Still scrambling for a holiday gift? Don’t panic! It’s not too late to grab something special from a local shop in Salt Lake. Here’s your last-minute gift guide for the people on your list.
For the Crafter
Has someone in your life started a new craft? Encourage their creativity with a bundle of supplies. Bonus: many of these stores also offer classes/workshops to help them level up their skill set.
- Ceramic Supply has clay and pottery tools for the aspiring sculpture artist.
- Sewtopia or Salt Lake Sewciety is fab for fabrics and sewing supplies.
- Handwork or Knitting Hive has you covered on yarn.
- Handcraft Revival is a craft store and maker’s space in one.
For the Green Thumb
Mother Plants & Goods is a hidden gem inside Church & State that has a great selection of succulents and plants. Or find something lush and green at Plant Jungle in Holladay.
For the Workaholic
For the person who works too hard, give the gift of relaxation.
- Head spas have been popping up all over Utah and for good reason, who doesn’t want someone to massage their head for an hour? I’ve tried Holi Head Spa and it was divine.
- Buccal massage at Glo Spa is perfect for the stressed out people with TMJ. It’s kinda weird because they massage the inside of your mouth to target the muscles around your jaw but it really does a number on the tension.
- Facials feel like a real treat and the essential facial at Aveda Landis Lifestyle Salon in Marmalade is so luxurious. It even comes with a complimentary hand, foot, or scalp massage.

For the Book Worm
We have so many wonderful independent bookstores in Salt Lake. Gift someone the best book you read this year or a book that reminded you of them. When in doubt, get them a tote for hauling around all. those. books.
For Families
Gift a Get Out Pass to families with kids. It provides access to dozens of museums, attractions, and outdoor spaces across Utah so they can make memories all year long.
