Put Off Shopping Until Now? These Local Shops Will Be Open Christmas Eve

If you’re anything like us, you still have a few last-minute gifts to buy. Or perhaps you still need to do literally all of your Christmas shopping. We won’t judge. But let’s be honest with ourselves, there’s zero chance anything purchased online will arrive in time, even if you pay extra for expedited shipping. 

Just because you ran the shot clock doesn’t mean you can’t still find a personalized gift for even the hardest to shop for. Don’t be the person bringing a printed picture of a gift still on its way to the office White Elephant party. And you can do better than an impersonal $25 gift card to a fast-casual chain. 

Dallas is a shopping mecca, after all, and our Winter Wonderland isn’t just limited to the flagship Neiman Marcus or the luxury stores of Northpark. We’ve got tons of local shops offering unique, curated gifts that much better than whatever you could find at the Target where someone was stabbed in the neck with a pair of scissors on Black Friday last year. 

Here’s the best gift shops Dallas has to offer. And, a few of them are even open on Christmas Eve, in case you wanted to push your luck even further. 

Tyler Kingston Mercantile

250 N Bishop Ave. #170
1900 Greenville Ave
Tyler Kingston Mercantile is perfect for your favorite cowboy or the out-of-towners looking to get a taste of the Wild West. The Southern-influenced store has goods for men, women, children, babies and the house. The mom-and-pop shop is locally owned and founded, so there are no posers here. No need to overnight a cowboy boot-shaped lighter, you can pick one up at one of Tyler Kingston Mercantile’s two convenient Dallas locations in Bishop Arts and Lower Greenville.

The Lower Greenville location is open 11 a.m -3 p.m. on Christmas Eve. The Bishop Arts location is open 10-3 on Christmas Eve. 

Outpost Fine Goods

1320 W Davis St.
Outpost Fine Goods is a passion project, bringing curated goods to the tasteful. The rotating stock of goods keeps each trip unique and finely selected for even the pickiest. Pick up a hand-poured soy candle or a reliable clay mug. The versatility of their offerings makes it a fool-proof stop before a Secret Santa party you were invited to at the last minute. As a bonus, Outpost serves beer on tap and specialty wines. 

Outpost Fine Goods is open 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve. 

Favor The Kind

3024 Greenville Ave.
Favor The Kind is the best spot to shop for people who love all things color. The boutique, located in the Lower Greenville area, is a favorite among Dallas gift shops. It’s packed with vibrant hues and joy that reverberate throughout its selection of goods. Store associates would be more than delighted to find the perfect last-minute gift; in fact, it’s part of their business model. Favor The Kind operates a minimalist website, prioritizing an in-store, hands-on shopping experience.  

Favor The Kind is open 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve. 

Dolly Python

1914 N Haskell Ave.
315 N Bishop Ave.
Dolly Python is the spot to shop for that truly one-of-a-kind person. The vintage shop, with locations in East Dallas and a smaller outpost in Bishop Arts, carries gifts that you couldn’t possibly find anywhere else. This one is perfect for someone who would appreciate a piece of bad taxidermy, a leather jacket from the ‘70s or an old and creepy porcelain doll. If your loved one describes their taste as “eclectic,” then their gift is almost guaranteed to be discovered here.

Both locations will be open 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Christmas Eve.
