Our shopping queues seem to grow a little longer every year and, as you know, finding something truly unique can be an epic-level challenge. Thankfully, the local retail selection in the Circle City is anything but ordinary. Indianapolis is home to a coterie of eclectic and one-of-a-kind options to find the perfect gifts for all your friends and family members, ages 1 to 91.

Rodriguez says the Hawkhouse brand ($40–$80), based out of Martha’s Vineyard, is very popular with customers. This delicate, eco-friendly line is brought to life through a process called electroforming, in which a conductive bezel is hand-painted onto each stone to produce copper while submerged in an electrochemical solution.

INDIANA ARTISAN OFFERS the best of the best in Indianamade goods. Interim director Rosalyn Demaree describes the store’s niche as “exceptional art, food, and beverages made right here.” She says each artist must submit their wares to a jury from around the state in order to be selected as an approved vendor. The space has an old-world vibe, akin to leaving downtown Carmel and stepping into a small gallery in Europe. Demaree proudly points out a wood table made by local artist Peter Falk ($5,600). This one-of-a-kind piece was carved from a fallen oak tree near 71st Street and Allisonville Road. Numerous paintings contribute to the gallery feel in the store, including Grandma’s Garden, a gold-leaf and oil painting by Nashville-based artist Patricia Rhoden ($1,250).

The name “BE” stands for Barbie and Evan Turner, the mother-anddaughter team behind the shop’s inception. “Even before I opened the store, there wasn’t much eclectic out there,” Barbie says. “I never wanted it to look like a big-box retail store.” The logo and interior lean decidedly girly, but the business carries gift items for both women and men. Notecards and tumblers from iconic designer Kate Spade ($20–$21) adorn one shelf. More masculine products—including the Gentlemen’s All-Purpose Hardware Tool ($48)—fill another. Colorful clothing for all ages hangs toward the back of the space. We recently spotted a stylish gray suede jacket ($250) by Cupcakes & Cashmere, ideal for layering.

Bowled Over THESE ONE- OF-A- KIND BARK AND BURL-WOOD VESSELS by Ontario-based Stinson Studios add texture and visual appeal to tabletops, shelves, and counters. A family of woodworking craftsmen, the Stinson brothers and their father source a variety of hardwoods to create home accents, cutting boards, and oak tumblers. Burls are buried underground and aged to enrich coloring and tones, then carved, sanded, and finished. The resulting products are unique, sculptural pieces suitable for display. Bark-edge ambrosia maple bowls and carved burls. Prices vary. H. Josephine Home, see listing, pg. 69.
