Why I Created PuebloMerch.com

Hi friends!

I’m Amelia, a proud single mom of two amazing boys who are growing up right here in Pueblo, Colorado. Raising them in this community has made me love our city even more—it’s such a special place, full of heart, grit, and pride. Pueblo really is Colorado’s best kept secret, and I wanted to find a way to share that pride.

I’ll admit it—I’m a lover of all things cheesy. Souvenirs, T-shirts, quirky gifts… I think they’re fun because they remind us of the places we love most. But when I went looking for Pueblo souvenirs or even just a fun Pueblo T-shirt, there wasn’t much out there. That’s when it hit me: why not create a little online souvenir shop for Pueblo?

And that’s how PuebloMerch.com was born. 🎉

What started as a simple idea—making a few fun Pueblo pride shirts—has already begun to grow. I’m so excited to share gear that celebrates the spirit of our hometown, from bold Pueblo T-shirts to unique designs that say: we love where we live. If you’re looking for a unique gift from Pueblo, I want this to be the place you think of first.

But this is just the beginning. Next up, I’m launching a Local Artist Collection, featuring prints and designs from Pueblo’s own artists and photographers. I want PuebloMerch to be more than a store—I want it to be a platform that lifts up local talent and spreads our love for this community far and wide.

If you’re a local artist who’d like to be featured, please reach out to me at PuebloMerch@gmail.com. I’d love to connect.

Thanks for being part of this journey. Pueblo rocks, and I’m so proud to call it home. 💙
