Downtown Raleigh is made up of over 90% locally owned stores. And shopping local is not just a great way to uplift our community and economy — it’s also one of the best ways to find one-of-a-kind gifts for your loved ones, like:
- Beer and wine: For the local who loves sampling bevs at Tasty Beverage Co. or Hippo Wine Bar, who’d love to add Triangle products to their collection
- Clothing and accessories: For the fashion-forward friend who adores curating looks from shops like Edge of Urge and Ealdwine
- Vintage and resale shops: For retro enthusiasts who love browsing Unorthodox Vintage, finding history-laden gems for their homes
- Flowers and plants: For the green thumb-holder who frequents Copperline Plant Co. or brightens up their home with blooms from TG Floristry
- Gourmet foods: For the culinary explorer who loves local flavor, how about a Best in Snow sampler from Videri Chocolate Factory or beans from 321 Coffee?
- Art + antiques: For the decor devotees searching for pieces that capture Raleigh’s artistic spirit from Munjo Munjo, DECO, Parcero Studio, or Father & Son
- Jewelry: For the king or queen who loves sparkle, like pieces from local artisans Kenda Kist or Quercus Studio
- Music: For those who live for shows at The Pour House or Sorry State, and who are always on the lookout for new sounds
- Wellness: For locals who hike Umstead Park, take classes at Current Wellness, or are always at Adara Spa or Self Care Marketplace
