1. Pick Out Something Thoughtful & Local
Supporting our local makers is what keeps Littleton’s character so unique, a huge selling point for homeowners in the area. This year, skip the generic online orders and find a gift that tells a story.
- Artisan Florals: For bouquets with a “wow” factor, visit Happy Canyon Flowers for modern artistry, or stop by Arapahoe Floral, a trusted community staple since 1989.
- Handcrafted Treasures: Explore Willow and Tulaire in Historic Downtown for curated home décor, or Curate: A Local Mercantile at Aspen Grove, which features unique products from over 100 Colorado makers.
- A “Nostalgic” Find: For something quirky and fun, General Store 45 on Main Street is perfect for unique gifts and Colorado-themed treats.
2. Plan an Unforgettable Experience
Littleton offers a “lifestyle” pace that is hard to find elsewhere. Take advantage of our scenic spots and wellness retreats to give Mom a day of relaxation.
- A Walk in the Blooms: Treat her to a morning stroll at Hudson Gardens. Early May is typically peak bloom, making it the most photogenic spot in the city.
- The Gift of Pampering: A gift certificate to Five Wellbeing Spa offers a peaceful, luxury retreat right in our historic district.
- Local Tip: If Mom loves gardening, a trip to Creek Side Gardens to pick out seasonal planters is a wonderful way to spend a sunny afternoon together.
3. Treat Her to Brunch
