Hit these four local stores for all your shopping needs, from last-minute holiday decor to an end-of-year wardrobe refresh. 
The Avenue’s charming storefront in River Oaks
The Avenue
Houston style blogger Lyndsey Zorich first launched The Avenue as an e-commerce site specializing in capsule collections. A brick-and-mortar (in the form of an enchanting jewel box of a house) now complements the online destination, yet we’re still hooked to Zorich’s digital gift guides and curated lookbooks. For presents, you can shop by recipient, occasion or price. 3209 Westheimer Road, 832.888.6623, onlyontheavenue.com
Biscuit Home
Since simultaneously launching her bespoke bedding line and opening her Montrose boutique in 2012, owner Bailey McCarthy has expanded Biscuit’s inventory of home accessories and gifts to include more kitchen and entertaining staples. Offering a sweet selection of cocktail napkins, cookbooks, tabletop necessities and vintage wares, Biscuit is a Houston hostess’ best friend. 1614 Westheimer Road, 713.598.4821, biscuit-home.com
Blue-and-white chinoiserie pieces are sprinkled throughout Paloma & Co.
Golden Houston
Following a successful launch during the pandemic, this online womenswear shop has already debuted a brick-and-mortar in Memorial. Founders Elin Jackson and Lindsay Curtis are industry vets, hence Golden’s cool-girl designer inventory. Think AGOLDE, LoveShackFancy and Tish Cox. 12462 Memorial Drive, 817.798.4330, shopgoldenhouston.com
Paloma & Co.
This River Oaks gem is our go-to source for all things home decor. Helmed by interiors maven Paloma Contreras and business partner Devon Liedtke, the home goods store comprises a curated collection of antique furniture, fine art, tabletop accessories and objets d’art. It’s also a great spot for uberchic gifts, from handblown Italian glassware to on-trend candles. 2705 Bammel Lane, 713.637.4310, shoppalomaandco.com
Paloma & Co. has mastered the art of shelf styling.
