★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Just moved to Freemont County from Texas. Off the charts allergies. Went in for local honey. Left with honey, pollen and a full heart. Mel greeted me and informed me of all the WONDERFUL items at GREAT prices they sell and we then went into a long wonderful conversation. Both these ladies are gems. This will be a regular stop for me here on out."

Heartshake Studios

★★★★★ 4.8 (9)

"Popped in a couple days after Christmas and loved everything they had. Had my eyes set on a few things that I ended up buying, including a little L'Occitane Fig Hand Cream, a cute little ceramic ornament with a love phrase on it, and a small snowflake soap. The owner, Julia Hutchinson, was so sweet and talked with my boyfriend and me about how she and her husband just moved to the area. The shop itself is bright and airy, and there's definitely room for more items! Looking forward to coming back soon and seeing what new trinkets have arrived."

Bella Casa Decor and Design

★★★★☆ 4.3 (7)

"Such a great store! I want to buy everything whenever I go in there! Such unique gift items and items for my home that I have never seen anywhere else. Love it!"

Meraki Springs

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"We had celebrated my daughter's birthday at this amazing spot! I love the concept of this venue where you are not just buying handcrafted products but you are actually making them right here on the spot with the local artist! The space is beautiful and well organized for any kind of party. We did clay project with the kids with the help of talented artist Megan. She was very nice and helpful and made sure all kids enjoyed the process. We had plenty of room for cake display, food and games. If you are looking for a gift Metal Springs is the perfect place to find any thing to your liking!"

The Fragile Edge

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"My mom bought cowboy boots here when we were in town. The owner was very nice and assisted her. Lots of different things are in here."

The British Pantry and Tea Room

★★★★★ 4.8 (55) • $$

"I fell in looooove with their tea time and can't wait to come back for Christmas time. The store is cute and have some fun snacks and food that remind me of London. Which I love a reminder of my time there. So I had to snag a couple of those. But what was the kicker was the tea time. It reminded me of being back in London the few times I've gone. First tea time I've been to that can compare. Every detail is well thought out and the food is wonderful! You will not leave hungry, or unhappy. How could you! Oh! When we went there was a lovely girl playing the harp and it was so beautiful!"

The Spark

★★★★☆ 4 (2)

"The Spark is a high end gift store located in downtown Colorado Springs.One of my favorite things to do when visiting a new town is to find their downtown shopping areas and just browse. I love souvenir shops, gift shops, and everything in between. That is how I found The Spark.I was a little apprehensive when I first walked in because I didn't want my kids to break anything.It's not that they're occasionally bulls in a china shop, but they are occasionally bulls in a china shop. They were particularly well behaved this time so nothing was damaged.The items for sale here are more towards the high end decorative type items. There were several dude oriented items that I liked, including several clocks made from old airplane gauges. I kind of regret not buying one. I did end up getting a Colorado themed Christmas Ornament which is pretty cool.If you are in downtown Colorado Springs and want high end decor, I encourage you to visit The Spark."

Glass Blowers of Manitou

★★★★☆ 3.5 (11) • $$

"LOCAL OWNERSHIP - A tourist "trap" but folks who are friendly and care. Hummingbirds and flowers are outstanding gifts. My wife and I have been a fan for over 20 years and have given these gifts all over the world and folks love them."

Twin Creek Trading

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Mr. Webb has a very unique collection of antiques and the best is when they have tent sales in the parking lot. There is furniture, clocks, signs, rocks, souvenirs and more. Don't miss the shooting arcade! For $1 you get 20 shots with either a pistol or a rifle. You aim at lights and if you have a hit, the item moves! Doors swing open, cans fly, pantries open and close and we had so much fun. Mr. Webb said he built much of it himself. Don't pass up on reading the signs out front!"

Swift River Ice Cream, T-Shirts & Gifts

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"We went for ice cream with my father and grandparents. The service was amazing. The lady who helped us was super sweet and beyond friendly. The only downside is that the ice cream is subpar. I've had better blue bunny ice cream from the grocery store. After having steadmans across the street... swift river just fell short on taste."

