THE CONCEPT
Wish Gifts is the brainchild of owner Lisa Figlino, who was looking to provide one-stop shopping for unique gifts that you’ll feel good about giving. Founded in 2014, Wish Gifts has since been voted Best Gift Shop 5 years in a row by 5280 Magazine readers and also voted Best Baby/Kids’ Boutique 4 years running. A clear favorite for Denver locals, Lisa has since expanded her boutiques into 5 distinct Wish stores with various locations in Denver. Whether you’re looking for thoughtful, funny and chic gifts for those on your list, unique additions for your home, accessories, handbags and even a few gifts for the guys in your life; Wish stores have got you covered.
Psst… did we mention Wish Gifts also recently launched their online shop.
