I'm looking for a popular restaurant or store in Fort Collins that I could give a friend a gift certificate to. The friend is an active woman. Ideally, I'd be able to purchase the gift certificate remotely since I don't live there. Maybe a place like @Mayor of Old Town or @Lucille's? Where do the locals frequent?
Greetings Elizabeth - You're best bet might be a Downtown Fort Collins gift card.
My fave places that the Downtown FC GC is accepted:
And shops:
Of course, there are tons more shops & restaurants. These are just a few of our go-to places in town.@
Mentioned in this answer:
Sure, The Mayor of Old Town & Lucile's Creole Cafe are good options. Do consider Big City Burrito as well. They have amazing burritos & a wide range of hot sauces. Their signature potato burrito is too good to pass.

For gift Certificates, a really great place to eat unique only to Fort Collins and neighboring city, Greeley, is a nice Mexican Joint called
Cafe Mexicali near downtown and the CSU casmpus. Other great places for food are
Cooper Smiths The Melting Pot, and the
Beach House Grill. A few cool shops downtown (Or as locals refer to it as "Old Town") are places like
Cira Ltd.,
Kansas City Kitty,
Killer Rabbit,
Curiosities, and the
White Balcony
Mentioned in this answer:
Mayor or Lucille's are great options. If you want somewhere for shopping, the White Balcony is an awesome little store in Old Town.
