The Real Dill
Top Sellers Collection ($50)
You may be familiar with The Real Dill. Perhaps you have sampled some of their creative, crunchy, flavorful pickles. Maybe, like many of us at Manufacturer’s Edge, your weekend brunch isn’t complete without a “dill-icious” Real Dill Bloody Mary. Whether you are seasoned pro or a Real Dill rookie, this sampler collection is an excellent way to get your dill on. Currently on sale for only $50, the collection is a great deal and automatically qualifies for free shipping — in case you want to share some local flavor with your out-of-state friends. The best part, though, is that you will also be contributing to an organization that believes in giving back to the community. The folks at The Real Dill are proud to be a zero-food waste company and, as part of the Charitable Partner Program, they also raise about $10,000 a year for local charities!

Bullet Bouquets Shooter’s Cufflinks ($18.95)
For a uniquely Colorado gift, check out Bullet Bouquets. The company features an eclectic line of products ranging from these fashionable cufflinks to Christmas ornaments, hair clips, and small statuettes made to look like potted flowers. Many people will simply admire the beautiful floral design, only some will recognize that each flower is actually created from a previously fired bullet. Started by an artist in Parker, Bullet Bouquets is what happens when you cross an artist/tinkerer with a marksman/entrepreneur and add in a healthy dash of Colorado outdoor enthusiasm.
