Lubbock, Texas Guía de compras navideñas

Hola, Alexa, toca "¡Todo lo que quiero para Navidad eres tú!" por Mariah Carey.

¡Es esa época del año otra vez! La temperatura está bajando, las chimeneas crepitan y las luces navideñas brillan. A medida que hacemos la transición de especias de calabaza a abeto balsámico, es fácil dejar que el estrés de las fiestas nos afecte. A veces, hacer las compras para las fiestas puede parecer una tarea ardua. Entre reuniones familiares, fiestas en la oficina y actividades festivas, es difícil encontrar el momento para elegir el regalo perfecto para todos en su lista. 

If that sounds like you, don’t worry. This year, we’re giving you the gift that keeps on giving! We’ve put together a complete Hub City gift guide for everyone in your life – from the outdoorsman to the foodie!

So, bundle up, hop in the car, put on your favorite Christmas playlist and stop by Noventa y dos panadería y cafetería for a white chocolate peppermint latte to get you in the holiday spirit. It’s time to shop local!

First up, we’ve got the perfect gift ideas for all the husbands, dads and guys in your life that are hard to shop for. To me, the perfect gift needs to meet two criteria: include a personalized element and be usable in everyday life. Lee Elmers trademark leatherwork does just that. Choose from customized leather belts, knife sheaths, kitchen & barware, baseball caps and more. Shop inventory items at 3501 50th St. or contact founder Cason Grantham to design a quality product your loved one will cherish forever.

Escondite de montaña y Baker Outdoors was made for the outdoorsman and adventurist in your life. With a backcountry state of mind, these outfitters carry brands from Patagonia and North Face to Danner and Rumpl. Shop their selections of camping equipment, hiking gear, protective clothing and more. No doubt you’ll leave with the perfect provisions for your loved ones’ next adventure. 

Where my girls at? When I think about shopping for my mom, sister and besties, two local stores come to mind. For the college girls, Gaitero is home to fashion-forward clothing items and gifts. Puffer jackets and windbreaker shorts, game day essentials and happy slippers, gold statement jewelry and knotted headbands, the options are endless.

MAJ Boutique’s new exclusive line with Katie Kime should be on every girl’s Christmas list this year. From wallpaper to silk pajamas, these Lubbock-inspired items were designed to perfection and mean you can carry a piece of our city and your memories here wherever you go. While you’re in store, check out the customizable Stoney Clover line and add a personalized touch to the next gift you give. 

Cuando busque marcar varios elementos de su lista con una sola parada, un lugar viene a la mente. Hogar de más de 120 vendedores artesanales locales, Wolfforth Farmers Market es el lugar perfecto para comprar un sábado por la mañana. Tendrá la oportunidad de comprar golosinas, ropa y artículos para el hogar inspirados en las fiestas. 

For your furry friends, The Suburban Pet sells everything from handcrafted pet beds to accessories including bandanas, collars and leashes! Send your four-legged family member into the new year in style with these adorable items. 

Prepara a los chicos de tu vida para el éxito con una rutina de cuidado personal de West Texas Beard Co. Desde colonias hasta productos para afeitarse y artículos esenciales para el cuidado de la barba, esta tienda familiar elabora productos de primer nivel que son el regalo perfecto. Los favoritos de los clientes incluyen el bálsamo para la barba y el aceite en las fragancias Cowboy y Maverick. 

We all know someone who loves bags. Crossbodies, makeup carriers, totes, clutches and everything in between – name it and they want it. Joy Waguu sells eclectic bags and jewelry pieces handmade by women and girls learning trade in Colombia. You can’t go wrong with any of their products for the loved one in your life who values something unique, usable every day and made with a purpose. 

Lastly, I’ll mention one of my favorite stops at the farmers market. For the homemakers and hostesses in your life, Candle Freak by Abby will be your saving grace. These hand-poured wood-wick candles make the perfect stocking stuffer. You can’t go wrong with any scent, but I recommend Rugged Man and Vanilla Whiskey for year-round burning. If you want something holiday-specific, Cinnamon Stix is the way to go!

I’ve got one more product that deserves a shout-out, and this one is for you! Take some of the stress out of hosting and prepping for holiday parties with Hot Ruby. This family recipe hand-bottled for the holidays was made for years in a home on a South Plains farm. Now, you can find it at many local stores including Market Street and Hollyhocks. This drink centers around a cranberry cider and marries cranberry and citrus juices infused with an exquisite blend of spices. Add your favorite spirits for a special treat or find comfort in a heated or iced cup.

Ahora que ha marcado todos los artículos de su lista de compras navideñas, ¡es hora de sentarse, relajarse y disfrutar de las festividades!
