This shop is well worth a visit if you're visiting Manitou Springs, and Christmas things aren't the only thing on offer either - there are plenty of other things to choose from. We found a room spray we loved, but unfortunately so did everyone else so it was completely sold out, however we were offered the tester bottle to take home free of charge which I thought was really exceptional customer service. We also found something else we liked and bought that too. Definitely worth having a look even in the summer months!
