The holiday season is quickly approaching, and while you may be tempted to do most of your shopping online this year, there are some incredible local shops scattered throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area that could hold the perfect gift options for all of your loved ones. At Riverside Homebuilders, we love shopping local and supporting the communities we build in, so read on to see a few local shops that you will definitely want to visit before all of your holiday get-togethers. 

Hidden treasures in Dallas

Starting off in Dallas with the music lovers of the family in mind, Josey Records boasts rows upon rows of classic vinyls in every genre imaginable. With cassettes, CDs, turntables, movies and video games also available throughout the shop, you’ll find it almost impossible to leave without purchasing one thing or another. 

Next up on our list is Whose Books, a family-owned bookstore in Dallas’ Oak Cliff neighborhood. With a variety of books featuring various topics for all reading levels to enjoy, you’ll easily be able to find the perfect gift for the avid reader on your list. 

Lula B’s is the best place to stop if you’re looking for a truly one-of-a-kind gift option for your loved ones. From furniture and glassware to printed artwork and funky vintage clothing, you’ll find yourself wandering through the different aisles for hours on end completely mesmerized with every trinket you find. You can rest assured that when you leave this shop, you will have found a gift for even the pickiest person on your list. 

Local shops around Fort-Worth

If you’re looking for gifts that showcase your local spirit, Fort Worth Locals is the best place to visit. What started as an online-only shopping presence has quickly grown into a one-stop-shop where you can find a variety of t-shirts, hats, keychains and other collectables that perfectly show off your Fort Worth style. 

For a true local shopping experience, make sure you also add Love Local Coffee and Art Shop to your list this year. This charming location only features items created directly from local artists in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, and with so many talented creatives around the city, any trip into this location will be well worth the visit. Grab a coffee as you enter and peruse the shop’s aisles for the perfect piece of artwork. 

Finally, another shop that you won’t want to pass up on in the Fort Worth area is Winton and Waits. This local shop has a wide selection of jewelry and accessories, home decor, bath goods and personal care items.
