Need to do some last minute holiday shopping in Houston?

We’ve got a few suggestions on where you can find thoughtful and unique gifts. The map below is categorized and includes all of these shops plus many more.


The icon indicates hours for 12/24 (Christmas Eve Day) & any additional special holiday hours.


Oh yeah, in case you didn’t know, you can purchase a Smith’s Opticians gift card online.

Quite possibly the most practical and fashionable gift card in town.

There are so many great places in Houston we surely missed at least one or two.
