This holiday season, we decided to create a series about shopping locally for everyone on your list. Each week, we’ll feature a fresh list of boutiques and stores in the area. This week, here are five items perfect for friends.

1. A game or puzzle from Games Unlimited

Games Unlimited has been around since 1978. They are firm believers there are games for everyone, no matter how many times you lost in Monopoly growing up. A game or puzzle is a great idea for your competitive, board game loving friend. For more information on Games Unlimited, click HERE.

2. A record or two from Dave’s Music Mine

Dave’s has been around since 1996. Their E Carson St. location is a great place to grab a record or two for your music-loving friend. Vinyl is all the rage again now so you’ll be quite the trendy friend! For more information on Dave’s Music Mine, click HERE.

3. Scrapbooking materials from Stamp Fanci

This stamp shop in West View is heaven for scrapbookers. If you have a friend who loves to commemorate everything in writing or through photos, getting them a class or two, or supplies to scrapbook could be a great way to ring in the holiday season for a good friend. For more information on Stamp Fanci, click HERE.
