Holiday Shopping

Why Dallas men have to visit CultureMap Holiday Pop-up Shop

On December 7, CultureMap will host its first Holiday Pop-up Shop at Sixty Five Hundred, featuring more than 25 of your favorite local brands and retailers under one roof. Although most men claim they hate to shop, we promise they won’t want to miss this.

One obvious reason: They’ll have their pick of gifts for the ladies in their lives. But we know they’ll also want to shop these Dallas menswear favorites — to inspire ideas for their own wish lists or to gift their fellow well-dressed gents of all ages.

Baby Bow Tie
The first on this list is for the littlest boys. Kat Armstrong founded Baby Bow Tie in 2013 after her son Caleb was born. Inspired by her growing little gentleman, Armstrong set out to create affordable, high-quality accessories for baby boys, and now her bow tie line includes dog accessories too.

Foot Cardigan
For $9 a month, Dallas startup Foot Cardigan delivers a new pair of delightfully random socks directly to your doorstep. The unique service for men (and, yes, women) has been such a big hit that they’ve since launched Whippersnappers, a kid’s sock subscription service. This is one of the rare chances to shop the goods in person.

KidBiz
Owners Janet and Jay Finegold opened this fashion-forward children’s boutique more than 20 years ago for moms and their kids — boys and girls — to shop for new wardrobe essentials. For fashionable toddlers and young men, KidBiz carries Polo Ralph Lauren, Quicksilver, Puma, Lacoste and Charlie Rocket.

Mizzen + Main
SMU grad Kevin Lavelle launched menswear brand Mizzen+Main in July 2012 with the goal of innovating classic menswear. Mission accomplished: Mizzen+Main’s washable, moisture-wicking, wrinkle-free dress shirts earned Lavelle a mention in Men’s Fitness as a 2014 game changer. The line now includes casual henleys, denim and blazers.

Need
In just one year, Matt Alexander’s ecommerce shop has become a go-to destination for stylish guys (and it caught the attention of New York Fashion Week’s Men’s Day). The site specializes in hard-to-find-online, high-quality menswear that suits the seasons. But Need has more than apparel. Look for coffee, literature, furniture, film, artwork and more in the monthly collection.

Q Clothier and Rye 51
When Q Custom Clothier moved into bigger digs in West Village, it added a sibling called Rye 51 with more casual sportswear from Rag & Bone, Todd Snyder, Steven Alan and laid-back custom threads. The man-friendly concept also includes a pool table, TVs and ultra-luxe leather chairs for lounging, as well as complimentary whiskey while you shop.

Hiatus Spa is opening in Addison.

It's time to relax and say "spaaaaaah," Addison. Hiatus Spa, the award-winning Dallas-based day spa and med spa known for its membership model, is opening a location at Town Hall Square in September.

"We can't wait to bring our signature day spa and med spa experience to the community and welcome you through our doors this fall," Hiatus announced July 9 on Instagram.

Town Hall Square is at 5310 Belt Line Rd., Dallas, and is home to notable restaurants Chamberlain's Steak & Fish and Brentwood. The shopping center sits adjacent to the historic Old Addison Town Hall building.

According to a release, the new retreat will bring Hiatus' signature blend of day spa and med spa services to Addison, with amenities including relaxation lounges, massage and facial treatment rooms, med spa treatment rooms, and Sunlighten infrared saunas in both the men's and women's lounges.

Hiatus fans will be happy to know that the Addison spa will include one of their most-loved amenities: a nail lounge with zero-gravity chairs for maximum relaxation during manis and pedis. (Tip: Do not skip the noise-canceling headphones and eye mask.)

Hiatus' full menu of services will be offered, including therapeutic massage, customized facials, nail therapies, body treatments, injectables, microneedling, and chemical peels.

"We're thrilled to become part of the Addison community," says Kate Sazer, CEO of Hiatus, in the release. "Addison is one of the most vibrant and fast-growing communities in North Texas, and we're excited to bring our philosophy of making self-care accessible, approachable, and part of everyday life to both residents and the many people who work and visit here."

Founded in Dallas in 2006, Hiatus has grown into one of Texas' largest spa brands, the release notes, with locations across Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. In DFW, there are two locations in Dallas (the original at Inwood Village and The Hill), Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano, Southlake, and Allen.

The company has earned multiple honors over the years, including recognition on the Inc. 5000 list of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies.

But it's Hiatus' H-Circle Wellness Membership, which offers special discounts and other benefits, that helps set it apart. The $99-per-month memberships help encourage regular self-care instead of occasional spa visits.

To celebrate the Addison opening, Hiatus is offering a Founding Membership promotion for the first 100 members. The offer includes a $50 spa credit and an exclusive H-Circle tote filled with products from HydroPeptide and SkinCeuticals, valued at $100.

A grand opening celebration is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
