During the winter holidays, visit the Pike Place Market if you are in Seattle. If you can't get to the Emerald City, then take a virtual visit. Looking at the Pike Place Market shops helps inspire Christmas and holiday gift and activity ideas.
If you like international and fair trade items, then visit Hands of the World. Located one level below street level, this colorful shop and helpful staff create a place to shop and learn. Many items come from women's co-ops around the world. These unique designs and items make interesting and useful gifts. Scarves, mittens, wooden flutes, "rain" toys: these just begin to describe the items available.
My personal favorites are the jewelry pieces, especially the pendants. I've purchased a few pendants there, and always receive compliments on them.
