The style of the shop reminds me of a pop up market but they are always here and a good go to for gifts. There are a number of unique makers and very San Antonio style for products like shoes, clothes, and accessories. The cashier was very friendly and patient while I looked around.

Cute little gift shop on Fredericksburg road! They have several different vendors with unique gifts and household items. Ornaments, jewelry, cute stickers, stationary, handmade crocheted animals, candles, coffee cups and glassware. Friendly service.

This place is so freaking cute! I really wanted to buy multiple things but my budget was tight that week!! They had some cute leather purses I liked, loved the wax car scent hangers, jewelry, knitted stuffies, Mexican clothes, and the list could go on. I can't remember the name of the clay earrings that they had but it's one of my favorite local brands. They have a lot of local brands! I would definitely recommend this place. There's limited parking and getting out of the place was hard but I still think it's worth taking a look at! I went for a yelp event and I'm so glad they had it so I could find this little gem!

Such cute shoes. If you don't see your size let Alejandra know and she'll keep a look out for

This is the cutest shop ever! This store can be described as a Mexican gift and clothing store boutique.I am in concha heaven!!! Decorations, car deodorizer ( couldn't resist the Virgin de Guadalupe deodorizer), wall hangings , T shirts, dresses, jewelry, shoes. I've been looking for the shrimp type earrings and Alejandra took my phone number and told me she would call me when they come in. Now that's service and the beauty of a small boutique who cares about their clientele. I bought a cute purse as a gift for my sister. This is definitely one of those stores for great gift giving finds. Quality items. Best of all I finally found a pan dulce print that I can hang in my kitchen. Now to look for that bumper sticker that says " I brake for pan dulce"

Obsessed, this is such a beautiful shop with a collection from over 40 vendors. I really enjoyed coming and shopping around. I got to meet the owner and she was so lovely, she mentioned they will be expanding the store Soon. I bought a few things but my favorite was this headband that said "mi cumpleaños". I love being able and find items that resonate with me and my culture. The items were well priced and great value. I will be back!

Very cute shop in the strip center anchored by Sangria on the burg. Stickers, cups, shirts, earrings, key chains, etc. Get unique gifts here that are cultural. Love the Concha and maranito cushions. They also have coffee cups and jarros for beans here! I saw doggie bowls, toys, and treats as well. Something for everyone. The owner is sweet as well. She sells items from different local artists, which is awesome. Love my shirt. It's unique.

I noticed on IG that my favorite local earring designer sold her earrings at this place. I decided to stop by and check it out. I'm glad I did. I love the whole idea of a shop like this. It is super cute. The shop has a little bit of everything. They have cute little coin, purses, candles, stickers, earrings, dog treats. Best of all you are supporting local. The prices are reasonable. I plan to come and do some Christmas shopping here. They have parking up front but shared with the other businesses. They do have some designated spots. Find them on IG and go check them out.

This boutique is adorable and reasonably priced. It also supports local vendors. I highly recommend!

Just me :-))

This little place had a lot of varieties to choose from. I ended up buying watermelon gummies bears with chamoa. It was different from what I'm accustomed eating but enjoyed them as well. The place is not big but offers many neat products. The price is fair and items are unique to the store. Enjoyed seeing old and new faces (the lady that I talked to with her dog inside carry bag, enjoy our conversation and seeing how spoiled you have your dog is very unique. Overall, awesome event, enjoy the mimosas, mini doughnuts, talking to Fernanda and some of you!

Greetings! I had hand-crocheted a large blanket in the shape…read moreof a hexagon for a wedding present, and needed it to be wrapped. Because I wanted it NOT to appear as though a toddler had wrapped it, I needed help. Desperately! Hence, I found this quaint, adorable boutique with the assistance of Google. I gave them a call and spoke with Michelle, who was just so gracious. When I described the size and shape of the gift, she assured me that they could accommodate me, even though the weeding was a mere 3 days away. When I arrived at the shop, Michelle showed me selections of paper and ribbon, from which I chose a pretty cream colored paper with gold stars, with some contrasting ribbons. She assured me that they would find a perfect box and even insert some florals. Because the rain makes my back act up, I sent my husband to pick up the wrapped present that was ready just after the shop opened the very next day -- OMG! It looked like it came out of a catalog -- and it was only $15 plus tax! When I was at the store, I had inquired about personalized embossed stationary, and Michelle told me that they did a type of "reverse embossing" (I've forgotten the appropriate term, but you get the picture). I'm DEFINITELY going to explore their options! This boutique may have gained a customer for life! Thank you -- and kudos for quick thinking, putting your creation wrapped in a trash bag to protect it from the inclement weather

The shop manager, Lori, made our visit unforgettable. She was incredibly kind and took the time to show us the fountain pens as well as introduced us to all the wonderful products the shop offers. You can really tell how much she cares about the customers. If you're a stationery lover or even just curious about fountain pens/journals or the paper goods they have to offer, this is absolutely the place to visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in San Antonio. Thank you Belle & Union and thank you Lori for such a wonderful experience!

Karolina's has you covered from the front door, to the kitchen, to your wardrobe, and yes, even the garden. They've got the obligatory stickers and t-shirts, of course, but they also have a large and unique selection of Hispanic-themed and inspired trinkets and dishware that are sure to save you the trip to Laredo or the RGV. The people who work here are really great, too. The prices seem fair for what it takes to produce and import these items, but you know I love a deal (and I don't think they take coupons here). Still, it's very much worthwhile to support a local business that's bringing this vibrant energy to our community.

I wanted to go crazy and buy so many things but unfortunately my daughter and I were being followed around the store by staff as if they were trying to make sure we wouldn't steal anything. I haven't experienced that since being a high schooler in Spencer's Gift. It was uncomfy. We purchased only a few items and told her yea probably not coming back here again. Closer to fiesta I went ahead and ordered some items online. Majority of the items I ordered were out of stock so I had to just cancel my order. It just hasn't been the greatest experience for me which is unfortunate because their items are so unique and cute.

The Alley On Bitters is the cutest shopping center and a secret gem!…read more This amazing shopping center is located in the north San Antonio area (just a few minutes from the airport). They have all sorts of local boutique stores with one-of-a-kind items, as well as galleries, wine bars and even fitness centers. They have plenty of parking, so no need to worry about that. This shopping center feels a lot like being out of town in Fredericksburg or something like that. The wine bar is absolutely amazing, and they have so many amazing shops to hop around. Everything is super hyperlocal and definitely worth checking out. I found some very unique items during my last visit and can't wait to go back! If you love to support local, this is definitely the place for you!

The aesthetic of the building were extremely pretty! The shops mostly had reasonable prices and plenty of items to choose from. Only thing I will say is it needs some upkeep on the decks and railing as me and a few other customers had a hard time slipping and sliding. Very dangerous! Other than that very pleasant place to shop.
