The 17 Dallas Gift Shops PaperCity Staffers Return to Again and Again

Guaranteed Hits Only

BY PaperCity Dallas

In an effort to shift focus from Amazon to the brilliant shops and best boutiques around the corner, we polled the PaperCity team to discover their go-to gift stores in Dallas.

The following neighborhood destinations cover Bishop Arts, Knox-Henderson, and beyond, in addition to every gifting category you might be looking for. With selections vetted by a team that truly loves to shop (perhaps too much), you can rest assured the following stores have the guaranteed hits to make everyone in your orbit feel special.

*Editor’s Note: We wanted this list to focus on small, independent boutiques. You won’t find a Neiman Marcus on this list (though it can be quite brilliant for gifts), nor any store in NorthPark or the Dallas Galleria.

We’ve been Blue Print die-hards since 2010, when five interior designers and friends renovated a 1925 home to open the shop of our home decor dreams on a quiet street in Uptown. A newly revamped website makes it even easier to shop the store’s surprisingly robust selection of killer gifts, from vintage-inspired jewelry to sweet ceramics. — Caitlin Clark

Travelers staying at the adjoining Adolphus Hotel can find a deodorant, bath products, or any travel goods they may have forgotten (they just so happen to be the chicest versions of those items imaginable), but locals can appreciate the edited selection of hard-to-find brands, delicate jewelry, Stetson hats, and more effortlessly giftable goodness. — Caitlin Clark
