I went to this store mid-day during the week last week, to purchase a gift basket for a charity…read moredonation from my business. I live in the area, and had seen this store several times so I thought it would be a great option, I was wrong. I entered the store, and there was nobody on the floor at all to greet me. I walked around for a while, still nobody. A good 10 minutes later, I still have not been helped. All I could hear was a woman having a very casual phone conversation from the back room. I had announced myself twice, and even asked if "anyone was here" loud enough for someone in the back to hear me. I guess the phone conversation she was having was much more important than an actual customer in the store. From what I saw, everything seemed to be locally produced, but was very overpriced. I am always willing to pay more for a store that gives great customer service, but sadly, this type of retail is what had me going back to amazon. Disappointing to say the least, my business will be going elsewhere.

I wandered into this store after my dental cleaning appointment and immediately got 5 gifts individually picked out and taken care of by Aimee, the owner. What a load off to get those necessities handled in such a quick manner by such a pleasant person! I got five baskets - 2 mens and 3 womens - each different with some Colorado food items, jams, sauces, treats, and Enstroms! The ladies got bath foo foo, lotions and Hammonds! There's no such thing as too much chocolate. The store is new and still getting a few items but I found everything I needed for the out of towners. What a relief. I happened in around the first of December but I'm usually a last minute person and this would be the place to get last minute gifts. Plus it's local, with locally made items - you've got to love that!

Nice place to pop in while walking in olde town or pursuing the store for a thoughtful gift. The owner sources her inventory from all around the US so you are bound to find something special and unique. The store has a few fitting rooms and shares a restroom with the Belgian shop next door. I will say I feel very peaceful when in this business. Not something you actively notice when shopping for clothes or gifts elsewhere.
