It’s Christmas (All The) Time at the Holiday Shoppe

Sausalito Holiday Snowglobe from the Holiday Shoppe

Looking for a seasonal ornament with more pizzazz than a run-of-the-mill reindeer? Why not a glittery firefighter or cowboy merman, or maybe a Santa bulldog?

Whether it’s an unforgettable bit of kitsch or a classic Christopher Radko, whose decorations have graced the White House and homes of celebs like Oprah and Elton John, you can find it all here, March or December.

Owned and operated by husband and wife Marty and May Rafii for the past 25 years, the Holiday Shoppe on Bridgeway has one of the largest collections of everything Christmas in the Bay Area, including an impressive stock of San Francisco, Sausalito and Napa snow globes, which are among the best sellers.
