2025 Holiday Gift Guide to Shopping Fresno/Clovis Small Businesses
Gift local this season — here are my favorite Fresno/Clovis small businesses!
Gift Card for a Cooking Class from DeFrancesco’s Kitchen:
Vicki’s classes are my absolute favorite way to get together with loved ones, learn something new, and share a meal together. Vicki is so talented and the best coach, I’m a novice in the kitchen and can now make ravioli from scratch which is a gosh darn miracle.
To buy your private in-home cooking experience, please contact Vicki DeFrancesco (559) 269-5231 | defrancescos.info@gmail.com
Good Dirt Collective/Good Dirt Pottery:
Set of handmade ceramic napkin rings
These match with everything and are perfect for hosting. I used mine to host a growers' dinner and plan to use again for Christmas with some of their gorgeous gingham linens. Each piece is made by a young woman who has aged out of the foster care system and now supporting herselfGood Dirt Collective’s mentor/entrepreneurship program!
How to Buy: Shop in person at Good Dirt Collective
3009 W Bullard Ave Fresno, CA
Kristen Prieto Photography Family Session:
Family Session Gift Certificate
Family photos are one of those things that you will thank yourself a million times for later. Pre-purchasing a gift certificate for someone (a really good grandparent gift!) takes that step out of the way so they can easily schedule the photos when the perfect kiddo stage hits.
How to Buy: Email Kristen through her website.
Enzo’s Table Almond Butter:
We all know and love the olive oil, but I’m telling you, try the almond butter. Pure local goodness, no yucky fillers.
How to Buy: Shipping is available via their online shop, or stop in at their gorgeous new shop on Shepherd and Willow (any excuse to also grab a honey latte!)
Shoppe at the Avenue:
Vintage wax poured candle
Beautiful on the table or mantle to cozy up the winter months and add some sparkle on foggy days.
How to Buy: The vintage sourced wax candles are only available in the Shoppe (map here!), but so many other treasures are available online if you can’t make it in.
Casa Quinn:
Stop by her booth at Chesterfield’s Antiques and pick out a one of a kind treasure! Last year I found a beautiful vintage game table for my husband who loves a good game of chess. Cece also has an amazing Substack where she finds amazing insights on antique sourcing and home decorating: subscribe here!

Smith & Len:
My favorite go-to scrunchie, the prettiest color and so soft. I always have one on my wrist or in my hair! She also has wooden garlands (reusable, WIN!) available at Shoppe at the Avenue until supplies run out!
The Wardrobe Dept:
Custom Color Consultation Gift Certificate
This is such a fun gift - all of my friends have gotten their colors done and it’s completely changed the way they shop and even choose makeup. Brooke is a magician! Email her at wardrobedeptcv@gmail.com to request a gift certificate.
La Dama Salon:
Grab a gift card to use on a hair treatment or a treat from the product shelf.
Jess’ salon is an absolute haven for self care. Blowouts, brows, conditioning treatments…you can’t go wrong with a gift certificate to treat the special women in your life. Gift certificates available to purchase at the salon on Shepherd & Willow.
The Farmer Florist:
Oh hi, it’s me ;) I’m offering potted paperwhites as holiday gifts this year! Find them HERE and choose between a handpicked vintage crystal or enamel bowl. These should bloom between Christmas and NYE and bring some botanical cheer to the misty grey winter days. Plant the bulbs in your garden after they’ve put on their show and they’ll come back for you next winter! Xoxo!
If you have a loved one that’s been dreaming of a garden but needs some help making it happen, I’m offering a few Garden Consultations for January and February 2026. More info here, would make such a sweet gift for anyone who loves gifting experiences.
