Lifestyle Denver’s Holiday Gift Guide Part II!
The Holidays Have Arrived, and it’s Important to Shop With Local Denver Businesses this Season!
I love the holidays! I’m having so much fun walking the pups around my neighborhood this year….so many fun, festively decorated homes to look at! I’m really getting in the spirit this year, which is a good reminder of how important it is to small businesses to shop locally. I’ve curated the Lifestyle Denver holiday gift guide to feature lots of locally owned Denver businesses. Be sure to check out Part I if you haven’t already, and happy shopping!

(For Example: bring in a photo of your dog and they will hand draw a gorgeous photo of him on an ornament, etc.)
