Things To Do Calendar

One of our favorite flower and gift shops, Sacred Thistle, partners with Dram Apothocary to host the Krampus Holiday Market! Free entry for all, and we'll enjoy drinks crafted by DRAM plus we'll get to shop lots of Colorado based vendors, all hand selected by Sacred Thistle. 3pm - 8pm.

Put on your best Ugly Christmas Sweater cause we're wearing 'em while we pitch in and help the Food Bank of the Rockies from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the second annual Ugly Sweater Volunteering Party. The food bank’s warehouse, which serves 500 hunger-relief programs each year, needs our help. There's an after-party, too with a build-your-own hot chocolate station and a taco bar plus trophies will be awarded for the BEST ugly sweaters. Interested? Contact spokeswoman Kristina Thomas at kthomas@foodbankrockies.org

Get all your Holiday shopping done at The Holiday Flea. $5 bucks gets you in and access to tons of Denver based companies, all under one roof at the Sports Castle building at 1000 Broadway Street! The party starts this Friday night and for those that purchase a $30 ticket, you can enjoy bottomless holiday beverages at the kickoff party! Get all your Holiday Flea info, here.

A very pretentious LA friend once asked us who our florist was and we deeply (deeply) rolled our eyes. But after having Flower Bombers create gorgeous bouquets for a recent event, we COMPLETELY get why having a florist you love and trust is important. When we saw this bouquet, "Sweater Weather," we completely changed our decor and color palette to match it, as we found it just so lovely in all its Anthropologie-inspired perfectness. MORE GOOD STUFF: We also love free delivery, a choice of an always creative succulent arrangement and, as we did, if you're having a party, they will build mini-flower arrangements that match your bigger bouquet. Perfect for spreading around your tablescape or home. See selection and pricing, here. Photo: Andrea Watson

Bottle Rocket makes the cut as one of our favorite liquor stores for their completely non-intimidating approach to booze shopping. They're knowledgeable and friendly with a killer craft beer list, tons of wine in the $25 and under price range and you can always find a wide arrange of liquor from local Colorado crafters. MORE GOOD STUFF: Need a hostess gift? They can put a Bloody Mary kit together for you featuring local vodka and The Real Dill Bloody Mary Mix. Check out store location and hours, here.

Cheese + Provisions make really amazing artisan cheese and cured meats boards that will wow your guests and free up your party-planning time. You can let Cheese + Provisions design your platter or let them know what your favorite meats and cheese are. They work from all different price points, as well. BEST THING EVER: They have a whole page on their website dedicated to which cheeses pair with which beer and wine, taking the guesswork out of your wine store visit. Find the cheese pairing guide, here. And you can find more information on ordering and pricing your platter, here.

Give back to your body and soul this winter with an adventurous 3 night, 4 day mini-vacay near Estes Park, from February 23 - 26, 2017, lead by one of our favorite adventurers, and yoga instructors, Natalie Magee. You can try your hand at snowshoe hiking, practice yoga, lounge in a hot tub and make wonderful friends. Best of all, Natalie has made all arrangements for lodging and meals, so you don't have a thing to think about, except recharging and enjoying yourself! DETAILS: Retreat to take place at Sunshine Mountain Lodge , click here for pricing and additional activity options, depending on interest.

We crave beautifully designed spaces and the The Art is a stunner (just try and get off the fourth floor elevator and not have your jaw drop). When the weather is mild, there's no better place than the Fire Terrace for a cocktail and Denver rooftop views (grab a booth with its very own fire pit). When things get chilly, the Fire Lounge provides stunning views of the city, and we can't think of a better treat than a sunset, there. Pro Tip: grab a table by the far wall for maximum viewage.

Winter is coming (we swear) and if you're like us, you love a beautiful hotel fireplace to cozy up in front of it. Have you been to The Study at Hotel Teatro? You must! First, pop into The Nickel for amazing American fare (the Short Ribs & the Caledonian Prawns are out of this world). But then take your S'mores dessert and hot toddy (they even make one that's vegan) and enjoy it in front of the warmth of the fireplace at The Study.

You've got to check out Fish N Beer, the new concept in RiNo from Chef Kevin Morrison (of Tacos Tequila Whiskey). His Oysters are some of the best we've ever ate, and we're East Coasters. What to Try: House Oysters (with garlic butter & Parmesan) and the Blowfish Tails (the blackened aioli that comes with this is FANTASTIC). You'll get to pair all this goodness with some great Ratio Beers, as well as some iconic American beers.
