Throughout the year, Denver is easily one of the best places to live in the country. But the Mile High City manages to become even more fantastic around the holidays – with all the winter sports, twinkling lights and cozy craft beers. Another great perk of Denver living? Incredible local shopping. This year, we’re embracing all things local by shunning the retail giants in favor of our favorite Denver-based small businesses—no trip to the mall required: Alfalfa’s. Supplier of all things organic, local and awesome, with stores in Boulder and Louisville. They have everything you need for your holiday parties and gift giving. We especially love their gift basket selection, which includes Chocolate Madness, Tapenade Treats, Vino e Formaggio and more.
