Holidays & Giving:

Peruse a Selection of Elevated Local Gift Options

The Light That Lasts

As the twinkle lights go up around town and the scent of pine fills our homes, there’s a familiar feeling that comes over us—hope. The kind that reminds us that even in the busyness of life, there’s still magic to be found in giving, sharing, and pausing to cherish the reason this season is bright and the people behind it.

This month’s issue is all about gifts that give back—to your loved ones, your community, and even your future. Our Ultimate Gift Guide highlights some of Broomfield’s brightest local gems, from sparkling treasures at Jewelfire Diamonds to the soothing escape of Woodhouse Spa, smooth sips from The Park Wine & Spirits, bold beard care from Doc Goodbeard, and the perfect sushi stop at Matsumotto Sushi & Grill.

When you shop local, you’re not just checking off a list—you’re investing in your neighbors, strengthening local families, and helping our community thrive. Each purchase keeps creativity, service, and passion alive right here in Broomfield, turning every gift into something far more meaningful.

We’re also celebrating the gifts that last, like the thoughtful idea of turning holiday generosity into a college fund, shared by local financial advisor David Manley. And for families keeping the wonder alive, our Santa feature is filled with fun ways to sprinkle a little extra magic and laughter into your Christmas traditions.

So, as you turn these pages with a cup of cocoa (or a glass of wine), may you find inspiration to give generously, love deeply, and believe boldly in the beauty of this season.

From all of us at Broomfield Lifestyle, Merry Christmas—and may your days be filled with peace, joy, and the kind of hope that lasts well beyond the holidays.

With love and gratitude,

A Local’s Guide to Level-Up Your Santa Game!

You bet Santa is at Flatiron Crossing Mall and the Broomfield Tree Lighting on December 5th—doing the classic “smile, pose, listen to a child explain why their brother should get fewer presents” thing.

Did you also know about the Santa House at Larkridge Shopping Center, December 18–22? Rumor says it’s so magical that even grown adults start believing again—usually around the time they smell cinnamon and see a toddler lick a candy cane they absolutely should not have licked. We even added the full Larkridge business directory to help you master procrastinators who make last-minute shopping your number one priority.

COOKIES ARE OUT. DONUTS ARE IN. MILK IS BASICALLY A CRIME.

Santa has evolved. He’s a man of culture now. Oreos? Chips Ahoy? Cute. Vintage. Outdated. He wants donuts. And not the kind wrapped in plastic that tastes like sweetened packing foam. He wants the real deal—The Donut House in Thornton. Handmade, glorious, life-altering pastries that make Santa forget about the time he fell out of the sleigh over Nebraska.

And please, for the love of Frosty, stop leaving milk. The man is 1,750 years old. He is one lactose-heavy sip away from a catastrophic chimney emergency. Upgrade to White Rabbit Coffee Co. Espresso. Cold brew. Drip strong enough to resurrect a gingerbread man.

CHRISTMAS MORNING SCAVENGER HUNT, AKA: MAKING SANTA CHAOTIC GOOD

Who says Santa is only for the kids? He sees you. He knows who assembled a 162step play kitchen at 2 a.m. He wants to reward that trauma.

Imagine a Christmas morning scavenger hunt for your spouse where Santa clearly made stops at:

• Duluth Trading Co (flannel MVP)

• Haute Yoga (flexibility: not just for elves)

• Cycle Gear (because Rudolph isn’t the only one who likes horsepower)

• Bassett Home Furnishings (Santa 100% napped on a sofa)

• PetSmart (the reindeer demanded treats) String clues. Hide surprises. Watch your better half sprint around the house like a caffeinated golden retriever. New tradition unlocked. Relationship bonus points applied. Santa reputation: legendary.

Turning Holiday Generosity Into a College Fund

Give the Gift

That Grows

Picture this: wrapping paper is flying, kids are giggling, and the living room is scattered with toys that—let’s be honest—might lose their magic by New Year’s. But what if one of those gifts didn’t fade? What if it quietly built value over time helping open the doors to your child or grandchild’s dream school?

“This season is about generosity and preparing for what matters most,” says Dave Manley, Financial Advisor with Summit Financial Strategies and New York Life, whose office is located right here in Broomfield. “For families with children, it’s the perfect time to give a gift that grows—an investment in education.”

A SEASON FOR SMART GIVING

Most families are familiar with 529 college savings plans, which allow money to grow tax-free when used for qualified educational expenses. Contributions can come from parents, grandparents, or even family friends, making 529s a popular, flexible tool for college savings.

But while 529s are valuable, they aren’t the only way to help students get ahead.

BEYOND THE 529: EXPANDING THE POSSIBILITIES

Some families may benefit from alternative funding strategies that combine flexibility with growth potential. For example, cash value life insurance can accumulate funds on a tax-advantaged basis and provide future access for education or other needs—without the strict spending rules of a 529.

Similarly, custodial accounts (UGMA or UTMA) allow assets to be used for a child’s broader goals, such as a first car, internship costs, or even seed money for a business. Each approach carries unique benefits depending on your family’s goals, tax situation, and desired level of control.

“The most effective strategy may involve a blend of tools,” Manley adds, “using a 529 for predictable education costs while leveraging other accounts for added flexibility and longterm opportunity.”

THIS SEASON’S SPECIAL OPPORTUNITY

The Scholar’s Choice Matching Program offers a limited-time incentive: when you open a new 529 account, you’ll receive a $118 matching gift and become eligible for up to $2,500 in additional matching funds. It’s a meaningful way to turn holiday generosity into a lasting educational opportunity.

MAKE IT FUN FOR THE KIDS

A college fund may not feel as exciting as a new toy—but you can make it tangible. Pair your contribution with a small keepsake, like a “Future Graduate” ornament, a piggy bank, or a children’s book about dreaming big. It turns a smart financial gift into a moment your child can celebrate and remember.

“I would give Kelsi and her team my highest recommendation. Under very difficult circumstances, she was calm, professional, kind and compassionate. She was on top of every detail, and communicated extremely well. In short, her services were flawless. Our family is most grateful and will never forget her kindness.” ~Cathy Babington Scan code to learn more about

CRAFTING CHEER:

DIY WINTER CRAFTS

ARTICLE BY ERICA BIBB PHOTOGRAPHY BY JANIE JONES

ORNAMENT CLUSTERS

SUPPLIES

• 22 gauge wire

• Ornaments of at least 3 varying shades and sizes

• Wire snips

STEP 1

Cut desired length of wire for a cluster, about 24”

STEP 2

Add an ornament about 4” from one end of the wire and twist the wire around the top of the ornament to provide a base for your cluster. Twist about 5 times. You should still have about 4” of wire at the end; you will need it to tie onto your garland, tree, or wreath.

STEP 3

Continue adding ornaments to the wire, alternating sizes and colors until you have 4-6” of wire remaining.

STEP 4

Twist the remaining wire around the top of your final ornament 5 times to secure all of your ornaments in place. Making sure to leave at least 4” of wire in place at the end in order to tie onto garland, tree, or wreath.

STEP 5

Use the ends of the wire to attach to your holiday item of choice!!

Pro tip: Keep your clusters to the 24” length to keep from getting too heavy and/or having ornaments pop off. Ornaments will pop off at times, but they will still look gorgeous and you can always glue the ornament back onto to the top. Simple, gorgeous, and impactful!
