Grey Thursday, Black Friday and Cyber Monday are mere ghosts of Christmas spending sprints past. As we enter the final stretch in the holiday shopping marathon, many fabulous one-of-a-kind gifts are shouting "pick me" from local artists, vendors, merchants, sites and stores.

Or go recreational with Hawkeye tickets, skiing, fencing and indoor swimming passes.
