Give the Gift of… Gifts

I had a weird Christmas ritual as a kid: Every year I would leave one piece of candy or small toy in my stocking at the end of the holiday, to be discovered the next year when it came time to hang the old sock next to the replace It was a present to myself and a way to plant the seed of excitement for the following year’s Christmas, even before the tinsel came down on the current one

Of course, I had to pick something I would forget about during the next 12 months and maybe it was wilful memory loss, but I always did forget

Aside from giving me practice with self-delusion, that ritual introduced me to the idea that I could be Santa Claus—and that giving is way more fun that receiving, even when you’re playing both parts

Boise Weekly wants to help you be the best Santa possible with our annual Gift Guide—chocked full of items from local retailers for friends, family, neighbors, co-workers… and maybe even yourself

One thing’s for certain: Fill your shopping list from these pages, and no one will forget what they got from you

appy shopping and, more importantly, happy holidays

A beloved book gets a new life, and you get a unique gift item.

Sometimes the simplest gifts are the most sublime.

Wine, one of the best presents, just became one of the easiest to give.

Made from Sunkist cans, this is recycling at its most adorable.
