n Tucson artist Daria Sandberg fashions colored glass, a bit of wire, beads and thin copper leaves featuring special thoughts into framed mosaic art to hang in a sunny window. It's a gift idea for anyone who likes a sunset's color, whimsy and poetry. The copper leaves on this one say, "Each and every life is an unfinished dream." $60 at Bohemia.

Gift-giving alert: One month from today — just 30 days — is Christmas Eve. Time to put some serious thought into your shopping plans.
