HEALTH & WELLNESS SEEKERS
Margot Elena
It’s difficult to put into words exactly what Margot Elena embodies. Every single brand of the Margot Elena Collection (including TokyoMilk, Library of Flowers, Lollia, Archive, The Cottage Greenhouse, Dead Sexy and Infinite She), despite being different, has incredible art, a deep sense of individual aesthetics and thoughtful details, from the packaging to the product itself. Whether it’s a bath bomb, hand lotion or perfume, Margot Elena products feel so much more bespoke than the average gift you’d buy at a department store. The good news is you don’t have to choose just one item: instead, gift quarterly subscription boxes that are filled with coveted seasonal collections of luxurious bath, body, fragrance and lifestyle treasures, including exclusive creations and limited-edition finds available nowhere else. Designed to celebrate the beauty of every season, each box offers an opportunity to discover something unexpected as well as indulge in beloved favorites.
Moore for Life
Tired of makeup that doesn’t quite match your skin tone or skin care needs? Treat yourself—or someone special—to the luxury of custom-blended foundation by Michael Moore. With decades of experience, Moore personally analyzes your skin to craft a unique formula tailored to your tone, texture and concerns. Available in liquid, powder or cream, each blend features high-quality, mineral-based ingredients that hydrate, control oil, reduce dark spots and provide sun protection. Long-lasting (four to seven months with daily use) and 30% off for all first-time buyers—just in time for the holidays!
Hydrate IV Bar
Giving the gift of wellness is always a good idea, and Hydrate IV Bar’s gift cards make it easy to treat everyone on your list. They deliver high-quality products and services administered by experienced and trustworthy medical and wellness professionals in a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere at locations throughout Colorado. From Black Friday through New Year’s Day, you can purchase a $100 Hydrate IV Bar gift card for just $80 to use toward IV therapy, vitamin injections, NAD+, Niagen NR, peptides and even a gratuity.

Rockmount Ranch Wear
Jack A. Weil, aka “Papa Jack,” founded Rockmount Ranch Wear in 1946. Today, the historic 1909 building on Wazee Street is still the place to go for fashionable and functional Western wear. In fact, Weil’s ever-popular snap Western shirt, which he designed to protect bull riders from ripping their shirts on the bull’s horns, continues to be a sought-after staple for every cowboy and cowgirl. The ivory cowgirl-and-horse embroidered Western shirt features beautiful vintage embroidery, the result of 80 years and four generations of shirt-making.
John Atencio

Meaningful, distinctive and hand-designed in Colorado, they tell the story of each recipient with flare and beauty.
Denver Art Museum
Looking for the perfect gift for your inner diva? Discover the Denver Art Museum’s new DIVA-inspired makeup collection by Cheekbone Beauty. Touching the Summer Rain Eyeshadow is a vegan cream eyeshadow stick that glides on effortlessly and delivers rich, buildable color. Pair it with Loving Him Was… Red Lipstick, a vegan, refillable formula with nourishing ingredients, long-wearing color and a creamy, velvety finish. Finish off the look with a Never Have I Ever press-on nail kit, and you’ll be ready for a fabulous night out!
Homefest
Bringing over 50 years of iconic American craftsmanship, Jon Hart Design has arrived at Homefest, which offers personalized hand-stamping in-store while you shop. From duffle bags to clutches, tote bags, cosmetic cases and more, Jon Hart bags and accessories make the perfect gifts, often becoming a tradition to build an heirloom collection to use for years to come.
Lucky Bastard Custom Boots
Every pair of boots and shoes at Lucky Bastard is built using top-quality materials and traditional, time-honored techniques. The LoHi shop features a highly curated, small-batch selection of one-of-a-kind designs ready to walk out the door. We’re partial to the turquoise butterfly inlay boots.
