Cool souvenir shop in Downtown Boise! Idaho is super famous for their farm fresh potatoes. Their…read morecapital city, Boise is known as the City of Trees. This is the store for t-shirts, mugs, knick knacks, snacks, postcards, and more Boise, ID memorabilia. On Saturday afternoon, a kind gal was at the counter and she showed me the ladies sizes on the floor. In the front wall, there are many samples of numbered t-shirts. Behind her at the counter cubbies, there shirts in several colors available to be pressed with the design of your choice. We chose two womens designs and one men's designs and these were pressed right in front of us. Aside from shirts, we got other goodies as well. I've already written out and mailed most of the postcards we purchased and added things to my little scrapbook. Nice store to visit and shop for Boise, ID stuff!

I love the name, so I stopped in. Yes, there were tater-themed souvenirs including potato-shaped…read moresoap and even candy. Custom t-shirts seem to be their specialty-they have a few shirts on display and you can request a specific size or color and they can whip it up for you onsite. It's a small store, but packs a pretty decent punch with their Idaho and potato centric novelty items. If you're in town and need something to take home to the family, Taters is worth a visit.

The only part I'm sad about is they don't have a website I can shop! There were some really neat things in store I would definitely buy and have shipped because they wouldn't fit in my suitcase.

I'm a huge sci-fi fan and love all things Star Trek and Star Wars. Seeing life-sized cutouts of Kirk and Spock definitely sets the mood. The captain's chair was roped off when I was there, so I didn't get a chance to sit in it...bummer. But it was still cool to browse and shop with the crew of the Starship Enterprise. As a lovely parting gift, my cousin bought me a Boise High Life T-shirt there. Next time I'm in Boise, I'll be back (although I don't remember seeing any Terminator stuff there but there very well might have been some!).

I feel a bit embarrassed that it took me so long to check out this incredible shop. A whole…read moredowntown location filled with 100% local, hand-crafted gems? Sign me up! Located on 6th street, this shop is your one stop shop for all things Idaho, handmade and incredibly special. You can find blown glass, textiles, soaps, lotions, chocolate, peanuts, ornaments, shave oils, cutting boards, games, mugs, vases, ornaments and so much more. Most of my favorite makers were there (think Ladybug Press, Sawtooth Glass Project, City Peanut Shop, All Spun Up, Sage Woolens, etc.) It felt like a holiday craft bazaar that is open year round and housing the very best products. I found the selection to be varied and affordable. You could find things for men, women, children, pets and even yourself! It bears repeating that you are paying for handcrafted, small-business wares. It is not going to have the same price tag as a manufactured good from a big box store. It will be a higher price tag. I like to think that I'm paying for a story. My purchased items contain all the love, hope, and hard work that each maker poured into their product. I love to give handmade stuff for gifts and I think they are appreciated a lot more than something I could ship from Amazon. The shop keepers were lovely. I think they are some of the makers, but it was so very busy when I went in that I didn't want to bog them down with conversation. If you are looking for special presents, this is the place to go. Enjoy all the treasures.

A scavenger hunt I was on, brought me past Indie MADE, which is located in Old Boise. One look in…read morethe window and I couldn't resist stopping in. A gift shop of the highest order. Local everything. Indie everything. Shirts, hats, amazing hand crafted jewelry, belt buckles, locally made candles. Honestly, you could spend far too long in here. I mean, they had a leather growler holder for your bike! Or, a similarly made wine bottle holder! Seriously? I need both of those items. Depending on the day. I found a locally made birthday card for a friend (made by local biz Rainbow Sprinkles). Prices aren't cheap, but what you might expect for quality products (the birthday card was $3--which seemed completely reasonable). If you're shopping for someone, and aren't entirely sure what to get them--come here. So many unique, thoughtful gift ideas, you'll be inspired. Get to it!

Opened October 2019 this little local convenience market featuring local producers is getting…read morebetter all the time, including more selection in freezer case of local rancher / farmer animal proteins from top quality, pasture raised and sustainable husbandry producers like Malheur River and McIntyre Family. Although this is 30 minutes from our front door, it is our go to when we're looking for pastured pork or poultry products. (We don't eat beef but they have that too.) If they had a good selection of local lamb cuts it would be golden for us - our favorite protein - but it is a harder sell for them so they carry less. (Americans consume on average only 1 pound of lamb / person / year. And about 97 pounds of chicken per person annually. Both are shocking numbers.) We purchased bone-in pork shoulder from Malheur which I boned and cut up for Asado de Bodas (aka Mexican wedding stew, I think, sort of mole meets asado de puerco) cutting off the beautiful fresh fat cap to render down for sauteing the veg, and using the bone to make a pork broth to freeze for pozole sometime in the future. And if you like to cook Italian food, Malheur made jowl bacon (otherwise known in Italy as guanciale) this winter which was sold here and is THE perfect thing for carbonara and Amatriciana sauces. My Brooklyn born hubby is Italian heritage and grew up with an Italian speaking nonna in the kitchen so we have used a lot of guanciale - not in Boise though where it is hard to find - and this is the best we have ever used. Still not carrying much fresh market produce but they have added Acme Bread to the line up and on Saturdays I think Acme rotates in a special kind of loaf. From time to time they have had "meet the maker" tastings on Saturdays for some of the vendors they carry. And here's a tip you'll thank me for - if they have local Morning Star Acres jam on the shelf, buy it. Especially the huckleberry! SERVICE: The owner is on site almost all the time, very friendly, very responsive to FB messaging if you have questions about something in stock and always able to help by phone too before making a trip if you're looking for something specific. SET UP: Small but with a good expanse of windows it is light and bright and well organized with refrigerator / freezer case along one wall, larder / pantry shelving next to that with food products for sale and other items - like local artists and crafters goods for sale- also placed around the store. ACCESSIBILITY: ADA parking correctly designed for van access striping on the passenger side adjacent to building. Small ramp up to sidewalk. All on one floor. Ample floor clearance. The loo fails ADA and Idaho code compliance with counters and towel dispenser too high. The eat in counter has only high stool level seating so inaccessible. The ADA is 30 years old in July and it is past time to get this right everywhere for equal access. (Yep. I have a dog in this hunt since I have had MS since college.) LOCATION: In the Bench neighborhood right across from Idaho Youth Ranch thrift shop and just next door to a Vincent St. Paul sales store. PARKING: Private lot has about 15 parking spaces.
