We may not have a white Christmas in San Luis Obispo County, but whether you are buying presents for your in-town friends or to bring home for the Holidays, we have some pretty neat places to find unique gifts that are sure to please everyone from little sis to gramps and grandma. Here are a few places to consider:

Ann's (Contemporary Clothing for Women)

What makes Ann's so unique is that the store, and its owner Ann Reeves started right here in San Luis Obispo. You can find everything from evening wear to casual fall and winter fashions from top designers, as well as a beautiful selection of jewelry, but what will impress you the most is the friendly and knowledgable staff. These gals know everything, so don't be afraid to ask! [View Virtual Tour]

Boo Boo Records (New and Used CD's, Tapes & Records)

The gift of music is one of the best things you can give. Whether your music lover is into Wayne Newton or Weather Report, Boo Boo Records has the best selection in San Luis Obispo. You can flip through their collection of new cds, or visit the vinyl room for that hard-to-find copy of Sgt. Peppers. They have a huge selection of music ranging from rock, hip-hop, soul and reggae, as well as an entire room dedicated to jazz, classical and world music. Be sure to visit Boo Boo Records if music is what you're planning on giving. [View Virtual Tour]
