BOISE ART GLASS
Just call this place stocking-stuffer central. Seriously, get all your shopping done here in one place, from the big stuff to stocking stuff, big kids to little kids. We found a cool marshmallow-roasting tree for our camping crazy nephew that puts that old-school stick to shame. Cap guns and airsoft guns and boomerangs, too. Got campers, hikers or river runners on your list? How about a Pelican Box? They’re waterproof and guaranteed (“You break it, we replace it ... forever.”) and come in a variety of sizes from small for sunglasses and change, to the big 20-inch by 20-inch by 20-inch, with lots of in-between sizes for camera equipment or whatever you want to keep bone dr y. There’s also a huge selection of Dutch ovens, hats, watchcaps, raccoon tail caps, sailor caps, Civil War caps. And more, more, more. 4924 Chinden Blvd., Garden City, 208-322-0660.

Blow your friends and family away with a gift from Boise Art Glass. Choose from work by a dozen local artists, each with his or her own, unique style. And there’s a wide variety, too, from beautiful and delicate Christmas ornaments to magnets, figurines, wine glasses and delightfully gorgeous jellyfish lights to jawdropping chandeliers. “You’ll find something unique here that you won’t find at the mall,” said Filip Vogelpohl, owner and glass artist. And you’ll support local artists, which supports the community, to boot. Double bonus. Prices range from $5 to $6,000. Handblown Christmas ornaments and wine glass gift baskets are popular holiday items, or for a different Christmas gift, Boise Art Glass also offers classes in lampworking. Gift certificates are available. 530 W. Myrtle, 208-345-1825, boiseartglass.com.
