I guess I have forgotten to update this favorite that I just saw on the Shop Local in Boulder Yelp…read morelist. I shop there regularly for my grandchildren and had shopped there long before Yelp existed, for my own children. It's quite the eclectic mix still, with items for any age. My youngest loves the things she and we see whenever they visit.We have gotten her craft items to make, she has purchased little collecting boxes she likes with her own spending money. I have bought gifts for my adult children for their homes too.Things for their yards and decor items for their houses. Kites for every age and ability are still available. Its their signature collection and why the store came to be, so long ago. The staff is still wonderful and if you see it, buy it, because specific stock items change and may not be able to be restocked. I am not sure that I have ever walked out without finding something for someone on my list.

Into the Wind is a super cool kite store/toy store!…read more Anytime I come to Pearl Street in Boulder I stop here. I've got two young kids, so there is always something to buy in here. If you are shopping for kites they have tons of unique options. If not, there are still tons of other toys to shop for. Definitely check them out if there are any littles in your life that could use some special gifts! If you don't you would still enjoy walking through!

This review is specifically for The Cupboard's knife sharpening service…read more I had several issues with the service: I was told the sharpening would take 48 hours. No one contacted me within that timeframe, so I waited an extra day and called myself. Only then was I told it was finished. The knife came back with a burr on the tip that I had to remove on my own. A sharpening service should inspect their work and handle basic finishing before returning the knife. The knife was damaged, and nothing was mentioned to me. It looks like a mechanical sharpening tool was used, and it left a noticeable gouge in the finish. This is a $250 Benchmade pocket knife that was essentially like new. Overall, I'm very disappointed. The communication was poor, the knife wasn't ready when promised, the finishing work was subpar, and they damaged an expensive knife without acknowledging it. I only noticed the damage when I got home. While the knife still functions, it's extremely frustrating to have your property damaged and not be informed.

My personal favorite section was the horror area with such a beautifully curated display! I also really enjoyed the Colorado section too with so much material on the many trails, hikes, foliage, foraging, etc... this was so enjoyable! I could've easily spent double the time I did in this shop, but it leaves me excited to come back and do exactly that. A great stop for book lovers!

I am a sucker for an independent bookstore. It is a lovely space, right next to a quality tea…read moreshop. My favorite feature is the mystery book section near the front. These are books wrapped in brown paper, with a few descriptors on the front, and a quotation from the book along the spine. These books are not for sale per say, but you can make a donation to a rotating charity (when I was there it was for an organization that supported farm education for youth). I was introduced to this shop by my college-age son, who brought home a whole stack of these mystery books at Christmas and each of us got to pick one on Christmas morning (based on nothing but the descriptors and quotation). It was really delightful for our bibliophile family. If I were a FoCo local, I fear I would be in here on a very regular basis.

My parents didn't know what to do other than to take the money because they are in dire need of help. They called me in tears telling me what happened. I would never recommend this store to anyone. When I called the store originally they sounded very promising and that is why I originally sent them over there. They are a bunch of talk and the worst people you can imagine. The store needs to shut down they don't help people they make it worse.

It's so overwhelming to see that immense wall of crammed used books that have no rhyme or reason to how it's organized. I went in earlier this week after seeing on their website that one of my favorite books was available in-store used. Trying to find that book was like a needle in a haystack and SUCH a frustrating experience that it led me to write this review.
