You could scour the department stores for marked-down stuff that didn't sell over the holidays—or you could buy yourself something artfully made, at a similar reduction, at the Grand Hand Gallery in St. Paul. The worst-named gallery with the best-sourced art, the Grand Hand specializes in hand-crafted, well-made pottery, wood carvings, photography, paintings, clothing, and jewelry, most of it local. And now through January 10, you'll find holiday ornaments, stockings, and more at 50 to 75 percent off, and most jewelry 75 percent off. With expanded hours (now open until 7 p.m., Tuesday through Friday), it's now an easy after-work stop to fulfill your New Year's resolution of replacing your old junk with something distinctive.
