Jewish Women International giftwrapping service, in the Hallmark Gold Crown shop near the Subway at Cherry Creek shopping center, 3000 E. First Ave., Denver
Rollin’ out.
After 22 years of fundraising by gift-wrapping, the former B’nai B’rith Women’s service is going out of business. It’s selling nearly everything — gift wrap for all occasions, boxes, ribbons and bows. Besides gift wrap, there are tables, cabinets and other furniture, some free for early-arriving opportunists. Everything must be out of the obscure location — a factor in this nonprofit service’s demise — by Wednesday.

Little MissMatched Socks, at specialty shops throughout Colorado, about $8 per set;
Ho-ho-hosiery.
Only the Grinchiest girl would be unamused by the festive colors and whimsical patterns of the Little Missmatched socks, sold exclusively in sets of three. The colors and patterns coordinate, pretty much, for an artsy/ gypsy effect. The website’s “Store Finder” link lists more than two dozen Colorado stores carrying the socks.
