Puzzle it out ($28).

···············

“Sparkle, Neely, sparkle!” ($24).

······················

Nearby at Tecolote Book Shop:

Chaucer’s, Godmothers, The Book Den…. Whatever your favorite bookstore is, patronize it—books make great gifts. Here are two novels I’ve read recently and enjoyed—The Silver Book by Olivia Laing ($27) and Heart the Lover by Lily King ($28)—along with The Land in Winter by Andrew Miller ($27), which I can’t wait to start.

······················

Across the street, Eider Studio:

Makeup towels for people who have a lot of houseguests ($90).

···············

What could be sweeter than an adorable jam jar ($72)?

···············

Yuzu, the flavor of the decade, in incense form ($14).

···············

The thing about marriage is that you can give someone dish towels because you want them ($18).

······················

Followed by Heritage Goods & Supply:

Goat’s-milk soap in pretty little shapes ($10).

···············

Probably not what Ezra Klein has in mind, but worth a try ($23).

···············

Spread some seed ($5).

···············

Not recommended for Tippi Hendren ($10).

······················

And next, Emily Joubert:

An advent calendar—better late than never!—with Mariage Frères tea ($102), a fun way to sample different varieties.

···············

Or maybe hot chocolate is your beverage of choice ($20); pairs well with artisanal marshmallows ($15).

···············

When you got a fever and there’s only one prescription ($182)….

···············

Color someone beautiful with Marit Rae beaded bracelets ($32).

······················

And finally, Cheese Shop Santa Barbara:

Rock art (price upon request), with all proceeds going to a Santa Barbara County Education Office scholarship.

···············

Or as a friend calls it, The Thickening ($9). New Year’s resolutions are just around the corner….
