One of my favorite instagram accounts, Cheap Old Houses, has a selection of old home-related products that will make you smile. If you’ve ever lived in or loved an old home, you’ll love their small shop. Like this Pocket Doors tee – one of the most charming, sometimes hidden, details of an old home. They carry stickers, keychains, and pins related to loving your old home. Plus, they just published a book!
Some of our first friends in Texas were Andrea and Taylor. They create these incredible custom home portraits! Capture a sweet memory of a favorite home with a personalized, handmade home portrait.

Our incredibly talented friend Josh makes these Folk Art birdhouses from hand carved cedar! The level of detail he adds is just wild. This would make such a unique gift for someone in your family!

One of the most thoughtful gifts you can give is personalized jewelry. Customize a bracelet, ring, or necklace with an important date, initials, or a name. Carry your memories with you wherever you go.

Edison Coffee Co was one of our go-to coffee shops in Flower Mound, TX when we lived close by. At the start of each month, I’d grab a bag of whole bean coffee and one of their all natural soy, hand poured candles. They are next-level! Especially their holiday scents, like Christmas Vacation or Apples and Spice. Top off this gift with a coffee bean subscription too.
Curated Home goods, Paper, Crafts, and More. This is one of my favorite shops in Denton, TX! They curate so many unique items – each one is made by creative minds all over the country. Like this knot pillow, or flower press kit. They stock cards like this one, stickers, and iron on patches like this cowgirl boot or this Howdy Howdy Howdy curvy patch! Their display of hand dipped candles alone was enough to inspire me whenever I shopped their Denton storefront location. They also sell art prints and mugs you can’t find elsewhere. So many small business gift ideas to choose from.

Luke’s photos of Colorado mountain sunrises might be the sole reason we moved to Northern Colorado in the first place. He just launched a new print shop, and his photos would be a perfect gift for someone who loves the outdoors.
Tea towels are an easy accent in your kitchen, and these waffle printed tea towels are just perfect. If you’re looking for a small business alternative to Geometry kitchen towels, look no further. I love the charming prints and antique look of these.

Somehow Liz makes rugs look yummy. Like, eat with a fork yummy. I don’t know how that’s possible, but I can’t talk enough about her vintage rug shop. While we have yet to order one for ourselves, I am obsessed with them! These vintage rugs are an investment into your home, with high quality materials that will last for years to come. Get your loved one a gift card, rug, or one of their “repurposed from rugs” items like stockings, rug remnants, or pillows.

Kat is a creative force, and I might be bias, but her paper goods are worth shouting about. She creates unique cards, notebooks, and positively fun paper goods for home. When she launched this Week Ahead Planner Pad this year, I immediately bookmarked it to add to this guide. I need that weekly reminder to water my plants! And this open planning format is perfect to stay on track with the important tasks.

Okay, these are freaking cute and extra. If you have a pup you love and want to give them a fun surprise, check out this custom dog bakery an Instagram friend recommended! They even offer cakes to share with their little pup friends.
With a tagline like “romanticize life’s details,” you can’t go wrong. This shop’s Midwest Watercolor Collection was recommended to me! I’m from the Midwest and I remember those sunsets over the cornfields well. These prints totally capture that beauty. This shop has other collections for holidays, nursery decor, florals, and even custom works.

13. Family Portrait Session in North Texas with Jen Beasley Photography
My friend Jen is the REAL DEAL! She offers fun and stress-free photography for families that want to capture authentic moments. She means it when she says she’ll tell you exactly how to pose, and she’s pure magic at creating authentic moments and capturing them through a lens.
Jen snapped photos for us before we moved to Colorado, at one of our favorite coffee shops. She totally captured our family in our season of life and I’m so in love with the photos she took. Jen is an amazing person, friend, and photographer, and I cannot recommend her enough! If you live in the Frisco, TX area, please check her out! Hint: Turn your photos into magnets for Grandma or Grandpa to share in the memories too.
