The Artisan Center

My favorite shop in Denver! Beautiful, unique gifts from local artisans. Support local artists and find the perfect gift. There is jewelry, great lotions, scarves, purses, stationary, beautiful picture frames, cute books, and more. Their inventory is constantly changing so each time you go you’ll find something new and wonderful.

Absolutely adore this place !!! They have such cute & unique gifts and trinkets !! This is my spot to shop for any special gifts I may need !! It’s so cozy & inviting

We just got done with a very positive experience at the artisan center. The staff was very courteous, helpful, and friendly. The art itself was wonderful, and far more reasonably priced than we ever expected! I would highly recommend this for anybody looking for artistic gifts in the Denver area.

Another great local gift shop in the Denver area. I’ve always passed right by this store while running errands in Cherry Creek North. Finally came in and was impressed by the huge and random selection of products. There are tons of jewelry, many from local artists as well as many things for the home plus toiletries, greeting cards, hats, scarves, etc. The place was pretty busy right around opening time on a Sunday morning. Very unique yet fun and popular store in the area. The visit was a success as I found the gifts I was looking for and also got some ideas for xmas presents. If there is any downside to this store is that there are wayy too many staff eager to help you when you are still trying to decide what to purchase.

This is the first shop i go to when I am shopping for a gift. Colorado owned. It’s a fun and unique gift shop with items in all price ranges. Kind and thoughtful employees. Gift wrapping is a nice touch. My favorite items are the elegant candles, body products and the wide assortment of greeting cards.

Great place! Great products! Great vibe & ambiance!
This is the most amazing gift shop (even for gifts for yourself… or maybe especially). This is my go-​to place for cards. They also have excellent after-​holiday sales.

Assuming you may have gift interest in mind for a loved one, or perhaps a little something cool to accent your already eclectic home décor or fashion sense, then I suggest strongly that you visit this little gem of a store in Cherry Creek.
It won’t disappoint and the staff, (especially you Phoebe) are top notch in handling any questions or requests you may have.
Lastly, I have to agree wholeheartedly with whomever wrote the comment about the gift wrapping… it’s simply superb!
Thanks…I can’t wait to visit again.

I walked in 15 minutes before they closed on Christmas Eve 2013 and the staff was welcoming and friendly. That’s the true test of retail– if staff are still helpful and friendly at the end of the holiday shopping season! I had realized that I didn’t have a gift for my motherinlaw –big oops!- and they had the best handmade and locally made gifts. Found the perfect picture frame and glass ornament for her! And they wrapped it for FREE super cute in a flash, all with a smile. On Christmas Eve!!! This is my go-​to shop for gifts.

OMG… I need to stay the heck away from this store, otherwise I will spend ALL of my hard earned money here.
I love absolutely everything in this little boutique. EVERYTHING. In fact, if I had opened a store, I would stock the exact same things. Walking into this store is like a dream come true, it’s like someone looked into my heart and said, «lets stock everything that your heart desires» and put it in a small intimate shoppe. I am inevitably drawn to this store and have purchased all kinds of sweet items (necklaces, pendants, bracelets and scarves). I love that they source stuff from local artisans… being a small artisan myself, I appreciate this nod to local talent. I am a huge supporter of local shops and this store epitomizes the «shop local» ideology. It’s a small cozy little store and has a myriad of treasures, it’s stuffed to the gills with awesome little finds. I come here for christmas gifts and birthday gifts, you absolutely can do no wrong purchasing a gift for a loved one from here.
A must visit in Cherry Creek !

All sorts of great handicrafts and quirky gifts.
Many are sourced from local artists as well.
N.B.: They just expanded next door a bit.

I love love love this store. They have an amazing selection of jewelry and crafts and cool stuff to decorate your house with. They also do gift wrapping. Support your local artists!

