The Santa Barbara South Coast Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the launch of a vibrant new campaign, “So Much To Love In Santa Barbara,” aimed at highlighting the community’s love for their city and highlighting the unique offerings of Santa Barbara.
The “So Much To Love in Santa Barbara” campaign showcases the best of Santa Barbara’s culture, history, and local events, inviting residents and visitors alike to celebrate and share their experiences. With a strong visual impact, the campaign will feature iconic landmarks, popular events, and compelling stories from the community who embody the spirit of Santa Barbara.

Beloved Friends,
It’s that time of year again—the Santa Barbara Independent’s Best of Santa Barbara® Readers’ Poll sbindependent is open, and we’re casting our votes to celebrate the local businesses that make our town so special!
We invite you to join us in lifting up the independent spirit of Santa Barbara. Every nomination is a love note to the small businesses that pour their hearts into what they do—and your support means the world.
We’d be honored if you’d consider nominating Paradise Found for Best Gift Shop in 2025!
For 39 years, we’ve been a neighborhood hub—a place to find the perfect gift, connect with kindred spirits, and explore the tools, books, and treasures that inspire your spiritual path.
✨Paradise Found is many things✨
We are a shop that makes our town feel like home, a place where all are welcome, where our customers share with us the most significant moments in their live: births, marriages, times of love, joy, grief, and all of the very human situations that arise.
We are like a hardware store for the spiritually inclined, providing tools, pathways, information, and a buffet of the world’s spiritual wisdom for your exploration, enrichment, and personal practice.
Whether it is a gift for your BFF, an anniversary present, a candle for a celebration of life, a birthday card or a pouch of crystals hand picked for a specific situation, we’ve got you covered.
Thank you for showing us that you love to gather here, discover new books, find special gifts, and connect with each other and find community.
✨All of us at Paradise Found would like to invite you to join us in this exciting journey. Thank you for considering Paradise Found in this community poll.✨
