Christmas Shopping on Sutter St. In Folsom Ca

Great Places to Find Unique Gifts
When my kids were young we used to take them to Historic Folsom and let them buy one ornament each for the Christmas tree during December. Each child would select from the array of ornaments at one of the many shops on Sutter St. and invariably would select the first one they were attracted to. Christmas in Folsom includes old fashioned things like Santa riding throughout the neighborhoods on a fire truck, tossing candy canes out to the children and watching the Christmas tree being lit in old town on Wool St.
Last Saturday American Visions Art Gallery hosted a reception to meet Cao Yong, an artist who commands upwards of $85,000 per original painting. This Sutter St. gallery focuses on international artists but Giovanna also opens her doors to up and coming local artists. When I was involved with the Folsom Arts Association I met a number of local artists in town and a couple have held workshops at their studios this past month to make Christmas gifts. Another great idea to think about when looking for that special gift.
Of course Christmas isn’t complete without chocolate and Snooks offers the best on Sutter St. I was hosting a dinner party and needed favors and nothing says welcome like a truffle from Snooks. My husband is hooked on their Unbearably Hot Cinnamon Bears. Strolling down Sutter St. you’ll find jewelry stores, antique shops, coffee bars, a wine tasting room and more. All offer great gift wraps and supporting the local merchants has always been my goal as a small business owner.
