Shopping locally means supporting businesses that create jobs, foster relationships, and keep resources circulating close to home. It's about building the community you live and work in, making each transaction more meaningful than one might initially think.
In particular, supporting women-owned businesses adds an extra layer of impact: uplifting creativity, amplifying diverse voices, and paving the way for future women entrepreneurs.
Every dollar spent locally is an investment in dreams, innovation, and a more inclusive, thriving community. Each choice to shop locally is a ripple of support growing into lasting change, and Wolf & Wren Press exemplifies this beautifully.
Why Wolf & Wren Press Deserves the Spotlight
Wolf & Wren Press works hard to preserve the art of letterpress printing in our modern world.
Founded by best friends Lauren Stapleton (based right here in Longmont, CO) and Liz Wolf (based in Rockford, IL), their collaboration blends artistry, handwritten messaging, and heartfelt design to create stationery that feels as special as the moments you share it.
Every piece radiates warmth, wit, and care, making it more than just a card but a keepsake.
Their commitment to values that resonate deeply with us at Longmont Hearing and Tinnitus Center makes them a perfect candidate for our Love Local spotlight this month.
Wolf & Wren Press is a devoted member of 1% for the Planet, emphasizing sustainability alongside their artistic endeavors. Their cards are not only carbon neutral but also contribute to protecting the world we all share.
By supporting Wolf & Wren Press, you're also backing sustainability and creativity, reinforcing the essential human connections that make our communities flourish.
What Makes Wolf & Wren Press Special
Wolf & Wren Press creates cards that are truly unique and from the heart.
Their brick-and-mortar shop is just as wonderful as their online store, filled with all kinds of fun and thoughtful gift ideas. Anyone searching for a special gift or a card for any occasion is sure to find something they’ll love.
The genuine care that goes into each design at Wolf & Wren Press is palpable. It's something I can vouch for personally; a pet sympathy card they created became a treasured keepsake for me after the loss of my beloved dog.
This design, "Pet Sympathy – Dog Shadow," was crafted with such warmth that it was honored with national recognition, winning in the Sympathy ($5.50 & Below) category and being named Card of the Year – $5.50 & Below at the 2025 Louie Awards.
I'm not surprised it has touched many others deeply, as it did for me.
