RECORD EXCHANGE: YOUR LAST-MINUTE DESTINATION FOR DELICIOUS GIFTAGE AND A WARM SLICE OF HOLIDAY SANITY
Ah, the holidays. When they hit, they hit fast and hard. WHAM!
Suddenly, it’s time to start shopping before it’s too late.
Maybe you’ve avoided going to the mall (thank you), maybe you’re a procrastinator, maybe you’re picky … whatever the case, when it comes to last-minute shopping, The Record Exchange is the convenient, stress-free Christmas miracle you’ve been seeking.
The Record Exchange is downtown. It’s unique. It’s funky. And it’s full of more gift ideas than we should be able to cram into our square footage, but we manage to do it anyway.
And we’re more than a music store — one look inside Downtown Boise’s Biggest and Best Gift Shop and that’s easy to see. Whether it’s a gag White Elephant or office gift, a stocking stuffer or two to top off the sock, a $10 CD for your weird uncle, whatever — chances are The Record Exchange has it, and we’ll have it right up to the zero hour on Christmas Eve.
We also have a full espresso and soda bar, breakfast burritos, sushi and other snacks to keep you upright and energized. In short, The Record Exchange is exactly what Kenny G blows his horn about this time of year.
