Try This: Forth, the RiNo Shop for Plants, Mugs and Gifts

Forth on Blake Street in RiNo stocks plants, ceramics, home goods and gifts, and it's open six days a week until mid-afternoon.

If you've got a birthday, a housewarming or just a sad empty shelf coming up, put Forth on your list this week. It's a small shop in RiNo that sells plants, ceramics, home goods and gifts, and our directory describes it as a place where the stuff on the shelves actually goes together.

It sits at 3377 Blake St #105, and it has a 5-star Google rating from 55 reviews (as of 2026-08-21, via our directory). That's a small sample, but it's a clean one.

Here's the Forth listing if you want the basics before you head over.

Who it's for

This is for the person who always shows up to a dinner party with a gift that isn't wine. It's also for anyone furnishing a first apartment who wants a mug or a candle with some personality instead of another big-box find.

Plant people, obviously. The listing puts plants first in the lineup, and it mentions dried florals too, which work if you kill everything green.

What to try first

Go in with one small job, like a gift for someone specific, and give yourself time to browse. The listing jokes that people come in for one thing and leave with five, so set a budget in your head first.

Good places to start, based on what the listing names: the hand-thrown mugs, the dried florals and the candles. A mug plus a small plant is an easy gift that looks like you tried.

What to expect

It's a small space, and the listing says it's packed with product, so expect close quarters on a weekend. The pitch is that nothing on the shelves feels like filler.

Hours from Google (they can change, so check before you go):

  • Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday: 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM
  • Tuesday: closed
  • Saturday and Sunday: 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM

The big catch is that it closes at 3:00 PM on weekdays, so this isn't an after-work errand. A weekday morning or a weekend late morning is your window. No prices are listed, so you'll find out at the shelf.

The neighborhood

Forth is on Blake Street in RiNo, which makes it easy to turn into a lunch plan. Two good options from our directory are a short walk away.

Temaki Den is 0.12 miles away, a hand roll spot with 4.8 stars from 1348 reviews as of 2026-05-02. Safta is 0.17 miles away, with 4.5 stars from 2363 reviews as of 2026-05-02, and it's the move if you want a longer sit-down meal.

A Saturday that goes Forth when it opens at 9:00 AM, then lunch at one of those two, sounds like a pretty solid morning. Check Forth's page for updates, and browse our events calendar if you want to add something to the afternoon.
