When the ordinary bouquet just will not do, pop into this shop in the trendy Highland area. This shop creates floral arrangements with a funky flair, blending eucalyptus, orchids and twigs with traditional flowers. An accompanying shop features an extensive selection of candles, glass vases, jewelry, aromatherapy accessories and unique house wares, which make it easy to pick a masculine or feminine gift for any occasion.
This libation shop offers wine, spirits and beer to quench the thirst of those with discriminating tastes. This is not your average liquor store; shopping here feels more like raiding a rich uncle's wine cellar. Wines are stacked and arranged by region and type rather than price, and most selections lean towards the high end (Ernest & Julio Gallo fans may feel intimidated by the elitist selection). Roaming clerks are available to answer any question you have about wine. Or just give up and grab a cold six-pack of beer from their cooler.
St Killian's cheese shop, located next to the main Highland shopping district, is the best specialty cheese store in Denver.

Be sure to check out St Killian's cheese making demos!
For musicians interested in folk, bluegrass, or all manner of acoustic music, this music house is a must visit.

This shop also lays claim to having the largest assortment of picks in Denver.
Campus Cycles center is a rare find in the often pretentious world of bike shops. The friendly staff and service department, with more than 50 years of bike industry experience, welcomes everyone regardless of knowledge or skill level. After years of operating out of a cramped space the owners moved the shop 10 blocks down the road to a larger building. Hence, Denver's best bike shop became better. Check out the latest mountain and road bikes from Giant, Gary Fisher, GT and Lemond, as well as the latest fashions from Pearl Izumi and Fox.
