‘Tis the season for DTR shopping!
You don’t have to go far to get amazing gifts this year. We’ve been strolling the streets of downtown Raleigh and rounded up a list of our favorite spots to shop this holiday season! We’ve got a little something for everyone to go under the Christmas tree!
Ornaments: If you’re looking to add a little extra twinkle to adorn someone’s tree, an ornament from Gathering Gallery is exactly what you need. Plus, they have some great items for the kiddies to snag while you’re in there too!
Great vintage finds: If you’re looking for something that’s one-of-a-kind and sustainable, then you have to head to Pallbearer Vintage or Unorthodox Vintage.
Jewelry: Curate is a local gem and a favorite spot for hand-crafted jewelry created by local artisans. If you’re looking for locally fine-made jewelry, Quercus is your calling!
