Bought for a specific customer group…but was I right? 🤔

I carry Coeur d’Alene Christmas ornaments all year, thinking tourists will buy them as souvenirs to take home.

I was half right. 😂

Tourists DO buy them—but often as gifts for their Airbnb hosts or for local family and friends they’re visiting!

Right customer. Wrong reason. 🤷‍♀️

Retail keeps you guessing!

And now I’m curious—when you travel, do you buy souvenirs for yourself or gifts for the people you’re visiting?

This Week at the Nest

🪺 There is a lot happening on Sherman this week:

🕺Tuesday | 2PM – 4PM
Shop the Block ‘80s Happy Hour
We’re bringing the ’80s music and breaking out the prize wheel! Come shop, spin and discover whether all those years of listening to Madonna have finally prepared you for something useful.

🪺Tuesday | 6:30PM
Tuesday Night at the Nest (Facebook Live)
We’re giving our Classic Blue & White Collection the spotlight! Timeless, collected and proof that some things really don’t need reinventing.

🫐Wednesday | 4PM – 5PM
Huckleberry Happy Hour
We’re taking a fresh look at our wildly popular Huckleberry Margarita Mix — an Idaho-inspired favorite that makes entertaining dangerously easy.

🎨Friday | 5PM – 8PM
ArtWalk
This is a big one! Join us with featured artist D.A. Graham, music from the Balboa Park Duo, a Magpie Signature Mocktail, and a sweet treat. Art, music, something delicious in your hand…this is exactly how we think Friday evenings should work.

Watercolor Kits at Magpie

🎨 Meet one of our favorite new Summer Market finds: Watercolor Kits by artist Jean Choe!

These beautifully designed, Made-in-the-USA kits come with everything you need to create FOUR watercolor masterpieces — except the water. (We felt reasonably confident you could source that part. 😉)

And no artistic panic required: there are even video classes to guide you along the way! Perfect for a girls’ night, family afternoon, creative vacation activity, or a quiet little Airbnb project when everyone has finally agreed they’ve had enough togetherness for one day. 😂

They’re thoughtful, creative, wonderfully giftable, and exactly the kind of maker-driven product we love discovering for Magpie. Come see them at Magpie in downtown Coeur d’Alene, Idaho — and find out what happens when you’re the artist!

"She has everything."

Challenge accepted. 😎

Sure, she has the nice cookware... but does she have an American-made spoon rest that casually says "You've been poisoned."?

Didn't think so.

For the people who appreciate a slightly questionable sense of humor (our favorite kind), we've got gifts that stand out from the usual. Because "everything" rarely includes something this funny.
 
Stop by Magpie and find the gift they never saw coming!

As a former florist, I firmly believe there's always room for more flowers. 🌷 So if I were building a gift for a flower lover...

I'd start with a bundle of beautiful faux tulips, add a gorgeous book filled with floral inspiration, tuck in raspberry tea for a cozy afternoon, and finish it with a floral candle to make the whole room bloom.

It's cheerful, thoughtful, and perfect for anyone whose happy place is a garden (or wishes it was). 🌸

Which would you reach for first?
