Our Gift to You: Great Gift IdeasThe holidays can be so contradictory. It seems the more options there are—whether for entertaining, dining, gift giving, celebrating, whatever—the more dif c lt it is to choose.
Giving the ideal gift can be s ch rewarding e perience, b t the an iety that comes with the search and ac isition can lead to last-min te, less-than-ideal choices. Boise Weekly wants this holiday season to be as special for yo as yo try to ma e it for those aro nd yo , and the vis ally stri ing yet handy Gift Guide 2015 yo hold in yo r hands is o r way of saying, Hey. We now yo care. We also now yo wor hard, and yo r time is precio s. Let s be yo r elves. Let s ta e some of the hassle o t of the holidays and help yo nd gifts for everyone on yo r list.
In this g ide, yo ll nd a range of items—s ggested by o r awesome advertisers—perfectly s ited for the people l c y eno gh to be on that list, li e
The neighbor who chec s yo r mail and feeds yo r cat when yo re on vacation.
The co-wor er who covers for yo when yo re o t of the of ce.
The niece or nephew who mows yo r lawn.
The spo se who doesn t complain when yo forget something at the store.
The teacher who gives yo r child e tra attention and time.
The sister who bro ght so p and ice when yo were sic in bed.
The parent who said, Go for it and didn t la gh when yo said yo wanted to follow yo r bliss.
The boss who too a chance on yo , even tho gh yo had no e perience.
The friend who will tell yo yo r new shirt doesn t wor on yo , b t yo r new eans ma e yo r b tt loo ama ing.
These people are important to yo , and yo re important to s, so we hope o r Gift Guide 2015 helps.
Happy Shopping!
