Keeping it local this Christmas season with Springdale shops and stores

Another year, another holiday season! Tis’ a time to keep it local and take advantage of all Springdale’s best offerings in the shopping department. From storefronts to stands, showcases to shelves, here are six of our top picks for you and your family to check out as Christmas quickly approaches.

Bea and Bleux

Eclectic, whimsical, and bohemian, Bea and Bleux lights up Emma Avenue like a vintage ornament on a field-cut fir. This cozy boutique offers everything from candles and home décor to jewelry and tiny trinkets: the kind of place where shopping feels more like a treasure hunt … and a five minute shopping trip quickly becomes thirty. Whether it’s a stocking stuffer or a heartfelt keepsake, Bea and Bleux’s home-in-a-store vibe at once reminds us of childhood Christmas excursions and Hallmark movie immersions, with gift ideas leaping straight off the walls, over the displays, and out the nooks and crannies! Overall, this is the perfect place for gift-givers looking to surprise, tell a story, or make a last-minute purchase.

Hello Local

At Hello Local, shoppers discover a minimalist space that spotlights local artisans and their craft. Mark Cloud created this space for NWA creators, such that Hello Local could be their storefront and give the rest of us an opportunity to purchase something close to home, and therefore close to our hearts. Here you can find handmade soaps, candles, jams, prints, and small-batch goods, each telling a story of homegrown creativity that feels just right under our trees. Every purchase supports local makers, every item feels intentional, and every scent, color, or texture reminds us that the best gifts are made right here in Springdale.
