A Gift Guide for Those Who Have Everything
When speaking of recipients who “have it all,” we are really talking about two kinds of people — those who love stuff and have lots of stuff already and minimalists who already possess the essentials and don’t seem to want anything more (hint: the keyword here is “seem”!) In this article, we’ll show you how to shop for the perfect gift for both the collectors and the scrupulous people on your list!
Purchase a Handcrafted Gift
When it comes to unique gifts, handcrafted is the way to go. The handmade nature of these items often means that no two will be alike. And since they are not mass-produced, they are also often available in extremely limited quantities.
Sparrow 5
Visit Sparrow 5 for a wide selection of gifts from local artisans and makers! We adore this cute puppy light and this industrial style metal puppy, which we think would make a wonderful gift for the dog lover!

Master Jewelers
The jewelers at Master Jewelers specialize in custom-made jewelry. Bring in your “designed from the heart” jewelry creation and they can get it made for you! Or if you’ve found a treasured old piece of jewelry that needs some polishing or repair, they do that, too!
Noel Flynn Gallery & Frame Factory
A custom framed photograph or hand-drawn art makes a thoughtful gift to cherish forever. Noel Flynn Gallery & Frame Factory offers hundreds of framing options, so you’ll be sure to find the right one to complement the image and your recipient’s decor style!
Blue Line Arts
Blue Line Arts is also selling many pieces of artwork from their exhibitions. All one-of-a-kind originals! They have a dedicated “Handmade for the Holidays” shop which is a specially curated collection of Christmas gifts! We love the unique geometric wire jewelry by Emilie Prichard (earrings shown below!)

Vintage, Rare, and Sustainable Finds
It can be a challenge to find a gift for a fashionista or decor maven who already possesses a collection that’s filled to the brim with spectacular pieces. In that case, we highly recommend shopping at a secondhand store!
Threads Clothing Exchange
At Threads Clothing Exchange, you are likely to find something unique that will surprise her because it’s not currently sold in stores! Our writer recently scored a chic vintage chocolate brown suede coat that is both on-trend and timeless! And there’s definitely more where that one came from...did you notice their collection of Louis Vuitton and Chanel bags?

The Robin’s Nest
For home goods, we suggest The Robin’s Nest. We often promote this store because they are constantly bringing in new merchandise! And yes, they have a clothing section, too!

Take Them Out for Food
This is an excellent gift idea for recipients who value an experience more than stuff. Food is consumable, shareable and, did we mention...delicious?
Some of our restaurants are even serving up holiday specials. Try Goose Port’s special holiday drinks which include Mistletoe Mimosa, Christmas Margarita, Boozy Hot Cocoa, and more! And how about The Trax Taproom and Kitchen’s new food and cocktail menu?

A Gift Card (or a Gold Gift Coin)
If you are unsure exactly what to give, a gift card is always a safe choice. Our Downtown Roseville boutiques have gift cards available for their products and services.
We are delighted by Daniello’s offering of gift cards in the form of gold coins sold in $50 denominations. A classy idea that perfectly aligns with their brand!

Donate to a Charity or Non-Profit in Honor of a Loved One
This is the perfect gift for someone in your life who puts others above themselves. Many Downtown Roseville charities, such as The Salvation Army, accept donations in honor or in memory of someone! Donate on their behalf to a charity that is important to them!
