Streets Dept Presents: The 2021 Made-In-Philly Holiday Gift Guide

Welcome to Streets Dept’s 2021 Made-in-Philly Holiday Gift Guide! With mail delays, supply chain issues, and all–now more than ever, please for the love of God and our city make sure every single one of the gifts you’re buying this holiday season comes from a local artist or shop. Every single one!

Below you’ll find the names and links of artists and shops that replied to my social media posts asking if any Philly folks had things to promote this holiday season. I encourage you to pour a glass a wine and take some time perusing each of the links that catches your eye.

Thank you for supporting Philly artists, now get to shopping!

*I’m sure y’all know, but the world is bananas right now. So if you’re ordering anything online, whether it be from one of the incredible local resources I’ve outlined above or some random Amazon-type place, shipping might be off. I’m saying this to reset your expectations. Things might not arrive quickly, so either order early or allow for the world to take a second. Better slower and supporting local folks than just barely quicker and supporting Bezos, am I right? Love y’all!
