If you CAN, utilizing these options are a fantastic way to support your community and help these businesses stay afloat. All while we are all quarantined. In fact, it’s a great way to let a loved one know you’re thinking of them from afar.

Looking to send a friend who’s celebrating a birthday while in quarantine a care package? Or, a simple “just because” gift? Or – do you just want to treat yourself? Because damn it, if you don’t deserve it now, then when would you?

AWESOME. So I’ve put together a list of ideas below. Including themed care packages you can create with goods from your local businesses who need your support. But if you’re unsure of what to get for a friend, remember that most businesses are also offering gift cards at this time. And are a huge help, too. We love you, Los Angeles!
