If you like to do your shopping in one fell swoop, head here and find locally made wood cribbage boards, a globe mobile that will give your family an edge in geography, how-to guides and cookbooks, plus exquisite crafts, tea, jewelry and candies (Hammond’s chocolate-filled candy canes are a stocking must!). Especially helpful is a largish section for men, particularly if yours is like mine: impossible to buy for.

This manly Dopp kit ($45) would make a welcome gift, perhaps stuffed with a handmade mustache comb, some Marvis toothpaste and these light and appealing unisex scents created by artisanal perfumer, West Third. Spruce is a natural at $28.
