Holiday 2024

It’s our favorite time of year here at Concept Carmel, when we get to shout out all of the ways we’re proud to support Monterey Bay Area businesses by shopping local and shining a light on the folks doing important work here. And, nothing makes us prouder than making an impact in the lives of local families at the same time. After all, the true spirit of the season is giving. Read how, for “Formulating a Better World for New Parents,” we united our friends at the Food Bank for Monterey County with the Carmel-based CCO of infant formula brand Bobbie, for a donation that will serve hundreds of parents and children in Monterey County this season.

Plus, we’ve organized an epic holiday calendar, filled with exclusive discounts, IRL experiences, and seasonal specials at all your favorite businesses. These are deals and events you won’t find anywhere else — crafted just for you with a few surprises thrown in, too. (New events and offers drop right here all season long!) 

And, there’s so much more to explore. Happy holidays!
