IT’S NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER’S CHRISTMAS IN THE RX GIFT SHOP

Here at Downtown Boise’s Biggest and Best Gift Shop, we may champion the unconventional, but that doesn’t mean we’re a Scrooge about the holidays.

No, we like to celebrate the season, and celebrate it the only way we know how — funktastically. And that means unique, kooky, sometimes blush-inducing ornaments, decorations and greeting cards. And the Nightmare Before Christmas.

Now, as for gift-giving, there’s a reason it’s call a gift shop, and ours is chock full of ideas, including rock ‘n’ roll calendars, music tees and collectibles, jewelry, home wares, books, stocking surprises, goofy office gifts, action figures (now including Big Lebowski!), toys (including organic and BPA-free items!), board games, posters, stickers and much much more.

We have traditional stuff, too — so don’t let Jack Skellington or that Christmas card with the f-bomb scare you or Grandma away.

IN THE RECORD EXCHANGE GIFT SHOP: KNITWITS ANIMAL HATS AND GLOVES!

Winter is around the corner, and that brings cold weather and holiday wish lists. The Record Exchange has one fashionable solution to both: Delux Knitwits animal hats and gloves.

Delux Knitwits are made of 100-percent natural wool from New Zealand. Wool contains lanolin, which makes it water resistant and gives it a natural, self-cleaning effect.

Knitwits are made in a fair trade environment, and a portion of proceeds are donated to the community in which they were created.

NOW SERVING SUPERB SUSHI AT RX!

Superb Sushi is on in the Edge!

Idaho’s largest independent record store just got a little bit tastier with the arrival of Superb Sushi lunch boxes. The boxes include nine pieces of assorted sushi of the day, inari pocket (tofu pocket filled with veggies and rice), Asian slaw and a cup of miso soup all for $7.99! (Miso soup also is available separately for $1.99.) Vegetarian? There’s a meatless box for you, too!

In the future, we may be able to take special orders to be delivered to the Edge — so if you’re interested, let us know!

IN THE RECORD EXCHANGE GIFT SHOP: MISTY BENSON’S MORBIDLY ADORABLE STICKERS, JEWELRY AND FIGURINES!

The Record Exchange Gift Shop is Boise’s only retail outlet for Misty Benson’s Morbidly Adorable stickers, jewelry, magnets and figurines!

This Idaho artist has a devoted online following and shows her work at the San Diego Comic-Con. Most recently, her contribution to the 2010 Munny Silent Auction Fundraiser brought in the highest bid of the auction, drawing online bids from as far away as the Netherlands.
