The Denver DM | Local Shopping Guide

We're shopping small and local for the holidays, y'all.

More so than any other year, it’s incredibly important to shop local, shop small, and shop early (aka like, right now) if you’re able to do so this holiday season.

As such, we put together a big fun group of our favorite Colorado shops and brands, makers and shakers. Yes, it’s a bit long, but there are simply too many amazing companies to limit ourselves on this round (see also: indecisiveness).

Please share this guide far and wide, especially to those who may need a friendly nudge to support local folks in the form of direct links, before heading to big box retailers.

Anyways, without further ado - here is our festive holiday shopping guide!

Gift your family or others with a pass to access their virtual Christmas world, or snag one of the super fun ‘adventure bundles’ for additional festive fun.

• Miracle at Home - Denver’s favorite kitschy Christmas bar won’t be popping up for IRL imbibing this year, but you can bring the cocktails and glassware home with you instead. Head here to check out their menu of seasonal sippers like the Snowball Old Fashioned and Jingle Ball Nog.

• Blossoms of Light - the Denver Botanic Gardne’s outdoor wonderland of lights is still happening this year, with limited numbers to allow for social distancing. Bundle up and put on your mask as you enjoy a festive yet safe night out in the gardens. Don’t forget to bring some peppermint schnapps to pour into your hot chocolate as you wander around!
