Christmas Shopping in the South
I've listed out five of the the most unique locations in Atlanta to find a gift for someone, whether they be an audiophile to a hiker, a bath taker to a painter...here our my favorites in no particular order:
Young Blood Gallery and Boutique- is the foremost independent showcase in Atlanta for emerging artists and Do-It-Yourself crafters. Get everything from homemade t-shirts to one of a kind earring that will wow any lady.

Ten Thousand Villages-is a quircky fair trade retailer chock full of artisan-crafted home decor, personal accessories and gift items from across the globe. They feature products from 130 artisan groups in some 37 countries and you can feel good about your purchase since they ensure that the creators of the work were paid a decent wage.

Acappella Bookstore-Specializes in out-of-print and rare book, but they also carry used copies of current books, new books the bigger stores overlook, as well as some of the same titles. The staff here are readers, so ask them for a recommendation.
