Here’s one of my favorite local shops: http://www.backpackersshop.com/
Revive, without a doubt. Big Fun and City Buddha for stocking stuffers…
I love the Glass Bubble Project! Gifts are always super unique and its great to support the local artists. I have always received rave reviews on anything purchased from there… And, if you know what you want, but don’t see it in the store Mike is really good about taking your direction and creating a one of a kind piece!

I see that Music Saves is on your list. It’s a real cool shop with “NEW” Vinyl. I took my friend’s teenage daughter in to shop, she’s into vinyl, and she bought an old album, new release by The Smiths and a more recent one by The Shins. Also we were in Banyan Tree for the usual Christmas gift shopping on Saturday. And at Something Different on W25th. Lastly if you like or love chocolate truffles find your way to Mitchell’s in Cleveland Heights on Lee. Great chocolate just down the street from the Widow’s abode.
Just bought all the men folk t-shirts from Cleveland Clothing Company! They have a kiosk at Southpark mall (please resist the temptation to go to any of the stores people!) and they will be selling awesome stuff at Bazaar Bizarre this weekend!
all awesome places and an awesome idea. A great place to add would be the holiday store at heights arts gallery on Lee:

Love your support of all things local. Glad you are in the neighborhood.
Not exactly my favorite CLE shopping haunt, but great gift idea nonetheless:

They’re based in CLE, and have a kiosk set up at Great Northern Mall through the Holidays, near Macy’s.
