Check out Colorado stocking stuffer gifts for her.
Fairtrade Socks
Socks are an obvious stocking stuffer choice, but these colorful, boldly patterned ones by Conscientious Step are a bit less predictable. They’re fairtrade certified, plus each design donates a set amount to a specific cause like providing safe water, fighting hunger or planting trees. $14.95 each, Judith & Joe, 3040 Blake St., #100, judithandjoeshop.com
Italian Leather Wallet
Skip the basic men’s wallet gift this year and instead opt for one of Remo Tulliani‘s colored versions. Made from the same high quality Italian leather used for Tulliani’s belts, they’re available in a wide array of seasonal hues. $90, Moda Man, 1459 Larimer St., 303-862-5949, modaman.com
Brass Luggage Tags
Is your man a world traveler? These brass luggage tags from Orvis will spiffy up the look of his luggage, as well as help him identify it easier—especially once you have them engraved with his name and contact info. $39 for a set of 3, Orvis, 2770 E. 2nd Ave., 303-355-4554, orvis.com
Waterproof Commuter Bag
Colorado’s unpredictable weather means the commuting man always needs to be prepared for rain or snow.
