How this list works

Every gift below is something you can buy from a San Francisco shop in this guide. Each price was checked on the shop's own site on October 30, 2026, and we left out anything sold out. Prices and stock change through the season, so the shop's page always has the final word.

Hayes Valley: San Francisco in small gifts

Orange Bird (564 Hayes St) has a whole San Francisco and California section. Our picks: City Eats: San Francisco and Date Night: San Francisco, a San Francisco tea towel, By Aleisha's icon pencil pouch, magnets, Golden Gate keychain and Lombard Street postcard, a yellow-house sticker by Brenna Daugherty Illustration, and Sunshine Studios' California candle.

Union Street: paper and journals

TopDrawer (1840 Union St) sells notebooks, journals and travel goods. For the writer or sketcher: a Midori MD notebook, an A4 drawing book, a Hudson photo album, or the Paper Republic starter set as a splurge.

For more ideas, see our Hayes Valley and Union Street pages.
