Holiday 2007
Generosity shouldn't mean giving amply, but giving aptly. Show how thoughtful (not how thrifty) you are by giving a truly distinctive gift, while still staying within your means. These fun goodies were all found in stores around town, and all cost less than $25.

Owner Marques Warren hit upon a much needed niche when he opened his Bellevue Square shop filled with upscale men's accessories this past October. If you're ever in a quandary about gift-giving for your man, this is the spot to visit. The shop evokes a masculine, drawing-room vibe filled with objects and accessories he'd be happy to own.

Every once in a while you find something that meets the criteria of the perfect gift: It comes in different styles for everyone on your list, it's something that will make the recipient smile and think of you each time they use it, and it's amazingly affordable. The miracle gift? Pocket mirrors from My Favorite Mirror.

Say, here's an idea: Why not give a present that has to be experienced? Seattle is nothing if not an active town, and its residents love to go out and enjoy its natural and man-made attractions. They love spa days, live theater and interacting with nature. Why not give holiday gifts that enable your fellow Seattleites to do what they do best?

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a Holga from OKOK Gallery. The Holga, a cheap plastic camera that shoots medium-format film, is not a precision instrument; you could shoot the same photo with a hundred different Holgas and not get any two shots that resemble one another.

The Greenwood Space Travel Supply Co. is the kind of novelty shop that sells imagination. As far as I'm concerned, this truly is a space-travel supply store, my first stop for rocket fuel, stun guns and do-it-yourself intergalactic treaties.
