selection of Citron and Cutloose apparel and a wide selection of accessories, shoes, bags, jewelry and hats is a locals and visitors favorite. Since Natasha is just across the street from the box office at the beautifully restored Granada Theatre at 1214 State Street, may we suggest that tickets to the State Street Ballet’s December 21st or 22nd performances of The Nutcracker, the holiday family favorite set to the unforgettable music of Tchaikovsky performed by the Opera San Luis Obispo Grand Orchestra or the Santa Barbara Symphony’s New Years Eve Pops Concert, the best New Year’s Eve celebration on the coast with Guest Conductor Bob Bernhardt directing a rousing program called “Women Rock!” celebrating the music of Carole King, Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin and more, would make memorable holiday gifts, especially if your Granada Theatre evening begins with dinner at Benchmark Eatery, Santa Barbara’s favorite Pre-Post ­12

The Museum Store proudly supports fair-trade merchants from around the world, and, all proceeds support the Museum of Art’s exhibitions and extensive education programs.

The historic La Arcada Courtyard at 1114 State Street is a popular place to capture a photo in front of the statues, and fountains or to savor the European cuisine and Danish pastries at The Andersen’s Danish Bakery & Restaurant that has been a family owned State Street landmark for more than 40 years.

The Yes Store At the corner of Carrillo and State streets, Wendy Foster State Street, one of downtown Santa Barbara’s premier shopping destinations for more than two decades, features an extensive inventory of clothing and accessories.

33 Jewels at 814 State Street in the historic El Paseo, California’s first shopping center, is a popular, full service jeweler that proudly features a diverse collection of wearable treasures from Santa Barbara jewelry artists and international jewelers that include an extensive collection of diamond, colored stones, and, a variety of precious metals.

The Yes Store, the nation’s longest running seasonal artisans’ cooperative, located next to Nordstrom’s at Paseo Nuevo, is celebrating their 52nd season through Christmas Eve; and, if you’re holiday shopping on a Sunday, be sure to visit the Sunday Arts & Crafts Show where over 200 resident artists display their own original work in a beautiful outdoor setting under the palms on Cabrillo Boulevard from Stearns Wharf to Chase Palm Park.

You’ll find more exquisite one-of-a-kind holiday gifts at the Santa Barbara Art Glassblowing Studio at 706 East Mason Street, where master glass artist Saul Alcaraz will help you design your own vases, bowls, bottles, lamps, platters and handblown ornaments shaped or cut-out by hand and assembled into a form that ensures no two finished pieces are the same.

If all this downtown shopping has whet your appetite for some world class cuisine, we recommend lunch or dinner at The Natural Café at 508 State Street or ­18

the great Mexican food and adult beverages at Casa Blanca Restaurant & Cantina at 330 State Street.

There’s no better gift than the gift of knowledge and there’s no better place enjoy the gift of knowledge than MOXI, the hands-on science museum at 125 State Street, the city’s newest destination for families and curious minds of all ages where you can exlore, ask questions, seek answers and have a blast.

If your travels have taken you closer to the Pacific, we suggest lunch or dinner at the Santa Barbara Fishouse at 101 East Cabrillo Boulevard for the finest seafood from exotic distant nets to the freshest local catch; and, if you’ve wandered near the Harbor, we invite you to enjoy classic Santa Barbara dining by the boats, under the sails, at Chuck’s Waterfront Grill, the casual dining atmosphere on the patio at the Breakwater Restaurant or the fresh seafood, fun and beautiful views at Brophy Bros Seafood Clam Bar & Restaurant.

Jellyfish Pendant Light, Before we leave Santa Barbara for the lush coastal Santa Barbara Art Glass community of Montecito where celebrity residents like Oprah Winfrey, Kirk Douglas, Rob Lowe and numerous other famous entertainers, artists and writers are often spotted in the area’s upscale boutiques, galleries, fine restaurants and world class hotels; we recommend a visit to the Santa Barbara Zoo that is known as one of the world’s most beautiful zoos and is home to 160 species of mammals, reptiles, birds and insects exhibited in open, naturalistic habitats overlooking the Pacific Ocean, the Andree Clark Bird Refuge and the Santa Ynez Mountains.

Montecito is divided into the two areas shown on the map on page 16 of this magazine. The Upper Village near the corners of East Valley Road and San Ysidro Road is bordered by the historic San Ysidro Ranch, the luxury resort that is considered to be one of the most romantic hideaways in the world. The Lower Village on Coast Village Road between Olive Mill Road and Hot Springs Road is bordered by the palatial Four Seasons Biltmore that combines the glory of historic California with legendary Four Seasons service.

We’ll begin this phase of our holiday shopping adventure in the Upper Village at Wendy Foster in the Plaza del Sol at 516 San Ysidro Road, the flagship of four stores that this local fashion icon owns in the greater Santa Barbara area. The Plaza del Sol is also home to the Pierre Lafond Montecito Market where you’ll find a wide array of unique gift baskets, olive oil, vinegar and other culinary treats.

Our holiday shopping adventure concludes in the Lower Village, where we suggest you visit the elegant Montecito Inn that was built in 1928 by the legendary Charlie Chaplin on the corner of San Ysidro Road and Coast Village Road before you explore the mix of high fashion and casual beach elegance at Angel, the younger and more hip of the four Wendy Foster stores at 1221 Coast Village Road. Happy Holidays! ­19

waterfront guide THE SANTA BARBARA CITY WATERFRONT Where you can shop, dine & play all day!

T

here’s something for everyone at the Santa Barbara City Waterfront, the breathtaking span of palm-lined beaches along Cabrillo Boulevard that border the world-famous Stearns Wharf and California’s oldest – and most beautiful - working harbor with the Santa Ynez Mountains backdrop that ensures plenty of photo-worthy moments as you stroll or peddle down the Cabrillo Bike path.

The Waterfront is blessed with three picturesque, golden sand beaches. east Beach, at 1440 Cabrillo Blvd., offers picnic facilities and more than a dozen volleyball courts on the beach. West Beach between Stearns Wharf and the harbor offers a picturesque sandy area for sunbathing, swimming, kayaking, wind surfing and beach volleyball on eleven acres adjoined by the wide palm tree lined walkway and bike path. The familyfriendly Leadbetter Beach between the harbor and Shoreline Park offers grassy picnic and barbecue sites and attracts windsurfers, catamaran pilots, surfers and walkers.

We recommend that you begin your waterfront adventure with a visit to the Santa Barbara Region of Commerce Visitor, open daily at the corner of Cabrillo Blvd and Garden Streets, where you can make reservations at hotels and restaurants and get directions and information about the area’s attractions and visitor-serving businesses.

The Waterfront offers a variety of ocean-going activities like coastal cruises, sailing, whale watching, fishing, kayaking, surfing and parasailing. And for those who prefer spend more time on land, the amphibious Land shark operated by Land & sea tours departs from State Street at Stearns Wharf at 12PM, 2PM and 4PM daily for a 90-minute fun-filled, narrated tour of historical landmarks that includes a cruise around the harbor and waterfront. The santa Barbara Zoo, just off Cabrillo Blvd at East Beach, is home to 160 species of mammals, reptiles, birds and insects on its 30 hilltop acres overlooking the Pacific Ocean. On Sundays, up to 200 resident artists display their original works under the palms along Cabrillo Blvd at the arts & Crafts show that is the only continuous, non-juried arts festival of drawings, paintings, graphics, sculpture, crafts and photography in the world.

The historic stearns Wharf – the longest and oldest working wooden wharf in California- is the most popular visitor attraction in the Santa Barbara area. Built in 1872 (Continuedononpage page30) 58) (Continued
