Stuff your stockings with some local gift cards this holiday season

Stuff your stockings with some local gift cards this holiday season

Dec 9, 20204 min read

It’s the season of giving, a reason for gifting, and quite honestly, a time to be happy with those that you love — no gifts are needed for that.

However, plenty of local restaurants and businesses are offering deals on gift cards this holiday season, gifting you an opportunity to enjoy what the city of Tucson has to offer.

So, keep in mind, these aren’t all of the gift cards making their rounds through the town, but they’re a good start if you’re struggling on what to get your third cousin, twice removed for the holidays. Additionally, if gift cards aren’t your thing, Desert Provisions is spreading the holiday cheer with its Holiday Gift Sets.

More about Matt

At a very young age, Matt Sterner was gifted with the artistic ability to masterfully roll a burrito to the highest of standards, but the wrapped medley of delicious innards wasn’t his first love. Matt’s first true love was a combination of reading, writing, and creating. He grew up reading comics, the ingredients list of his shampoo and conditioner bottles, choose-your-own-adventure books, and the Scrabble dictionary — something he found useful when challenging his grandmother to a game.

He attended college at New Mexico State University and graduated with a degree in Digital Filmmaking. One of his favorite classes was screenwriting because he became responsible for the story’s birth before it came to life on-screen. After school, Matt took on numerous positions at a local television station in Tucson. From dealing out stories about heartbreak to producing “fluffier” content for a lifestyle broadcast, he learned what it takes to adapt to the many emotions the world of media can stir. Since 2017, Matt has dabbled in the culinary world of Tucson as well as San Diego, California from time to time.

If you’re in the mood for strange stories, head over to his pride and joy, wonkytimes.com. And in case you’re curious — yes, after all of this time, he still manages to roll a killer burrito.

“Opening this place feels a little surreal. To now have a space where we can bring together coffee, food, art, booze, and all the weird things we love feels like a reflection of how far we’ve come.” —Tyler Melo