Southwest Silver

★★★★☆ 4.4 (13) • $

"I bought some White and Titanium Aura crystals from this one of a kind touristy, crystal shop! To be fair, Manitou Springs Main Street sells a lot of touristy crystals, but this one has some beautiful pieces and many arrangements of crystals. Upon our visit, there was a lot of neat sales going on! I got all my crystals for half off and it was incredibly beautiful and I felt lucky! The customer service from the counter guys were a genuine connection and I love that we both wore moldavite necklaces."

Juniper Gifts & Fine Arts

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Great shop for new and preowned children's clothing. They also have maternity. Great store for baby gifts also, all new. Gracious owner."

PS I Love You Flowers & Gifts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (9) • $$

"Never a disappointment! I live out-of-state and occasionally need arrangements for friends and family that live here. The arrangements are always done beautifully and on time. The prices are great, too. Ask for Gracie, she knows what she is doing and does it well. Highly recommend :)"

Super Junk

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"10/10 best stop on my friends and I's day out. We found the store by complete coincidence while we were actually at another shop. We saw a sign at the corner of the street and decided...why not? Nothing bad has ever happened following strange signs before? Lol! I'm totally kidding. The sign was so colorful and cute it had us wanting to know more. I'm so so so happy we were curious! We were greeted by one of the coolest store fronts I've seen in a while. Once inside, we were hooked. Idk what was better, the staff (so sweet, friendly, and funny....I didn't want to leave lol) or all of the adorable miniatures and vintage items to check out. I live far south in Colorado Springs but I 100% will be driving up again to bring my kids. My daughter and I share a love for all things spooky and the store had a lot of vintage looking knock knacks. They also had some really cute spooky season earrings as well. The prices were incredibly fair as well, just had to mention in case anyone was curious."

Global Spices Parfums Fragrances Gifts Kitchenware

★★★☆☆ 3 (3)

"A new boutique Indian Mart. They have plentiful gifts and parfums, and some basic food staples and snacks. The owner is very friendly and helpful. They are fairly new and have plans to expand the food and (little) produce they offer and are apparently happy to take customer suggestions at this time. I'll be visiting again sometime when in the area to see what new items they offer."

Kaleidoscope Inspiration

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"One of my favorite places to stop in on Main Street in Cañon. It is a boutique artisan market that features items from local crafters, cottage foods, art and clothing. It is a fun place to walk through and find that special item you didn't even know you couldn't live without. The owner is super friendly and helpful. It is always a little different whenever I go in, so it is fun to know it will never be the same when I stop in. They also often bring in food trucks during the week. Great little local shop! Stop in and see what you can't live without :)"

Poor Richard's Bookstore

★★★★☆ 4.3 (107) • $$

"Love browsing the store and seeing what I can find. I love that there is a selection of new and used books. I'm an avid reader, so being surrounded by books is my happy place. The store also as a fun selection of journals and socks and other kitschy items. The only complaint I have is this: Stephen King and Dean Koontz do not make a horror section lol. I love horror, but Stephen King and I just don't seem to mesh well, I know I know...personal preference. The prices are a bit high for some of the used books, but I understand the price on the books is a little bit more than if I was at a bookstore outside of the prime real estate that is downtown, so I try to remind myself of that lol. Oh! And I've never been met with anything other than a friendly face from anyone working there. Which is hopefully a great sign"

The Hodgepodge

★★★★★ 5 (7) • $$

"What a beautiful store they have in Salinas. They have wonderful homemade textiles. I bought a beautiful woven scarf that I can't wait to wear for Christmas. If you get a chance stop in and buy something from them. They even send you home with a cute handmade bag."

Out of the Norm Designs.

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (23)

"I love this team and their service. They worked with me to design a great parting gift for my 1SG that included our company logo. Throughout the entire process they contacted me to give me updates and coordinate pickup times with me. I highly recommend for their service, the price, and the convenience of them being located on post."

