About Local Gift
No more 'Will they like this?'
No more panic over getting it on time.
No more waste or gifts of burden.
We're Keeping It Really Local Right Now
During pre-launch, Local Gift will only be offering gifting services to friends & family in the Santa Barbara area. If you've received a Local Gift, please redeem it here. If you want to gift someone in the area, please reach out to us through our concierge service.
Megan Mahdavi, Founder and CEO
For Megan Mahdavi, giving gifts is a love language. She understands firsthand the joy of offering a meaningful, personal present—especially one that supports a local small business. Local Gift, a unique gifting service and natural extension of Mahdavi's work in community advocacy, puts a spotlight on the joy of giving—and why it's important to support our neighbors.
Give a Gift They'll Love
We recognize that life is a gift — one made joyfully possible because of the people in it.
Which is why we've created the ultimate gifting service featuring small, local businesses with gifts that speak to a range of interests, tastes, and occasions. Unique treasures, luxurious services, and inspired experiences that capture the flavors and joys of the places we live in and love.
With this curated catalog, gift givers can discover all an area has to offer, and create a “choose your own adventure”-style gift for anyone in their life.
It's gifting with meaning.
It's giving choice.
It's building community.
It's supporting local.
