Make the most of the final shopping weekend before Christmas by taking a detour from the shopping mall to the countryside.
Make the most of the final shopping weekend before Christmas by taking a detour from the shopping mall to the countryside. Here, you can shop unique and one-of-a-kind gifts from a variety of small businesses, all while enjoying the legendary charm and splendor of historic small-town Round Top.
With three shopping squares and a few venues open year-round, there's plenty of shopping and dining opportunities to fill your day and complete your gift list. Here’s your Round Top gift shopping guide:
Henkel Square's walkable, park-like setting is home to some of Round Top's most beloved stores. Shop colorful, cozy blanket coats by Sapana, textile taxidermy from Southern Beasts, monochrome art and merch by Laura Goodson, vintage Western wear and jewelry at House of Yo, art, fashion and more at Bisou Bisou; fancy food gifts at The Little Cheese Shop, and spirited brown bag takeaways from Round Top Liquor Shop. If that's not enough to fill your stocking, shop Modern Marla for luxury fashion consignment from brands like Chanel, Prada, Gucci and more; Wimberly Inc. for vintage boots, contemporary women's clothing, jewelry, and baby; Humble Donkey for art by John Lowery, clothing and pet gifts; Kemo Sabe for high-end Western wear, accessories and custom hats, and The Round Top Antiques & Design Center – Red Horse Vintage located inside the RTADC is a trove of gifts for all ages. Looking for more masculine gifts? Hit The Cabin and Cowboy House for menswear, accessories, outdoor gear and more. Grab a sweet treat, or a pie to gift from Royers Pie Haven on your way to the next stop.

Round Top is a short day trip from the big cities of Houston, Austin, or San Antonio. It's the perfect spot to spend the day enjoying a bit of solo shopping, or making merry with family and friends. There are plenty of lovely eateries and chic spots to grab cocktails in between grabbing gifts.
