But I probably shouldn’t have been since the store carries many artisan-crafted wares. I was totally surprised to see this furniture and decor shop also carries really cute greeting cards. Check out owner Nicole’s own personal quirky line of cards named for the shop. This shop is filled with goods by local and national makers, and that includes greeting cards. Jolly Goods, 4020 Tennyson Street (Berkeley) Card designers like Paper Plates Press, another of my favorites, poke fun at Colfax Avenue, I-70 traffic, and other things only a Coloradan can truly appreciate. The former pop-up shop dedicated to Denver-area artists includes locally designed greeting cards often with a local theme. I Heart Denver Store, 500 16th Street #264, Denver Pavilions 2nd Level (Downtown) This little gift shop features all Colorado-made products, and that includes one of my favorite card lines, MintWaffle, by a Colorado designer.
(I did, and she always appreciated these.) eXtra Ordinary Gifts, 3867 Tennyson Street (Berkeley) Unless, of course, you also have a grandmother with an irreverent sense of humor. Broadway, Denver, 30 (SoBo)Īnother long-time Denver institution, there was a time when Decade was one of the only spots you could find off-the-wall, non-sappy cards…cards you wouldn’t send to your grandmother.

But now there are a number of fantastic Denver shops where you can find the cards that say the thing you wish you’d thought to say. Here are 12 local favorites tucked into Denver shopping districts across the city… 5 Green Boxes, 1596 S.
It wasn’t that long ago that choices were rather limited. Those cards find homes in little gift boutiques or card stores, locally owned and carefully curated. And, those truly clever - some might say cheeky - and always beautifully designed cards? Those aren’t mass-produced, and you rarely find them in Hallmark aisles. Greeting cards don’t need to be sappy or cheesy. Before I became a mom, when my time was still my own, I’d been known to spend more than an hour looking through cards at a store, carefully selecting the right one, the one that sounded like I could have written it if I only were that clever. (Plus, 5 local card designers you’ll want to know.)įor me, a well-chosen greeting card has always been a point of pride. Hallmark’s got nothing on these local Denver card shops nestled into neighborhoods across the city.
Want something irreverent? Sentimental? Beautifully designed? Check, check, and check.
