Stuck on gifts? Here’s some random, fun ideas. Best yet, they are all available in town. Prices may vary.

-A selfie stick

An older gentleman by the name of Jim Bastian sells a contraption of this sort at a kiosk at West Acres according to Prairie Biz mag. Yes, selfie sticks are a thing … for better “groupie” shots.

-Tickets to the Steve Miller Band

I’m a joker. I’m a smoker. He’s coming on March 20th. Scheels Arena.

-“Burrito tour” gift card

I made this up … but it’s brilliant. Buy $10 gift cards to restaurants known for their burritos. So there’s Romo’s, Sweeto, Moe’s, Pancheros, Qdoba, Acapulco, Paradiso … and perhaps the most highly anticipated fast-food restaurant opening in Fargo – Chipotle! End of January, y’all.

-“That’s A Load of Crop” t-shirt

For the farm boy or girl or man or woman in your life. There are plenty more “punny” shirts where that came from at Tag, located at the same booth as Tickets300 off Broadway in Downtown Fargo.

-Sky Zone gift card

Nothing says “I love you” like “I am taking you on an indoor trampoline park adventure.” If the person is a gymnast, it’ll especially give her a chance to show off. If the person is not a gymnast, as we can mostly assume, it’ll give him a chance to jump high. The place is new and located north of West Acres in Fargo.

-Tickets to “So You Think You Can Dance” at the Scheels Arena

You don’t need to be dancer to enjoy this as-seen-on-TV live performance. Prepare your friend, lover or family member to be dazzled by dance this February 18.

-Asics GT-2000s

They are one of the most popular running shoes on the planet. Easy sale. Available at Beyond Running, Fargo Running Company and Scheels.

-Soap

Have you seen the funky-crazy-cute bars of soap at Zandbroz? Or tried the all-natural, good-for-the-skin Honey Bee Soap Company products?

-Season Pass to Detroit Mountain

Here’s a chance to go all out for the snowboarder or skier in your life. Detroit Mountain is the closest skiing hill to Fargo-Moorhead. It just reopened and it even has a terrain park.

-Steve Revland’s artisan furniture

Uptown Gallery has a great selection of his woodwork. Call me a fangirl, but Steve’s work is exquisite. It may just be what your fancy living room or dining room needs.

-Tickets to Taylor Swift at the Fargodome

Tickets just went on sale this past Friday. That means the best seats are still available. It’s on September 9, y’all.

-Downtown fashion

Lot 2029, C. Lizzys, Kittsona, One World, Aendee, Others, Proper and Prim, Halberstadts, Fowlers, Shannalee, Showtime Boutique, O’Day Cache, Unglued, Charmed Boutique, Beyond Running, Broadway Shoe Company. Are we missing anything? You bet we are. Downtown fashion is exploding faster than we can keep up or fit on this page. You are bound to find something for someone. Hint hint ... Frye boots.

-Beer

Fargo-Moorhead now has three craft breweries. Is it weird to Christmas wrap beer cans or growlers? If it’s local stuff? You decide.
