We’re lucky to have an abundance of locally-owned stores in all corners of Philadelphia. Whether you’re looking for presents for kids, friends, your partner, or family, we found stores and markets that will have something for everyone. Many of these places sell locally made gifts, so not only are you supporting local store owners, you’re also supporting local makers! Thanks to the members of the Philly Family Community who helped us come up with this list.  Happy shopping!
