4 | Dog and Pup Glass Suncatchers The rainbow of glass globes hanging in the windows of Pottery Place Plus is almost a traffic hazard. They're eye-catching, as the sun shines through each translucent orb. Every globe is hand-blown, but they aren't overly delicate. Hang them from a window; we've also seen a cluster of them floated in a small pond or decorative pot. $18-$30

5 | Mountain Madness Soaps Every single bar of Mountain Madness soap is handmade from scratch. They're works of art, and smell even better than they look. You can trust that the soaps and sugar scrubs are made with natural ingredients like green olive oil and coconut oil, instead of detergents or petroleum products. Buy them at Kizuri, their new storefront in Coeur d'Alene or online. $6-$10
