The holiday season is almost here, which means that you’re likely making your list (and checking it twice!)

The team at PMI is here to support you this holiday season–and we went ahead and found some of the best-hidden gems and community shops to support this holiday season, located conveniently in the heart of the Phoenix Valley.
Read on to learn more about the best holiday spots to savor this season, and score the best deals around on unique, artisan pieces from creators in your community.
1. Gather PHX
Books, trinkets, and a near-endless collection of handcrafted skin and body care products. It doesn’t get much better than this! Gather PHX is your local spot for unique desert-inspired care products, nourishing your skin from the inside out and scenting it richly with light, floral, and woodsy tones so frequently found in the authentic Phoenix landscape. Treat yourself to some serious holiday indulgence, or shop your list and gift to your friends and local skin care enthusiasts. There’s no wrong way to savor these special skin treats!
Our favorites include the prickly pear cactus lip balm and the deeply-relaxing Desert Rain fragrance spray–transporting you to a revitalizing rainstorm over the plains of the rich Phoenix desert.
2. Local Nomad
This shop’s motto is to elevate your every day–and you can do just that with every product they sell. Local Nomad focuses on the simple, tangible luxuries of our collective human experience, perfecting them and creating true art with the most minimalist everyday-use items. Everything they sell is responsibly, intentionally, and sustainably sourced, making these pieces the perfect gifts for a conscious consumer in your life.
Our favorite gift options include every single piece in their ceramics collection, all of which are hand-thrown by local Phoenix artisans and experts prior to sale. Designs completely unique by piece, allowing you to walk away with a truly one-of-a-kind gift. Other gift options include small-batch fashion items, bath and spa items, and wellness supplements.
