It's in an old movie theater across from the courthouse. I always find something when I come here - earrings, incense, post cards, tshirts, etc. There's fun stuff, funny stuff, art, gifts, candles, etc. Something for everyone! Staff is helpful & super friendly. They've got fair prices as well. Definitely would recommend checking it out if you need a Boulder gift!

Located in the downtown Boulder/Pearl Street Mall strip, Art Mart is such a great place to go for…read moremore unique Boulder and general Colorado souvenirs, which I sincerely appreciate since I don't like the more "basic" or "tacky" kind of souvenirs. Right from the get go, Art Mart doesn't consist solely of artwork. There are way more apparel, jewelry, homegoods, tchotchkes, and the like than there is actual artwork here, which is why it's a great one-stop shop for souvenirs! My friends and I bought matching Boulder shirts here because the artwork on the shirts were to die for! They were the cutest and we were able to snag the shirt in multiple different colors with the same design on them, so they were matching, but also slightly more unique in their own ways. This place is a great stop at the beginning AND end of your visit to Boulder and Pearl Street Mall because trust that you will not find anything cuter! That is what we did - this was the first store we popped into and saw so many cute things we liked, but held off on getting anything because we had just gotten here. We ended up popping into nearly every single store that looked appealing to us up and down the mall and ended by coming back to this store to get our shirts because truly, we didn't find anything we liked more than that! It was a lovely Boulder souvenir and such great quality! I have enjoyed wearing it ever since!!

Had my first visit to Makeshift Crafts for my birthday and it did not disappoint! This shop has…read morebeen on my to- visit list for quite a while and I am kicking myself that it took me so long to get up there! The shop is laid out beautifully and I really like their little maker space in the back. Their little living room set up is also so inviting! I especially enjoyed the felt bar and getting to chat with staff. Most items were very reasonably priced though I did find a couple of sets that were a bit on the expensive side, but after doing some more research the mark up appears to be from the person who created the kit, not the shop. There were so many fun and interesting things to explore and I'm very much looking forward to being able to pop in for one of their classes or meet-ups! I'm a bit of a maker nerd and there were so many different items that i hadn't found before as well as some of the standards that are essential to maker spaces. The staff was so kind and helpful. We chatted about various projects and I felt so welcome in their space. I've already sent the calendar to friends so we can plan our next get together up there. I am already looking forward to my next visit!!

I will admit- it was a bit more intimidating than I expected; but everyone was so nice and patient, even as I asked the same question and steps five times over. But ALL of the craft classes are incredible! Be warned it is addictive! I also will caution that you may/may not finish your craft during the class; depending on how complex it is, most crafts I've finished at home after the class. Truly such a gem and a wonderful community space!!!

His wife (I apologize, I didn't get her name!) is very talented and kind, and walked me through the techniques that I was struggling with on my own as a self-taught tufter. The rest of the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful as well! Since I'd had prior "experience" (I jumped into rug tufting on my own by watching Geoff's videos back in February and already own three of their guns!), they let me focus on some techniques that I was wanting help with and let me do a more "complicated" rug. My best friend and my mom took the class with me, and it was their first introduction to tufting. They had a wonderful time and would do it again!! We were all beyond impressed with the amount of effort that the Tuft Love team put into the class -- all of our equipment was perfect, designs were traced out, and many yarn colors were available. They also have an innovative way of gluing/backing the rugs so we were able to take them home at the end of the class. I am so grateful and feel so privileged that Tuft Love is here in my home state of CO, especially knowing how much of an authority they are in the tufting world. I was already a Tuft Love loyalist, but especially after having met these wonderful people in person and knowing their incredible philanthropic mission, I will forever support their business. You should too.

Now it is mostly eateries, some are excellent, but this shop is at a section that has some old classic retail, like Neptune Mountaineering and the yarn shop, Shuttles Spindles and Skeins and is just below them and just east of King Soopers. It's worth the trip. Though there are many scented items in the store it did not bother me, not overpowering or particularly artificial like some gift shops. The collection is very traditional, a somewhat elegant collection, some items more unique than others. Several items I have seen here and there around Boulder, from Peppercorn to McGuckins, especially holiday themed ones. But it was a pleasure to look for and find gifts for that hard to choose for recipient all in one place. I was welcomed and helped with selection of ideas. Not a busy place when I was in, and was appropriately staffed.

I love taking my daughter and son there after my daughter's gymnastics classes because they always have an amazing selection of toys and we almost always find something really cool on sale. Sometimes I let my kids walk around and pick out the things they would want for their birthdays. Then, when it's time to start shopping, I already have a list of gifts I know they'll love. It makes birthday shopping so much easier! The owner is incredibly kind, and every staff member we've met has been friendly and helpful. And how cool is it that they'll even wrap birthday presents for you? As a man with minimal to nonexistent wrapping skills, I find this service incredibly valuable. If you're looking for a great place to buy toys, birthday gifts, or something special for your kids, please support Beyond the Blackboard. It's a wonderful store run by wonderful people, and they deserve all the business they can get!