All About Colorado

★★★★★ 4.6 (17) • $$

"All About Colorado is probably my favorite souvenir place that I visited in Downtown CO Springs.If rating souvenir shops on the scale of cheesy t-shirt shop to high end decor, AAC falls right in the middle. It has a little bit of everything for everyone.AAC is actually two shops in one. It looks like they may have been separate at one time, but are now connected. Both sides have similar items and similar helpful staff. Here are some of the items I liked:Hats: I love a good ball cap. They had several different styles.Shirts: There were a good variety of shirts that were Colorado themed or for specific local attractions. Their shirts were much cheaper than the ones for sale at the local attractions.Stickers: I love stickers. I bought several. There were some that seemed a tad ridiculous, but I am sure they sell plenty of weed themed stickers here. Weeeeeeeed maaaaaaan. Get a job hippy.Coffee Mugs: Even though I drink iced coffee, I love location specific mugs. They had mugs a plenty here.Kids books: Who hasn't read "Who Pooped in the Snow"? Actually, I have not and it made me regret that my kids don't like story time anymore. This store has way more than the items I listed. I think you will like it. I did."

Covered Treasures Bookstore

★★★★★ 4.7 (12) • $$

"This is a small but well-stocked independent bookstore in downtown Monument. It has an especially good children's / midgrade / young adult section, including some classics and all the currently-popular series such as the Warrior Cats. There's also a large used book section. There are a reasonable number of new releases.Besides books, they carry a large selection of greeting cards, some art supplies, blank books (journals), notecards, puzzles, and miscellaneous gifts. You can also buy gift cards in any amount, and they will special-order a book for you if it's not in stockThe store is well-organized by type of book, both in the new and used sections. It's also a beautiful store, with lots of natural light coming in through the south windows. A plus for this store is that they host lots of book signing for local authors. You can support both your local store and your local authors all in one place!"

Eagle Rock Ranch Mercantile

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"We purchased our first order of beef from Eagle Rock a month ago--ribeyes and hamburger. We have now enjoyed both and the meat is delicious. Reminds me of when my parents would buy a half side of beef from the local farmer in South Dakota when I was growing up. The taste of the beef far surpasses what one buys in a grocery store. You really must try it to appreciate the difference in taste. The ribeyes are, well, unbelievable. And while enjoying the highest quality of beef you are supporting a ranching operation that treats the land and animals with respect and in a sustainable fashion."

The Love Shop

★★★★★ 4.6 (10) • $$

"One of our favorite shops in Monument to just stroll through and see what catches our eye. I don't think we ever go there without walking out the door with a new piece of decor for our home. Great selection, lots of variety. You'll find yourself laughing after reading some of the plaques or wall hangings. Owner seems to always be there. She is perfectly delightful and very helpful. Side note - if she has some jalepeno chocolate, just buy some. Don't even think twice. It's amazing!"

Phelan Gardens

★★★★★ 4.5 (73) • $$

"I had ZERO clue this place existed! Then I found it thanks to a friend and fell in love. I felt my bank account cry no after my first step in, but it'll have to deal lol. I'm sure I'll be here through out the growing season to get all the necessities for my garden. There is an abundance of plants in all different varieties. Prices seem fair as well. Absolutely adore this place!"

The Holly Leaf & Soap Box and More

★★★★★ 5 (5) • $$

"I was pleased to find the triple-milled French soap ("Verbena" by Pré de Provence) that I love, and the proprietress couldn't have been friendlier.(I was stuck in a hotel in Colorado Springs, and I'm one of those picky gay Okie bitches who refuses to be without his favorite soap. Hotel soap generally sucks ass.)I picked up a few Christmas goodies for my sister-in-law, too, and can't wait to see her face when she opens her Yuletide packages.A lovely little place.Five easy stars."

Buffalo Moon Coffee Shop Cafe & Gifts

★★★★★ 4.6 (66) • $

"Cute little shop near genesee park. Just a few minutes off i70. Its clean and inviting. They had some great music playing while we were in and looked like you could scan something to download their playlist.I was in with my girl scouts as they all felt like they needed some coffee.They all thoroughly enjoyed their coffee drinks. There was a wide variety of drinks available. They also had a food menu available but we were only stopping for drinks so i did not really look that over.Employees were okay. They looked young and were not exactly overly friendly. Mostly just looked at us until we decided what we wanted."

