Publisher’s note: Lake Tahoe News is looking for gift ideas that are less than $20. Find out how to make a suggestion.

Stop by the Historical Museum of Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe Art League, which are side by side near the South Lake Tahoe Senior Center on Highway 50.

There are great gifts at both locations and you support local artists and a nonprofit. You can share a bit of Tahoe in your gift.

Of course there are some beautiful things that are much more, but you’ll find some cool stuff for $20 or less. The Art League will be open 10am-5pm until Christmas and, after this weekend, the museum is only open on Saturdays.

For exact gifts under $20 there are hand-painted note cards, ornaments, a very cool hand-painted wine glass holder and hand-painted wine glasses and jewelry and much more at the Tahoe Art League.

At the museum there are great, hard to find local history books as well as books on hiking trails, maps, note cards and many other unique choices.
