One of downtown Longmont's most colorful little shops. Wolf & Wren specializes in clever letterpress greeting cards, stationery, notebooks, writing tools and thoughtfully curated gifts.
Their award-winning cards are designed and printed using vintage letterpress equipment, making this a particularly fun stop when you're searching for something different.
A growing collection of independent stores and specialty businesses you may not discover unless someone tells you they're there.
Part boutique, part gallery and part creative community. Tumbleweed features handmade art and goods created by local artists and makers, including work for the home and garden. It's the kind of place where the inventory changes depending on what local artists are creating.
A longtime downtown gift shop filled with home décor, jewelry, accessories and unusual gifts. Adorn is a good place to browse when you know you need a gift but don't yet know exactly what you're looking for.
Much more than a candle shop. Magic Fairy Candles carries handmade candles, aromatherapy, crystals, incense, natural perfumes, ritual items, apothecary goods and plenty of unexpected finds.
A general store built specifically for makers. Maker General specializes in thoughtfully selected textile and fiber supplies, handmade goods and creative materials. They also host sewing, mending and maker workshops.
An independently owned downtown bookstore selling new and used books. Browse Colorado and local-interest titles, hard-to-find books, maps and guides, plus work from local authors and craftspeople.
One of Longmont's true destination specialty stores. Wander through a huge selection of international and local cheeses, charcuterie, olive oils, spices and specialty foods, then explore imported textiles, kitchen goods, soaps, gifts and European market finds.
A women-owned lifestyle boutique built around small, independent and maker-led brands. Browse apparel, home goods, jewelry, ceramics and pantry items, including products from Colorado makers. There's also coffee, brunch and a zero-proof bar.
A specialty shop filled with authentic Moroccan textiles and artisan goods. The store is particularly known for Berber and tribal rugs, along with leather goods, pillows, ceramics and distinctive décor. Definitely one of Longmont's more unexpected places to browse.
A welcoming six-acre Longmont farm where visitors can meet and feed animals, explore vintage farm features, shop for local honey and enjoy seasonal experiences such as U-pick sunflowers, a pumpkin patch, pony rides, hayrides, Christmas trees and special events. Check the farm’s website or social pages for current hours, seasonal activities and group requirements before visiting.
