Here's an unusual gift: bring back the bay to those who couldn't join you. SF Salt mines salt from San Francisco Bay to make bath salts, adding only essential oils and/or fragrances. The 'detox soak,' made with lavender oil, rosemary oil and sea kelp, is especially appealing. After being surrounded by dense crowds at the Wharf, you're gonna need it.
