Nest on Mainstreet in downtown Parker isn't a typical gift store; it's a treasure trove! The moment you walk up the red brick pathway onto the quaint cottage porch with its scalloped trim, charm greets you everywhere: rocking chairs, floral garlands, wreaths, signs, pots spilling over with foliage and holiday decor. Green farmhouse doors open to a gift-wonderland. There is something for everyone at an extensive range of price points.
Owner Shannon Carter has curated a collection of products displayed in vignettes on farm tables, in vintage buffet cabinets, hanging from artificial trees and tucked in nooks throughout the homey space. "I think the quality and the amount of time that I spend procuring particular items really make Nest unique and wonderful," Shannon explains.
Holiday items fill the store and change with the seasons. Glass-textured and colored pumpkins, fall candles, small skeletons and Autumn gifts transition to winter and Christmas surprises. Pine-scented candles, ornaments and colorful decor rest on fabulous and creative displays. Spring and Summer follow with more seasonal options that you won't find in many big-box stores.
Nest isn't just for ladies either. Men have their own section of gifts that you won’t find anywhere else. You’ll even find kids and pets represented. Humorous sayings on coasters, kitchen towels and other merchandise populate the shelves and walls. Jewelry is displayed throughout the store, along with a wide range of other items.
Shannon suggests a few popular and unique gifts from the Nest inventory to give someone special in your life.
Candles
1803 Candles are 100% soy and packaged whimsically, making them charming and suitable for any occasion and priced reasonably. Nest is the only store in Parker that carries this line.
Poured New York offers upscale, hand-poured candles with rich aromas, packaged in elegant, earth-toned floral gift boxes.
Archipelago Bath and Body
Botanically-based products from Archipelago are an indulgence. Shannon carries a variety of their products. Some favorites include the refined glass round bottles of bubble bath that can be used or beautifully displayed in a bathroom. Their lotions are made from clean, natural ingredients in layered scents that moisturize and pamper the body.
Wine Savant Decanters
These creative sets are a perfect gift for the person who is hard to buy for. Glass decanters and shot glass sets come in various shapes, including footballs, miniature golf carts and motorcycles. They can be used for liquor and other beverages that suit any occasion.
