Shop the Makers Year-Round

If there's not a gift market or artisan fair going on while you're in town, don't worry. There are lots of places to shop made-in-Boulder gifts, including Art Mart, a sprawling shop packed with colorful gifts, and Ramble Marketplace, which not only has inspired finds by local makers but also provides employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. On East Pearl Street (between 17th and 21st streets), you'll find a cluster of makers: Bohemi (jewelry made on site), Sherpani (bags designed in Boulder) and Angie Star (jewelry).
