I sometimes buy people coffee from Spyhouse or Dogwood if I know they are into coffee. Maybe a six pack of a local beer if I'm visiting someone via car.

Surly or Schell's beer are always a good option.

Something with a loon, if you're up north.

Some Surly, if they're craft beer fans.

Does anyone actually like MN themed gifts besides immediate edibles like Nut Goodies and Summit? Every house in MN must have an abandoned gift bag of wild rice and a postcard from Gooseberry Falls State Park in a box somewhere.

I don't want or need physical stuff, but wild rice is edible! I'd take that -- it's expensive!
