Try This: FTF GOODS, the RiNo shop for gifts you didn't buy at Target

If you've got a birthday coming up and zero ideas, FTF GOODS on Blake St is a good place to start. It's a small RiNo shop that stocks basics, candles and giftable odds and ends, and our directory pitches it as the place you walk into for one thing and walk out with five.

It's rated 5 stars on Google from 50 reviews (as of 2026-08-26). That's a small sample, but it's a clean one. Full details are on the FTF GOODS listing.

Who it's for

People who need a gift that doesn't look like it came off an endcap. Also anyone furnishing an apartment who'd rather buy one good candle than a three-pack of mediocre ones.

If you live or work around RiNo, it's an easy errand to fold into a weekend walk. If you hate pushy shops, our listing specifically says there's no pressure to buy.

What to try first

Go in with one person to shop for and one thing for yourself. The listing calls out candles and basics, so those are the obvious first stops. Smell a few candles, check the basics, then browse the gift shelf for whatever catches you.

Don't overplan it. This is a browse-and-pick shop, so give yourself some time to wander the shelves instead of sprinting in at 5:55.

What to expect

The directory describes it as clean and easy, with stuff laid out well. Translation: it's built for browsing, not digging through bins.

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

• Monday: closed
• Tuesday to Saturday: 10:30 AM to 6:00 PM
• Sunday: 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM

It closes at 6, so a weeknight trip means leaving work a little early. Saturday is the easier bet. No prices are listed, so plan on finding out at the register.

The neighborhood

It's at 3070 Blake St #100 in RiNo, which puts you within walking distance of a lot of good food. Two picks from our directory, both 0.32 miles away:
