What We Love About Colorado
There are so many great things about Colorado that it would be nearly impossible to list them all, but here are our top six:
Mountains
Colorado boasts some of the best mountains in the country and offers a wide variety of outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and boating. There’s always something fun to do in the mountains at any time of the year!
Sunshine
Florida might be the “Sunshine State” but you’ll get plenty of vitamin D here too! There’s abundant sunshine in Colorado which is perfect for meeting up with friends at a beer garden or climbing one of our many mountains.
Emerging food scene
Colorado has an emerging food scene that’s making headlines around the world. In 2017, Zagat ranked Denver its fourth most exciting food city in the United States, and it’s understandable why. Food halls, gastropubs, and practically every type of cuisine you can think of, there are good eats everywhere you turn.
Amazing coffee and roasteries
Grab a coffee on your way to work or sit down and relax over a warm mug at one of the many amazing coffee shops and roasteries in Colorado. These places are brewing up some of the best coffee in the country and many roasteries sell online so you can brew and enjoy at home.
Red Rocks
Red Rocks is an iconic amphitheater and park that hosts a variety of concerts, shows, and events. This naturally formed, world-famous outdoor entertainment venue is near Morrison, Colorado, and just fifteen miles west of Denver.
People watching
From Aspen to Rino, there’s no shortage of amazing people watching! Pick a spot at a park, outdoor restaurant, or sidewalk cafe and enjoy the scenery all while soaking in that beautiful Colorado sunshine.
4 Colorado Essentials You Should Have
Regardless if you’re a Coloradan or a visitor, these items are essentials for walking around the city or hiking in the mountains. No matter what your interests are, you’ll find that these products will come in handy and make your experience all the better.
1
Jacket
The saying, "If you don't like the weather, wait fifteen minutes," is particularly true for Colorado. The weather here can be sunny and warm one day to overcast and snowing the next. Jackets are a Colorado essential since they’re not too bulky and can fit into a bag when you don’t need them, yet they’re warm enough when the temperature drops unexpectedly.
2
Reusable Water Bottle
Stay hydrated in the city or mountains with a reusable water bottle. Not only is it good for your health, but it’s also beneficial for the planet. Ditch single-use plastic water bottles for an insulated water bottle that will keep your water cool and refreshing.
3
Portable Charger
Keep your electronics juiced up and ready to go with a portable charger or power bank. Skip the stress of trying to find an electrical outlet or conserve a dying phone battery by carrying around your very own power source. Efficient, portable, and sleek, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that a full battery is always within reach.
4
Backpack
Protect, organize, and carry your essentials in a durable and stylish backpack. Make sure that your backpack has enough storage like a padded laptop compartment, quick-access pockets, and a side water bottle pocket. Padded shoulder straps are also a good idea to ensure all-day comfort, whether you’re going to meetings or hitting up a trail.
Proud to Call Colorado Home
As you can see, there are many reasons why we love living and working in Colorado. One of the reasons why we choose Denver as our headquarters is because we love helping other local businesses share their love of Colorado through client and employee gifts that recipients will enjoy when they’re taking advantage of all the amazing things this state has to offer. Let our team help you select and customize the perfect corporate gift to show off your Colorado pride!
