Local Gift Guide 2.0
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! We’re helping you take the stress out of shopping with our local Christmas gift guide. We’d love to know what’s on your Christmas wish list, so let us know in the comments below!
Clothing from Lizard Thicket
Lizard Thicket on 29th St Mall is one of our favorite boutiques! We would buy everything in the store if we could, but here are our top picks. Not only is the leopard print adorable, but this sweater is also so cozy and SOFT! We paired it with some black leggings and these adorable boots. One of our favorite parts about this boutique is how great the staff is! They will help you style the perfect outfit for any occasion. You can also check out their Instagram, @lizardthicketboulder, for great style inspo.
Sweater: $44, Boots: $49
Sunglasses from Two Sole Sisters
Two Sole Sisters is a great shop on Pearl Street owned by two sisters! They have a wide selection of shoes, handbags, and accessories. We fell in love with this matte black pair of Izipizi sunglasses. It is such a great staple pair that everyone should own! They have a variety of styles, and their selection ranges from $59-$69. You can also find fun accessories, like furry hand warmers and matching furry headbands!
Sunglasses: Izipizi (Sun #C) $59
Beanies from Canopy Supply
Can you ever really have too many adorable beanies? We don’t think so! We came across this local vendor at the Sugar Plum Bazaar, but she also has an Etsy shop. We were also obsessing over her beanies for kiddos (what’s cuter than a mini beanie?!). The hats are super warm and obviously adorable! She has several different styles and unique colors.
Beanie: $32 after you use our code MMGIFT20 for 20% off!
Boots from Pedestrian Shops
Pedestrian Shops on Pearl Street has some really great boots! We are loving these Sorel boots for the cold winter days. They check all the boxes being stylish, comfortable, and practical! Not to mention, they are a great price. This particular pair comes in both black and brown. These boots are sure to go fast, but they have tons of other great styles, too!
Boots: $99.95
Floyd’s 99 Travel Kit
For the men in your lives - this is the perfect gift! Each of the items (shampoo, conditioner, and leave in conditioner) is travel sized and great for any jet setter. The travel pack can be purchased in store. We recommend pairing it with a custom leather passport holder, like this one here!
Travel Kit: $15.25 while supplies last (Boulder store is sold out FYI!)
Passport Program
How many times can we tell you how much we love the Passport Program? Well, we’re going to do it again. They’re affordable and great for stocking stuffers! Who doesn’t like 2 for 1 drinks and exploring new venues around town? Use our code MOUNTAINSANDMIMOSAS for $5 off your purchase. The Winter edition of any Colorado City (i.e., Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs) comes with a free Mountain Passport as well! Get yours here!
Passport: $20 (after our $5 discount code “mountainsandmimosas” is applied)
Anything from BEE-OCH Organics
We found this local gem at the Horseshoe Market and bought a lip balm on a whim. It is the BEST. Super simple and organic ingredients, it makes your lips feel smooth and doesn’t dry them out like a lot of other lip products. We had to go back and buy their body butter and it has been an absolute life saver this winter. A little goes a long way, it’s not greasy, and it smells amazing. We haven’t tried all of their products, but based on our experience with these 2, you can’t go wrong getting something from BEE-OCH. Plus, how cute is the name and logo?
Products: This starter set is $50, but individual products range from $5-$18
Jewelry & Bags from Wear Love Wagon
So, we discovered this company through another local blogger @Denvershewrote, and then had the chance to meet the owner at the Sugar Plum Bazaar recently. We’re obsessed. Each piece is made by a survivor of human trafficking and helps to support their craft. It’s the first non-profit boutique in Colorado and we think it’s awesome. Everything is unique and really cute, so you can feel even better about what you buy! Check out her page, here.
Jewelry and accessories starting at $30
Masi Masa Spice Blends
Masi Masa spice blends are the perfect gift for the foodies in your life! Inspired by their love of travel, this Denver couple’s spice blends bring you flavors from around the world. The best part - the back of each pack has a grocery list and easy to follow recipe. We decided to get the mixed 3 pack so we can try a little of everything. They will be at the Fetch Winter Market Dec 13-15, or you can buy the spice packs at their online store.
Mixed 3 pack: $15
