This holiday, a one-of-a-kind beach cruiser for the girl unlike any other could be just the ticket. This shop specializes in creating truly unique bikes with everything from neon spokes to metallic handlebars.
2Athleta
The new store in Turtle Creek Village is packed with everything for the serious athlete, whether she be into running, yoga, or swimming. Our pick: Printed tights are always a win and the store has several patterns to choose from.
3Sunstone
If this girl likes to spend more time in down dog than at Uptown stores, wrap up a few months of a membership to a gym or yoga studio. Our pick: Sunstone continues to be the Best of Big D pick year after year.
1St. Michael’s Woman’s Exchange
Regardless of what you buy in this Highland Park Village treasure, rest assured it will be wrapped beautifully. Our pick: Pretty table top knickknacks and hostess gifts like candles.

3The Goop Store
Gwenyth Paltrow’s pop-up shop has a little something for everyone, but it’s her cookbook that makes a great addition to the kitchen. Our pick: Smoke-colored Staub cookware that is a special collaboration with the store.
