Santa isn't the only one making lists and checking them twice. But unlike the list, ours has gifts for everyone — naughty, nice or somewhere in between — and supports local businesses.

Have a treasured friend? Give the treasure of oyster-shell art. There's also no shortage of options for cocktail and coffee lovers, or for those who have yet to meet a condiment they didn't want to try. Cookies, bread subscriptions, an at-home Juicy Lucy kit and cotton candy? Check. And we didn't forget the dog, either.

So rest easy, weary shoppers; buying will be easy. Not keeping everything for yourself is another story.

Minnetonka-based Dashfire has single-serve, ready-to-drink cocktails down pat, from martinis and Manhattans to White Russians. This year they upped the ante, making their Old Fashioneds available in a variety three-pack, which includes a 100ml can of its classic bourbon version along with ones containing rum, cane and allspice and rye and ginger. "Having just one Old Fashioned didn't seem like enough," said Dashfire owner Lee Egbert. That it slides right into a Christmas stocking makes it meant to be.

$14.99; widely available in stores and online; find locations at dashfire.us.

Starting at $99 for four burgers, with sweet potato puffs. Order at goldbelly.com/5-8-club.

The proprietors of Due Focacceria and ie: Italian Eatery import new harvest olive oil from the Careletti family in Umbria's central hills just a couple weeks after it's pressed, so fresh that it's neon green. What's not used at the restaurant is sold by the bottle. While you can cook with the oil (and the restaurants do), all that flavor is best used as a drizzle. "The oil of the gods is a secret touch to our food," said owner Eric Carrara.

$15.50. Order online for pickup or purchase at the restaurants. Due Focacceria, 475 S. Fairview Av., St. Paul, 651-493-8858, duefocacceria.com. ie: Italian Eatery, 4724 Cedar Av. S., Mpls., 612-223-8504, italianeatery.com.

Meritage co-owner Desta Klein was paying people to remove the thousands of oyster shells the St. Paul restaurant wound up with after service each week. (The restaurant shucks about 50,000 oysters a year, plus another 20,000 at its Oysterfest event.) To close the waste gap, she decided to repurpose the shells into art. "I believe in being creative with the resources you have," Klein said. With the help of her mother, Klein cleans and sanitizes the shells before the interiors are hand-painted, decoupaged and gilded. Small sizes can be displayed as art or ornaments; larger oysters are repurposed as trinket trays.

$25-$30. 410 St. Peter St., St. Paul, or online at meritage-stpaul.com/beapearl and Be-A-Pearl.com.
