Gifts

Gifts used to be about giving, but Nevada County shopping makes you want to keep it all for yourself. Why take home a t-shirt when stained-glass snowflakes can be found throughout the year at Joanne’s Stained Glass in Truckee? Fine bamboo bedding is only a sampling of the home products from the nearby Gratitudes Gifts and Home Décor while the Cooking Gallery is just one of several boutique kitchen emporiums. Grass Valley is home to Tess’ Kitchen and the Wooden Spoon while Nevada City boasts JJ Jacksons, where trendy aprons and funky stemware sit amidst a bevy of blankets, books, cards, toys and accessories. And a visit to Grass Valley simply isn’t complete without a stop into the wildly popular Yuba Blue (from intimate apparel to garden stones) and the Foothill Mercantile where fudge, toys and goodies for the home appease shoppers of all ages.
