We found parking and it was really nice,” said San Jose resident Chris Levy.According to the National Retail Federation, the top five gifts people are buying this year are clothing, toys, gift card, books and food. People also aren't just headed to department stores as they’re also shopping local. In San Jose’s Willow Glen neighborhood, store owners were happy to see customers pour in.