Like Megan W. I have walked by this place twenty times when it’s already closed. I finally took a half day at work, ended up in Cherry Creek and made sure I stopped by so I could finally see inside.
Very cozy and intimate inside, unique items cover ever corner of the inside. I enjoyed perusing all the jewelry, necklaces, hats, scarves, glassware, pottery, note cards, frames, and everything else in between. Most items appear to be locally made. You can find items for $ 8 as well as items for over $ 100. Mom, sister, daughter, son, infant, you could find something for everyone. This will definitely be a most stop for presents for friends and family.
So happy I was finally able to stop in, this was the first of many more visits.

One of my all time favorite stores! They have an amazing inventory in a very small space. The staff is friendly and helpful and the owner is an honest hard working gal!
LOVE how they wrap your gifts up for free! I always love shopping here!

This is a fantastic store for unique, high quality gifts at varied price points. You are sure to find something special for just about anyone, male or female, young or old. They have Zutano and Jellycat (amongst many other brands) for children and well known brands like Michael Aram and Illume for adults. It is as easy to find something special for $ 8.00 – wonderful Lollia hand cream, for example, as it is to find a more expensive gift. They also have an extensive card collection and beautiful complimentary giftwrapping. Literally a one stop shop!

It is overpriced gifty items, but they are super friendly here. I paid $ 12 for a «book» of cutesy post-​it notes. However, if you are looking for little gifts for someone that you are not 100% what to get them (especially for girls) you might find something here.
They do an awesome job of free gift wrapping, so I guess the inflated price makes up for that.
Check it out if you find yourself wandering the streets of CC.

The fact that this place is has been in Cherry Creek North for over 30 years says something positive. Most other boutiques don’t last long because they’re only good for window shopping, and saying they are in Cherry Creek North before joining the mounting 3^rd Street Casualty List.
When I’m in the ‘hood, I inevitably walk in here (cool half door), not just because it’s a cool place to buy a gift, but because it makes me smile. There’s something for everyone, providing that someone is usually a chick.
Last time I was in there a few days ago, they reminded me they have 4 buyers, very cool. Staff is friendly and helpful, cards and knicknacks from cute to silly to poignant. They go from pricey all the way down to spark spewing nuns.
As another review pointed out, aisle space isn’t big, more suited to The Cherry Creek Waif Club. Should you sport an ample buttocks, you might inadvertently buy some perfume.
One of the few places left that will do a nice wrapping job, even for inexpensive purchases. This place hasn’t been around for 30 years by sucking.

Love love love the Artisan Center. This is my go-​to place for cards, gifts, and anytime I’m looking for «a little something». They also have obsessively beautiful, unique jewelry for all tastes (and price ranges). The staff is very knowledgeable (quiz them on any artist they feature in the store!) and can help you select just the right thing, or they’ll leave you alone to peruse.
Some staple items I love:
— Cards and stationery
— Jewelry (! !)
— Candles and soaps
— Birdhouses (made with license plate roofs)
— Glass ornaments (hanging above the register)
— Baby clothes
The gift wrapping is beautiful, as others have said, and I always make a stop out front to see what small treasures are on sale.

My daughter introduced this place to me a couple years ago. I really like that you never know what you are going to find here. It isn’t cookie cutter like some places — just about everything is a work art here (hence the name).

My family and I walked by this store a few weeks ago moments after it had closed, so, being the normal folk we are, we all squished our faces against the windows to see what we had missed. Turns out a lot. Just from the Christmas trees in the windows we all picked out about a hundred things we would like, and in fact I was sent back to get a certain birdcage ornament.
When I actually perused the store, I found things that all of my friends and family would love. Lotions, potions, and baubles! OH MY! The staff was very friendly, but stayed out of my way. I also really liked the lack of pretension. Thanks for restoring my faith in the charm and sparkle of Cherry Creek!

As one of the few remaining local businesses in Cherry Creek North (thanks to Chris Anschutz), The Artisan Center is a great place to find an affordable gift or a treat for yourself. Most of their jewelry is done by locals (thus «Artisan» Center) and they have lots of cool and funky kitchen and bath items as well as unusual cards and stationary.
Go on a mid-​week afternoon especially if you’re claustrophobic as the store is very small — watch your elbows or you might knock something over.
Beautiful complimentary gift wrap is a big plus, especially during the holidays.
