Gift ideas! Two small works by local artist Samantha da Silva

As a small business, we’re deeply passionate about connecting one-of-a-kind works of art with people who will cherish them for generations. When you purchase art from Gallery MAR, you’re not just buying a piece; you’re supporting the talent and passion of our artists and the hard work of our dedicated staff.

This year, we invite you to shop local and small for the holidays. In our gift guide, we’re proud to highlight fellow Park City small businesses who, like us, pour their hearts into every detail. We’ve carefully chosen a unique product from each of these businesses we think you’ll adore, and in turn, each business has selected a Gallery MAR artwork they believe you’ll love too.

Discover why each featured artwork holds special meaning for your favorite local vendors, and let us share what makes their products shine. We hope you’ll find the perfect gift for someone special—or treat yourself!

Happy shopping and happy holidays from all of us at Gallery MAR!

 


ALPINE DISTILLING

THEIR PICK

“Both the fine art of leather work and the crafting of whiskey are born from time, patience, and skill. Crafted to perfection, they are meant to be savored, not rushed — enjoyed slowly, and with appreciation for the artistry in every detail.” – Sara, Alpine Distilling

OUR PICK

“Alpine Distilling’s “Triple Oak Whiskey” is a masterpiece of depth and complexity, having earned the highest national rating and a spot on Enthusiast magazine’s January cover. Aged to perfection, its layers mirror the craftsmanship in Josh Kelley’s leather-carved artwork—both reflect patience, artistry, and timeless detail. Together, they celebrate tradition, skill, and creative expression at its finest.” – Gallery MAR

 


CHAMMOMILE

THEIR PICK

“I particularly like this “Blue Bunny” by Hunt Slonem because the ears and eyes have a little bit more detail making the bunny seem real. I love how it feels like the bunny is looking at me from the corner of the frame.” – Cammy, Chammomile

OUR PICK

“This vibrant shirt from Chammomile, featuring bold, playful patterns, brings a burst of joy and creativity to any wardrobe. Its bright colors and whimsical design beautifully echo the charm and energy of a Hunt Slonem blue bunny painting. Both celebrate fun, color, and individuality—perfect for anyone who loves making a statement with flair and personality.” – Gallery MAR

 


RITUAL CHOCOLATE

THEIR PICK

“We picked this piece because we would like to imagine that after the kids in the painting enjoy their outdoor activity they come home to some hot Ritual Drinking Chocolate. Not only will it warm them up, they’ll love how sweet and smooth the chocolate tastes. Outdoor activities are always better when you have a sweet treat to look forward to when you return inside.” – Cristina, Ritual Chocolate

OUR PICK

Ritual Chocolate’s Madagascar Drinking Chocolate offers a rich, velvety taste, perfect for savoring on a crisp winter day. Its depth and warmth reflect the festive coziness of Fred Calleri’s “January Jubilee,” where joyous winter scenes come to life. Together, they embody the spirit of winter celebration, comfort, and indulgent delight.” – Gallery MAR

 


FLIGHT BOUTIQUE

THEIR PICK

“We love Sara Edgar’s work and her use of color and childlike whimsy! We feel like dressing with more pizazz lately is really a good way to pick up your mood.” – Blaire, Flight Boutique

OUR PICK

Flight Boutique offers the Free People Dreamy Days Pajama Set, a cozy blend of comfort and charm. Its playful, colorful design mirrors the joyful whimsy of Sara Edgar’s “Harlequin” artwork. Both invite a sense of fun and self-expression, wrapping you in warmth and brightening your days and nights with vibrant, imaginative flair.
