Better to give

Need last-minute gifts for your favorite Phoenix fan? We’ve got ideas. Try some U of C cufflinks, a women’s jersey tee, or a travel coffee mug from the University of Chicago Bookstore. Begin your favorite toddler’s Chicago education early with a building-blocks bib, a teddy bear, or a onesie.

If Chicago-wear isn’t your thing, visit campus museum shops. The Oriental Institute’s suq offers archaeology and history books, jewelry, and even the reconstructed Royal Game of Ur, including instructions and game pieces. The Smart Museum shop sells museum publications, children’s books, Indian paper products, and hand-made textiles and jewelry. And the Robie House store includes art and architecture books and loads of related gifts.

Now on to wrapping paper.
