The holiday season has arrived, with twinkling lights and wreaths popping up on what seems to be every corner. The shopping lists have started to be compiled, and there is no better feeling than being able to check-off the names of friends and family. We have put together a list of small boutiques and independent shops in Tijuana that will help get those lists completed with unique and beautiful gifts for everyone— from the hostess with the mostest, to the coffee lover, and design-forward loved ones in your life.

The perfect excuse to visit Tijuana, explore new dining spots, and do a little shopping for one-of-a-kind gifts that support small creative businesses.

Object

Combines independent Mexican design and fashion, with stunning pieces to wear or dress-up your home. I dare you to try and leave without a little something for yourself.

Bonus: Object is hosting their Nero 48 pop-up from Dec 1-2. You’ll be able to meet designers, drink mexican wine, eat food under a family-friendly ambience.

Mexican Wine Shops

Mexican wine, and Baja craft beer are here to make those spirits bright. Grab a bottle to gift the host at your next holiday get-together at GSalinas Enoteca in La Cacho. La Contra is another favorite wine shop that we love to visit in Tijuana. Load up those holiday baskets with an amazing bottle of Baja wine, craft beer, or mezcal. (only 1 liter p/person is allowed to cross into the US)

Mercado Hidalgo

The spot in Tijuana to not only grab all of your necessities, for your posadas, and holiday parties (hello, piñatas!). We also love to pick up everything from Mexican candy, to serving plates and spoons and fill up gift baskets.

For the coffee lover in their life, and perhaps that’s even you. Small-batch roasted Mexican coffee beans are the gift that keeps on giving, and guaranteed to help you jumpstart your holiday season.
