Holiday Shopping Guide
Interested in supporting small? Check out these 5 local Colorado-based businesses this holiday season
My all time favorite, it’s rare I do not have one burning in my home!
Old Pine is female owned and based out of Evergreen, Colorado. Their scents are inspiring- for your mountain lovers there is Summit and Alpenglow. For those looking to take it easy, there is Sundays or New Moon. For those who love a little musk- they have Mountain Man and Mountain Meadow. I know my mom is missing the mountains, so I sent her a large Evergreen candle (special holiday edition!) and Bluebird Day is always a favorite for her. I’ve also gifted the monthly subscription to others and for myself! No shame in my candle came.
Passionate about making small changes over time that drive a big impact, Kara, the founder of The Conscious Merchant is making moves! From kitchen products to the bathroom, you will find plastic alternatives and a push for refilling products. Sustainable, ethical and well - researched, you can trust that when you purchase from The Conscious Merchant all products have been vetted and you can walk away knowing that you have made a choice that is better for yourself as well as mother earth. I am a big fan of the Swedish dishcloths, the dishwashing block, the food huggers and travel cutlery set!
Love ancient techniques but with a modern day design? These hand block printed textiles are artist designed in Denver and made by artisans in Jaipur, India. I have the table runner, cloth napkins and tea towels that are a daily staple in my home and love giving them as gifts, as people truly enjoy them! They currently have special edition holiday gift sets available for the holiday season!
Founder of La Rue Floral, Casey LeGalley, put her creative florist mind to work when she created these DIY dried arrangements! They are stylish and can be sent right to your home- She thought of it all even putting together a video tutorial for you to watch as you create your masterpiece. I have the dried floral statement piece in my bedroom and love how it looks! Don’t wait to order- as she ran out before and only a few days left to get yours!
Sustainable, ethical fashion?! You don’t have to tell me twice! In fact, when the pandemic began, Judith & Joe did such an incredible pivot and began offering subscription boxes- a curated box with three ethical pieces styled just for you! Even more than that, they have gorgeous items that you can trust are made intentionally. They are helping me craft my capsule wardrobe one item at a time! Great for women’s & men’s clothing, jewelry and gift sets!
