It is the thought that counts, so the saying goes. More than ever this year, the holidays are a time to reflect on the things we hold dear. Make your holiday shopping a thoughtful experience for your family, your “framily,” your pod – however you define your loved ones.

Located less than 20 miles from Santa Monica, Malibu feels like a world away. What better place to escape for a day – visit the beaches, go for a hike, and then enjoy a lobster roll, before discoverin­g all your gift- giving needs in the open air, creekside setting at Malibu Village.

A collection of local boutiques and iconic brands delivers the best of Malibu in one place. Shop bespoke gifts from local makers and curators, such as classic apparel from Levi’s and contempora­ry designer finds at Fred Segal. Find the perfect gift for the surfer on your list at Catch Surf, unique home goods for the California dreamer at Surfing Cowboys, or a one- of- a- kind hat from modern milliner Teressa Foglia. Fuel your shopping trip with a dozen on the half shell from local- favorite Broad Street Oyster Co. and coffee from micro roastery Joules & Watts ( where you can also treat yourself to a scoop of Nancy Silverton’s own gelato).

Throughout this holiday season, Malibu Village will have

socially- distanced activities every weekend. Join us for everything from flower arranging demonstrat­ions and live music to self- service photo- opportunit­ies and more. And in the spirit of giving, and giving back, there will be plenty of chances to engage with local philanthro­pic organizati­ons.

Malibu, California has captured the world’s imaginatio­n since the early days of Hollywood glamour, the rise of surf culture in the 1950s, and the pop culture phenomena of Frankie and Annette and the Beach Boys. Today, it is a thriving community with year- round healthy, outdoor activities. People come for the glamour, the beach, the mountains, and the laidback lifestyle. It is a scene that does not disappoint, and Malibu Village is at the heart of it all.
