With 83 Carlsbad businesses to choose from, Gift Carlsbad can take care of all of your holiday shopping needs. When you by a $25 gift card you'll get a $5 bonus gift card; spend $40 and get $10, and spend $75 and get $25. The great thing is not only do you get a bonus, but the participating businesses receive the full amount weekly and don't have to wait until the card is redeemed. It's an instant stimulus for the small businesses you love so much in Carlsbad.

Handel's Ice Cream, Status Skateshop, Park 101, Gelato Love, Carlsbad Village Music, Village Rock Shop, The Goods Doughnuts, Senor Grubby's, and so many more.
