2010 Shop-Local Gift Guide: The Final Installment

LA LUMIA
• The leather bags are 30% off, so the LaLu Leathers flower tote at right, normally $695, is $487. The small beaded bag in front is $85.
• Scarves in a rainbow of colors ($39).
• This design on this silver bracelet ($240) by Rachel Bertoni is available in earrings and necklaces, and also in gold.

TENT AND TRAILS
• My partner bought the largest trapper hat I’ve ever seen, and then he was shocked that it had real fur. Here’s a fake-fur one ($33).
• And this one’s ear flaps button under the chin ($45). No one wants a chilly wattle.
• Vests are forever awesome ($90).

MANHATTAN BOOKS
• Teach your kids to knit now ($22.50), and perhaps they’ll make you socks to keep you warm when you’re living in an underheated nursing home. (It’s possible I’m hitting a gift-guide wall.) Manhattan Books also sells lots of yarn.
• Gorgeous Quattro sketchpads in various sizes.
The Big Book of Gross Stuff ($16) pairs nicely with a box of gummy Boogers from the Balloon Saloon.

LANGDON FLORIST
• I love paperwhites! I bought some while at Langdon. I thought I was told they were $35, but I evidently preferred the more expensive option ($50). I happens a lot.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

CAPITAL AUDIO ELECTRONICS
• Dr. Dre headphones? Who knew? Actually, the guy buying them while I was at Capital knew, but he appeared to be buying them—and immediately putting them on—so as not to engage with people like me.
• FoxL’s tiny speakers give great sound, or so I hear.
