And remember: When shopping, supporting local is really the only way to keep the Arizona economy going strong!

(the vintage enthusiast)GrowOp 902 N. Sixth St. is a vintage, col-

lective boutique rested snug on the community garden property of the GrowHouse. There you will find an eclectic collection of local and handmade goods, found items, vintage cloth-ing, handmade jewelry and much more.

evelt. It’s an urban/industrial retail and design shop that offers clothing and apparel, local and handmade goods, and workshops. It’s a hip start-to-finish product design shop that offers welding, screen printing, photography, sewing, carpentry and fine art lessons.

(the candy freak)Smeeks for the candy freak! This adorable

little candy shop located at 14 W. Camelback offers old-time sweets, treats and novelties. They offer a wide range of handcrafted lollipops, shrink-dinks, marshmallows, caramels, yo-yos and all sorts of perfect little stocking stuffers.

(the kid & the kid at heart)Red Hot Robot located at 6042 N. 16th St.

is the perfect spot to pick up cards, gifts and collectibles for the kid or adult who doesn’t want to grow up. This funky little shop offers a wide range of Vinyl Toys, mini figures, D-I-Y, plush toys, key chains and charms and of course, robots!

(the music junkie)Revolver Records is the shop for the music

lover. Here you can buy, sell and trade! Lo-cated at 918 N. Second St., they carry more than 25,000 new and used LPs and not only do they have vinyls but also carry CDs, DVDs, turntables, audio accessories and more. And never fear, they have quite an extensive collec-tion of rare and hard-to-find music.

(the artist)Practical Art is where you will find the per-

fect gift for that eccentric person in your life. This friendly craft retail and gallery, located at 5070 N. Central Ave., has a huge selec-tion of local and handmade art and home décor ranging from ceramic, wood, fiber and glass, as well as a variety of handmade soaps, jewelry and kitchen items.

(the diva)Stupid Cupid is a quirky little home acces-

sory and gift shop located at 5027 N. Seventh Ave. If you know someone who just loves candles and good smelling things, this is the shop that you need to hit up. Stupid Cupid has some of the best candles in town as well as funny ones! And if gift wrapping is just not your thing, they offer that service to shoppers!

(the animal lover)Smelly Dog is located at 5033 N. Seventh

Ave. This newly renovated one-stop pooch shop is the ideal gift location for that person you know who is head over heels for their doggie. They offer all things dog, including bowls, collars, toys, herbal alternatives and treats. Green Bone Bakery is located inside the shop, where they fresh bake daily doggie treats that are made from human-grade ingre-dients (so if you really wanted to you could try out the treats too!).
