The Colorado Homes & Lifestyles staff shares their go-to picks for holiday presents
Holly Scott, Vice President & Publisher
I love to give these rocks glasses by Erin Flett. Erin’s bold and colorful style is authentic and well made. You can choose from Boho, Peacock, Anchor or Blossom or get one of each. The perfect addition for a friend or family member’s bar. $44 for a set of four, etsy.com
Michelle Johnson, Senior Editor & Writer
Fig + Yarrow Apothecary in Denver makes organic small-batch goodies for the bath, body and face. I love their clay masks, which are available in six formulas designed to target different skin types. $24 each, figandyarrow.com
Rebecca Gart, Editor at Large
Ever since visiting the Simon Pearce store and restaurant in Quechee, Vermont, more than 20 years ago, I’ve been gaga for their simple, modern glass vases, pitchers and bowls. My go-to gift is the versatile Woodbury bowl for salad, fruit or just a simple centerpiece. From $75, simonpearce.com
Eliza Karlson, Market Editor
Experiential gifts are the best, especially if they are something you would never do by yourself. I think the “Invitation to Ikebana: Modern” class at Denver’s beautiful botanic gardens is a perfect gift to share with family and friends. $44 per person, botanicgardens.org
Vanessa Richetti, Digital Editor
My favorite gift to give is Herbivore Calm Bath Salts. Something soothing for the bath, perhaps because it’s my favorite gift to get! $18, herbivorebotanicals.com
Amy Watkins , Advertising Director
I love giving great cookbooks. They can be visually stunning and a keepsake for years to come. The Love & Lemons Cookbook is at the top of my list. $35, tatteredcover.com
Mark Lesh, Art Director
The Eddie Bauer Oversized Down Throw is super cozy for snuggling up by the fire and perfect for all ages. $129, eddiebauer.com
