No matter who you have on your holiday list this year, there is a nearby Charlotte boutique that will meet your gift giving needs. Plus, it’s the perfect time of year to shop locally and support small-businesses with your dollar. The shopping is far less stressful than the mall and the gifts infinitely more unique. Here are just a few of our favorites.
Women’s—Lotus
Lotus in Midtown opened in 2004 to deliver women’s high fashion. They offer on-trend jewelry, clothing, shoes and other accessories.
Men’s—Tabor
Located adjacent to SOCO Gallery in Myer’s Park, Laura Vinroot Poole’s Tabor menswear has a carefully-curated selection of classic American styles with Southern flare. They stock accessories, shoes, suits, and other menswear.
Kid’s—Toys & Co.

Unique—Rhino Market.
