Your favorite go-to corner boutique in Santa Monica, the one with the colorful puzzles, eye-catching earrings, and softest lounge-around pants?
Or the restaurant you obsess over, the easygoing hangout making the fluffiest pancakes?
You've likely shared these special places with your pals, all to give the local gems some much-deserved love. In fact, you've probably given the love to lots of stores and eateries around area, the panache-packed places that bring personality to their blocks, streets, and neighborhoods.

Here's a way to take that love further while helping the fire-impacted families of Pali High: The monthly Locals' Night at Santa Monica Pier is asking that attendees pick up a gift card or two — think "shop small" spots and restaurants around the city — before stopping by Jan. 23.
The gift cards will be given to "families in need" from the Palisades area.
The always-free-to-join event actually starts in the afternoon and will feature DJ tunes, cookies, story fun, classic cars on display, and other uplifting activities.
Help "make a real difference," and spend some sweet time with friends and neighbors you haven't yet met, at this monthly to-do; the complimentary celebration is on each third Thursday through May at the world-famous pier.
