What is the Story behind Odds & Ends?
Odds & Ends Emporium wants to be your first stop for unique toys and gifts, whether you are in the market for a baby shower gift, a child’s birthday, a puzzle for a snowy day, or a “congrats on dumping that jerk- lets get rid of that smell” candle.
We sought out our favorite local and national makers, artists, and vendors, and a couple international brands, to warm your heart, bring you comfort, and make you laugh.
We hope you love our vision as much as we loved creating it!
~Keely & Erin, Owners at Odds & Ends
We are proud to support under served, under represented, and marginalized artists and authors located in the Colorado Springs Community, The USA, and around the World.
