Here's our list of Oakland independent businesses that offer gift cards. We like to recommend gift certificates to out-of-town family buying for their loved ones in Oakland. They are a also a great option when you are uncertain of exactly what someone may want. No matter your reason, it's far more meaningful to give a little local love - even in card format - than your big box generic alternatives.