Urbane Collective

★★★★★ 4.9 (8)

"I LOVE this boutique. It is decorated so cute!! They literally have something for everyone there; clothes, home decor, plants, food, gifts, and everything is one of kind plus she has a bunch of local vendors in there. Her prices are SO reasonable and she carries PLUS SIZE clothing!!! That is a huge bonus because it is so hard to find cute, quality, and affordable plus size clothing. I love her shop dog, Biff. He makes it feel welcoming there. So excited for this new shop and the TGAP marketplace and all the new shops going in there."

The Whickerbill

★★★★★ 4.6 (8) • $$

"While out supporting small businesses this past Saturday I found this total gem! We moved to the area in January and as you know, the world all but ended so we didn't get to do much exploring. Happier now that I have found a store that has everything I never knew I needed and so many things that would make awesome gifts for any occasion!! How many times do you get invited over to someone's house and not know what to bring? This store has it! They have cute novelty kitchen/home items as well as practical everyday items. We were looking for Christmas gifts for a few people that have everything but I'm pretty sure that one of them doesn't have a wine pour in the shape of a bird that sings (chirps) when you pour a glass of wine, so that happened!Currently, at the entrance they have a stand with hand sanitizer and masks! I love that they are taking things seriously. Fantastic store owned by a lovely couple with a great story!! Absolutely worth checking it out if not becoming a regular like I plan to!"

Sisters Remembered

★★★★★ 5 (5) • $$

"This charming little gift shop has stood the test of time in a town where gift shops come and go. The personal service you would expect in such a quaint shop does not disappoint. I found that stopping in helped round out a good day of visiting Buena Vista's mountains, river, and downtown. It helps in getting a flavor of the small mountain town feel. Best of all, they had my souvenir of choice: scenic playing cards of the general area (14ers)."

Finders Keepers by Peggy Rima

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"Such a sweet little shop. I was in town visiting my sister and my niece said she's always wanted to go in so we did. This shop has amazing local gifts and items and wonderful staff."

The Globe Antique Store

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"Greeted upon entry. So many rooms to visit. Each section is filled by items from individual sellers. Makes for an interesting visit as there's a variety of options. Memorabilia, childhood toys, old food cans, military gear, artwork, vintage clothing and much more. We checked out each section and the upstairs area. Prices are comparable to other shops in the area."

The Naked Goat Cafe & General Store

★★★★★ 4.5 (23) • $

"This little shop has some great homemade lotions, soaps, scrubs, etc. Your nose will get overwhelmed sniffing all the products. They do have a few antiques for sale, but nothing big. I mainly went for the food. I enjoyed the Naked Goat Salad and my only complaint is that they do not give enough dressing for the size of salad. Definitely ask for extra. The peach pie was sooooo good! I got it go which was probably a good thing cuz I would have bought the whole dang thing. The latte was super lacking, tasted burnt and was luke warm. I will be back with my mom in tow!"

Honey Tea & Me

★★★★★ 4.9 (9)

"Love this place so much! I stopped in on Mother's Day for their free tea, and fell in love. I love all of the options they have to offer! Tons of loose leaf teas, honey, candles, and awesome little trinkets to buy or gift! It's such a cute little shop!"

Riveting Experience Jewelry

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"My partner and I stumbled upon riveting experience jewelry on our quick overnight in Salida. We finished early dinner then decided for a walk down Main Street. We walked in just to check out the pieces that was on the wall. We thought it was just for sale but shortly after realized we could make our own. Kim was incredible. She guided us through the process of every piece that we made. Turned out to be a super fun unique date night. She even stayed later for us. We didn't feel rushed at all. We happily left with our 5 pieces. Kim allowed us to be creative with our own vision. She was super knowledgeable and you can see that she herself is a true artist. Riveting experience jewelry is truly hidden gem. We would highly recommend."
