Online Shopping
I’m a big advocate of shopping locally or shopping during your travels, however, we all have friends and family that live far away that we want to remember at different times throughout the year. Plus sometimes we can’t find what we want locally, so we often shop online for ourselves.
I’ve surfed the Internet and have found some of the most alluring shopping Web sites around. I invite you to browse through the lovely online boutiques I often feature in blog posts under my Shopping category.
The below online boutiques figure among my favorites and even better, they are all offering a 10% discount to Bonjour Colorado readers. Be sure to enter Bonjour in the promo code or mention Bonjour Colorado to receive this added reduction.

The Finest Chocolates and Other Irresistible Treats
O.K., I hate to be boastful but I do know a thing or two about chocolate. I once conducted Chocolate Lovers’ Tours in Paris and chocolate shops have always been prominently featured in my books. Thank God I discovered Telluride Truffle just a couple of weeks after having moved to Telluride. These chocolates are extraordinary and in my expert opinion, rival those of Paris’s most renowned chocolatiers. Go to TellurideTruffle.com to begin your shopping now. Type in promo code Bonjour in the Redeem Coupon Box to receive your 10% discount on online orders.
Tempting Toffee
Just outside of Telluride, there’s a little lady by the name of Ruth that makes the most mouth-watering toffee you’ll ever taste. Her crunchy almond confection, known as Ruth’s Toffee, has become a favorite of mine since I first tasted it some time ago. It’s easy to tell that it’s artisanally made and heaps of love are added to every batch. The price is right, too. Mention Bonjour Colorado to receive a 10% discount.
Alpine Treasures
Alpen Schatz Swiss Dog Collars
Alpen Schatz started out by importing Swiss dog collars, beautiful handcrafted works that depict alpine scenes in brass and silver on leather bands. Men and women can also be a part of the 250-year old tradition from the Alps by donning a fashionable belt, also adorned with the same iconic images of Switzerland. You can find these along with Italian silk scarves, Edelweiss-inspired jewelry, imported felt hats and home furnishings such as hand painted Old World wooden wall plaques and traditional European arts and crafts including holiday table ornaments, both of which are pictured above. Mary Dawn DeBraie, a proud Europhile who lived many years in Germany and England, founded Alpen Schatz, the Web-based company and its showcase boutique. They’re located in Telluride, so stop by next time you’re in town! Alpen Schatz is offering BonjourColorado.com readers a 10% discount on online orders. Just type in Bonjour upon check out to receive your special price.
The Best Toys and More for Cats and Dogs
Hours of Play with Purrfect Play
Who doesn’t want to spoil their pets? If you (or your friends and family) have a cat you absolutely must order some of Purrfect Play’s organic cat toys. They are the best ever—I promise you. My two babies delighted in months of sniffing, snuggling and kicking with these products, all made from organic, natural fibers. I have not tested Purrfect Play’s dog toys but I can only imagine that they’re a big hit with the pups as well. Type in promo code Bonjour to receive your 10% discount.
