Palm Springs will celebrate its 75th anniversary in April — and The Desert Sun wants to help showcase what’s best about our city.
We need your help to rank the Top 10 gifts for the Palm Springs area.
We have so many great artists, chefs and visionaries who set up shop at the Village Fest, the Street Fair at College of the Desert, the Palm Springs Open Air Market, in small businesses or on their own Facebook pages.
What gifts scream “Palm Springs” to you? Do you have any specific souvenirs that you’d recommend a visitor search out?

We’ll get the ball rolling — but hope you’ll chime in via the comments below:
- Brandini Toffee, the delicious candy started by La Quinta students
- Dates from Shields Date Garden
- “Some Like It Hot” poster by Palm Springs artist Snake Jagger
- Sue’s Tin Can Art, candle holders made using a blow torch on veggie and soup cans
Now it’s your turn!
Add your gift ideas in the comment section below. In a week, we’ll let you vote to determine the Top 10 gifts for Palm Springs.
We’ll publish the Top 10 list as part of a special package slated to be published in early April.
