You are passionate about Round Top. We get it. So are we. There is nothing like a shopping adventure in Round Top. But even if you cannot make a trip to the Texas countryside in time for Christmas shopping, there are still fun and fancy items from Round Top shops that are easily within your reach.
Yes, this antiques and design mecca is all in on online shopping too. Here are some great Round Top Christmas present picks:
Why not send a slice of heaven to your nearest and dearest this year? It’s easy to do since Royers is available on Goldbelly, the gourmet food delivery specialists. You’ll find an array of Royers classics like pumpkin, pecan and buttermilk available. All with that tell-tale flaky crust.
The seasonal sensation is the Texas Trash Pie. This is a tasty gift anyone would love to receive, and pies are shipped right to their door.

Along with an eclectic collection of European antique finds, The Vintage has rolled out three collections so far, including home decor, bath and body, as well as fabulous textiles. This year you can plant your flag by gifting a Round Top, TX flag to your regular shopping buddies.

In countless patterns, colors and designs they are made from a vintage kantha quilt, fitted with fabric remnants that are layered and bound with a running stitch.

Mary Lou Marks’ antique textile taxidermy pieces are coveted by collectors. Each piece is a unique mix of fabrics and trims, sourced from all over the United States. Pieces pop up and sell out fast, so check the inventory often. This sweet Mini-Frenchiel is still available. For now.
If you’ve been to Round Top, chances are you’ve enjoyed some drinks at Ellis Motel. The atmosphere and cocktails at Round Top’s favorite bar are legendary. Now you can wear your love for the local haunt like a badge of honor.
