With the holidays around the corner we want to encourage our readers to think about shopping small this season and supporting the small businesses and mom and pop shops that make Burbank the community we love. Many of these businesses are brick and mortar stores or at home businesses all based out of Burbank.
If you are a small Burbank business and would like to feature a gift idea on this list, email aerikson@myburbank.com. We will be continuing to update this list up until December 23, 2022.
