Betty Ford Alpine Gardens gift shop hosts party at new location

Betty Ford Alpine Gardens is excited to announce the grand opening of its newly relocated gift shop at 244 Wall St. just below the Gondola One (No. 1) and next to the Burton store in Vail Village. To celebrate, the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens will host a festive holiday party on Dec. 4 from 5-8 p.m., inviting locals and visitors alike to explore the new space, shop for unique gifts and learn more about how every purchase supports the mission of the nonprofit botanical garden.

The gift shop offers a carefully curated selection of goods that embody sustainability and support local artisans. From elegant cashmere scarves and silk robes to handcrafted statement pieces and fragrant candles, each item is thoughtfully chosen to reflect the beauty and spirit of the alpine environment. The boutique’s new location provides a chic and welcoming space to shop for one-of-a-kind gifts while knowing that every purchase directly benefits the Betty Ford Alpine Gardens and efforts to protect the alpine ecosystem.

“As we enter the holiday season, we are thrilled to share our new space with the community,” said Susan Swimm, buyer for the gift shop. “This shop is more than just a place to buy gifts, it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful impact. Every item sold helps support our conservation and education programs, ensuring the preservation of the alpine environment for future generations.”

As a special thank you for attending the grand opening celebration, customers will receive 20% off their dinner at two of Vail’s favorite restaurants, Mountain Standard and Sweet Basil, with any purchase at the gift shop. The offer is valid this night only.

Join the grand opening celebration and enjoy light refreshments, a raffle drawing every 30 minutes and start your holiday shopping with a purpose.
