Are you looking for distinctive Christmas gifts you won’t find in big-box stores? Parker’s boutique shops are the perfect places to explore! Here are six of our favorites, with gifts for everyone, even furry friends.
The LOCAL
The LOCAL is all things Colorado. Every product comes from local vendors. Merchandise includes fragrant candles, scenic soap bars, jewelry, art, clothing, food products, charcuterie boards and my favorite, Alpaca socks! The hidden gem is the gourmet market. Refrigerators are stocked with local meat and dairy products along with pies, cheeses and dips. Shelves contain local honey, candy, chips, sauces, pickles, pasta, coffee, tea, vinegars, oils and specialized local wines. A bottle of wine paired with cheeses and chocolates can be an impressive gift for a friend or business associate. You won’t leave empty-handed!
Visit the store 19565 Mainstreet or thelocalcolorado.com.
