Arttowngifts.com is the flagship site of a family of web sites that specialize in distinctive products currently available only in small tourist towns. The concept was conceived and created by Joseph Few and his mother, Thea Few.

Joseph spent his college years in two different small towns in Colorado where he loved the small town atmosphere. Soon after graduating from college he decided to pursue life in small town America no matter the sacrifice it took. After a few years of traveling and working, the lure of both a lake and ski mountain drew him to Sandpoint, Idaho. During a brief visit to the town, Joseph decided to make Sandpoint his home. It wasn't long after his move to Sandpoint that Joseph decided to launch Arttowngifts.com. His mother, a long time entrepreneur, agreed to serve as an advisor to help him get Arttowngifts.com, the company's flagship site off the ground.

After years of traveling through Colorado and other small resort towns and visiting local shops, galleries, and studios, the mother and son team realized that the markets embraced by artists, crafters, and others who create unique artworks and quality products in the smaller towns were restricted by geography and other limitations. While visitors adored the unique designs available in the towns, these fantastic and often one-of-a-kind and better-than-brand offerings could only be found on rare occasions during vacations or weekend shopping trips.
