5. Bottle of Five Wives Vodka, 750mL, $19.95
A local favorite since 2011, this vodka blends Wasatch mountain spring water that's gathered 5 gallons at a time from an Ogden Canyon spring with distilled spirit originating from gluten-free corn to 80 proof (40 percent ABV). Five Wives' subtle sweetness and smooth finish is just the thing to lift the holiday spirits. Speaking of spirits, Ogden's Own Distillery makes three: Underground, a herbal liqueur similar to Jägermeister—but light-years ahead in taste and quality; Five Wives Sinful Vodka, a delicious blend of cinnamon, vanilla and other natural flavors; and Porter's Fire, a cinnamon whiskey with a hint of vanilla. Pick up a bottle at the distillery Tuesday-Friday from noon-5 p.m., or at many state-run liquor stores. Cheers! (LL)

7. The Fifth Goal, $25
The Fifth Goal is a collection of all eight issues of Blake Donner's zine devoted to freight-train graffiti. Every page and cover is reprinted in its entirety, along with texts by the book's editors about freight-train graffiti and Donner's life and work. Blake died in 2005, and original copies of the zine are rare. This book was a communal effort put together by Donner's friends and by enthusiasts of the zine, who, over the course of two years, found each other in remarkable ways and slowly tracked down each of the original issues. Profits from the book go toward the scholarship founded in Donner's name. Ken Sanders Rare Books is a full-service antiquarian bookshop and a Salt Lake City staple that specializes in works on Utah, the Mormons and the American West. (LL)
