You swore to yourself it would never happen again, and yet: Here you are, T-minus one week till Christmas Eve, asking the group chat what you should get for your ___ (dad, girlfriend, little cousin who wasn’t coming to the family party but now suddenly is—choose your own adventure). We know, it happens.

We curated a Houston-centric gift guide with something for the whole family earlier this season, but ever the helpful bunch of elves, we’re back with more ideas—all available online, yes, but also just one drive away because you no longer have the luxury of waiting for standard shipping. Now, get going!

Abby Ledoux traded Canada’s border for Mexico’s when she moved to Texas from northwestern Vermont in November 2017 to join the staff at Houstonia. An alumna of Emerson College’s journalism program in Boston, Abby was previously associate editor of three weekly newspapers in her home state of Vermont. There, she covered everything from Bernie Sanders to the heroin epidemic and won numerous state and regional awards for her work, including the Vermont Press Association’s 2014 Rookie of the Year. She was also an investigative reporting fellow at the New England First Amendment Coalition. Today, Abby is excited to explore Houston’s vibrant, diverse culture (and shopping scene). Aside from fashion and design, she’s passionate about politics, hip hop and Mexican food. She believes leopard is a neutral and red lipstick can fix almost anything.
