Don’t look now, but the year is nearly over. If you’re like most of us here at Boise Weekly, you could have sworn it was July just the other day and have no idea where September went. Here’s an even more

sobering thought: The holidays are roughly one month away.Calm down and keep breathing—Boise Weekly has your back. You just

happen to be holding the offi cial BW guide to holiday gift buying. That’s right, we’ve once again set out on a mission to bring you some of the most fantastic/unusual/interesting/beautiful/useful/tasty/fun/wacky gifts to be found in the Boise area. From toys and games to clothing and home decor to experiences for those who have everything to charities that help those who have nothing, we’ve done all the hard work for you.

As usual, we assembled a long list of worthy gift ideas, but after much con-sternation, we were forced to winnow it down to our top picks representing a wide range of interests to help you fi nd something for everyone on your list.

Just like last year, this list of gift ideas was complied by the BW editorial staff, which means whether a business placed an ad in this section had nothing to do with what we chose to include. And as usual, all of these gifts are avail-able at locally owned and operated businesses, continuing BW’s dedication to the buy-local movement.

If you need more information on where you can pick up these fabulous gifts, turn to the back of this guide to fi nd a business directory chock-full of all the details you need to complete your holiday shopping.

Now go forth and start checking things off your list. —Deanna Darr
