Is it just us or does it feel like the holiday season completely snuck up on everyone? With Thanksgiving landing so late in November this year, we lost that work week we usually get between Thanksgiving and December 1. We’ve put together a list of great Colorado sourced gift options for everyone on your list. By the way, we do this every year and our previous lists might be helpful as well:

3. ROCKY MOUNTAIN FOOD TOURS
The foodie on your gift list will love a tour with Rocky Mountain Food Tours. Their flagship “Original Colorado Springs Food Tour” visits some of the top local food destinations and enjoys 8-10 tastings from local chefs. Drink pairings are available at an additional cost.
4. GIFTING COLORADO Gift Basket
This locally owned and operated business can put together a gorgeous gift basket for any occasion. You can choose a theme and let them select the contents, or you can customize to the recipient’s preferences. They can deliver locally or ship out of state.
5. BAD AXE THROWING Gift Card
Have you had a chance to check out this (fairly new) bar in Colorado Springs? It’s a fun activity for a date night or group where participants throw axes at a target. Sort of like darts but on steroids! A gift card to Bad Axe Throwing would be a fun idea for anyone on your list.
6. ELEVATION CREATIONS Colorado Ornament
These adorable Colorado ornaments are created from Aspen trees right here in Colorado. Elevation Creations is a family run business out of Castle Rock. 18 year old Brendan is taking a gap year between high school and college to hone his woodworking skills and creates all of the shop’s products.

7. A&R WORKSHOP Creation
It doesn’t get more locally sourced than a gift that you make with your own two hands. The folks at A&R Workshop in Northgate can guide you through projects ranging from painted wooden signs and cozy blankets to lanterns and checkerboard sets.
8. PEAK TO PEAK SCRATCHOFF Colorado 14ers Tracker
This is for the avid hiker on your list. The unique piece of artwork features all 58 of Colorado’s 14’ers (peaks over 14,000 peaks) and allows the owner to track every peak they’ve climbed. Peak to Peak Scratchoff is based out of Fountain and they also offer similar artwork to track national parks.

Stop by their shop to pick up gifts or order online. They also offer workshops for customers wanting to hone their own design skills.
10. PIKES PEAK LEMONADE CO.
Pikes Peak Lemonade Co. is a staple on North Tejon. They are known for their delicious lemonade made from organic and fresh ingredients. For the kiddos on your list?
