Rare-earth magnets are a little girl’s best friend, especially when girls can attach a pretty picture or saying glazed inside a bottle cap to a stretchy necklace. Strands cost $7 each, and the bottle cap works of art are interchangeable, so grab a few at $5 a piece. Wandering Daisy, 326 S. Main St., Breckenridge. (970) 547-8044.
