Support your local small businesses during the holiday season! Whether you’re a CO local or from out of state, you can find the best gifts right in our little town and have them ready to ship, drive, or walk home with you. Here are some of my personal favorite shops to pop into for holiday gifts… 

Bliss on Pearl Street — For cards, decorations, journals… you can find it all here! Candles? You got it. Coffee mugs? Yes, yes, yes!

 

 

Boulder Book Store on Pearl Street — For books, of course. Check out some local authors work, such as Things I Would Like To Do With You by Waylon Lewis or any book Stephen Graham Jones, both Boulder locals!

 

 

Fawns Leap off of Pearl Street — For succulents, bouquets, and pretty crystals, this is the best place to wander into.

 

 

Old Tibet — For crystals, malas, decorative Buddha statues, music, and books!

 

Piece, Love & Chocolate — For the sweetest friend you have, this is the place to be.

Red Letter Secondhand Books — We all have a friend that loves the smell of old books and refuses to give in to the Kindle/Nook trend. Check out this bookstore for cheap deals on classics and forgotten favorites.

Rocket Fizz — Fill your friend & family’s’ stockings with something different this year! This little spot is a blast from the past, in the best possible way, and your parents will love the throwback candy when they peek in their stocking Christmas morning.

Or, you can always shop online – here are some Etsy business owners located in the Boulder area!

For a dog lover

For an artistic friend

For the biggest Buffs fan you know

For a minimalist jewelry lover

For the yogi in your life

For that one friend that loves decorating her apartment all year round

For the girl who loves silver

For the friend that likes earthy and eco-friendly forms of medicine

For the word/quote loving friend we all have

And that just about sums it up! Happy shopping & happy holidays, Buffs!
