Not sure if you guys realized but, Christmas is in less than a week! While plenty of online stores are offering delivery before Christmas next week, I don’t always want to risk it. I’ve found the best way to last minute holiday shop, is through local Christmas shopping. This post was inspired by a fellow Orlando blogger, Wellness & Wanderlust. Here are a few of my favorite local stores that have great gifts and great prices for all your last minute holiday shopping needs.
4 Places in Orlando to go Local Christmas Shopping
Gatorlilly’s
Location: 2808 Edgewater Dr, Orlando, FL 32804
I’ve talked about Gatorlilly’s a couple of times before and I had to mention it here again. The owner has been posting so many Lilly Pulitzer goodies for the holidays it’s crazy! Besides a ton of Lilly clothing, Gatorlilly’s also sells all the Lilly Pulitzer knick knacks anyone could ever want! From beach chairs and coolers, to trinket trays and mugs, Gatorlilly’s has all your Lilly Pulitzer themed presents! Don’t wait if you have a Lilly lover in your life to go there and shop, their hours are limited, especially so during the holiday season!
Pro tip if you are shopping for Lilly Pulitzer home items and don’t live in Orlando: I’ve seen (and bought) a ton of Lilly Pulitzer at T.J. Maxx and HomeGoods recently. Keep your eye out for bright pink and funky patterned boxes!
Craft & Common
Location: 47 E. Robinson St., Ste 100 Orlando, FL 32801
Why yes, this is the coffee place I just talked about a couple weeks ago. Maybe you remember me mentioning that Craft & Common had a whole wall of fun gift related items? If not, remember now! They have coffee mugs, Corkcicle bottles, fun books, and a ton of plants (who doesn’t need a little extra green in their life, right?) While you’re there shopping for a special someone, be sure to try their new Peppermint Mocha. I’ve only read about it but I doubt it is anything less than amazing!
Annabelle’s
Location: 2318 Edgewater Dr. Ste. A Orlando, Florida 32804
Another great place I’ve mentioned before is Annabelle’s. They sell everything you could ever want for your home, and even have some fashion thrown in! My favorite thing from Annabelle’s are the wooden signs that say things like “Welcome” or “Merry Christmas”. They also offer a ton of hostess presents such as, drinkwear, candles, trays, and so much more! To get a feel for what Annabelle’s has to offer I’d check out MudPie, they sell similar items.
Avalon Exchange
Location: 745 N Orange Ave, Winter Park, FL 32789
Avalon Exchange is one of my all time favorite resale stores. I’ve bought so much Lilly Pulitzer and Kate Spade there for ridiculously low prices, and some times the items are brand new! Whether you’re looking to surprise someone with jewelry or maybe just some new sunnies, Avalon Exchange is your one stop shop. You can call and buy directly from their Instagram page and then pick it up in stores. It’s a great alternative to online shopping and you’ll be guaranteed to get it before Christmas (as long as you remember to pick it up 😉).
When it comes to last minute holiday shopping, remembering you can Christmas shop locally is definitely a plus. I hope you guys enjoy these local places as much as I do! Merry Christmas!
