Staff Picks for Holiday Gifts
Posted on December 19 2025
Newport Beach is especially festive this time of year, but the real heart of the season is found in the thoughtful exchanges between neighbors and friends. At Seaside Gallery and Goods, we believe a gift is more than just an item—it’s a way to say 'I see you' and 'I appreciate you.' This Christmas, shop locally and support the incredible female makers in our community and beyond. We’ve hand-picked a selection of items, both holiday and non-holiday-themed, that helps you share a piece of our town with the people you love most.
