The holiday season is upon us, and instead of wasting time and energy trying to find the perfect gifts for everyone on your list, why not do all your shopping in one place?

At Inwood Village, you’ll find gifts (and gift cards) for all your loved ones, whether they’re fitness enthusiasts, fashionistas, or four-legged friends. Plus, many of the shops here are locally owned small businesses, so you’ll be doing your part to support the community — all while enjoying a less stressful, more curated shopping experience.

For the health and fitness enthusiast
As we’re all aware, it can be easy to over-indulge during the holiday season. For the fitness gurus in your life, get them a gift they’ll appreciate: a gift card to one of the boutique workout studios at Inwood Village, like Sweat or The Bar Method.

Wellness enthusiasts will also undoubtedly love getting their green juice fix at The Juice Bar and experiencing the healing benefits of The Ozone Bar’s services. And you can never go wrong with premium-made athleisure — you’ll find only the most stylish workout clothing at SculptHouse.

For the fashionista
For that special someone in your life who loves paying attention to the latest trends in clothing and accessories, there are plenty of high-end treasures to be found at Inwood Village.

Sift through fashion and fine designer jewelry at Susan Saffron — or better yet, have a piece custom created by their team of in-house designers. Liz and Honey is your go-to spot for trendy, affordable clothing, and Wolo Boutique sells highly curated designs you’re unlikely to find anywhere else. And at Saint Bernard, shop for fashion-forward ski and snowboard apparel styles.

For your furry friend
We all know that person who loves their dog more than they love most humans. For the dog lovers on your list, get them a gift card or pick out a specialty toy or treat at Raw by Canines First.

For the little ones
Looking for fun activities to keep the kids busy? Check out Toys Unique, a locally owned toy shop that specializes in all the latest toys. KidBiz sells adorable, one-of-a-kind designer clothes for kids and infants.

Or shop for the latest trends at Gap Kids. And for a great gift for the young — or the young at heart — a gift card to I Heart Yogurt is in order.

For the homebody
To find the best gifts for every kind of homebody (from the Netflix connoisseur to the hostess-with-the-mostess), shop upscale furniture, vintage decor, and original art at Inwood Village.

Both Mary Cates and Co. and Mecox boast a mix of antiques and the latest re-edition finds. Quatrine sells custom upholstered furnishings in a range of unique fabrics and styles.

Shop small, shop local

New-style coworking concept Switchyards from Atlanta to open in Dallas

Switchyards

A new kind of shared workspace is coming to Dallas: Called Switchyards, it's an Atlanta based chain that calls itself "the world’s first neighborhood work club," and it will open in Oak Cliff at 610 N. Tyler St., in the space most previously occupied by Boxwood Hospitality (Cliff House), and Good Shepherd Church, which is moving to Wax Space.

According to a statement, it'll open on August 25.

Switchyards was founded in 2019 by CEO Michael Tavani with a goal of creating “a place in your neighborhood purpose-built to sit with your laptop, grab a coffee, and get some good work done.” There are currently 29 locations including a dozen around Atlanta, plus locations across the southeast. There's also a location in Austin, which opened in mid-June.

They describe themselves as a combination of a coffee shop, college library, and boutique hotel lobby, located in residential neighborhoods. Unlike some other co-working concepts that are in business areas requiring a commute, Switchyards strives to be within 10 minutes of its members' homes.

Each club features a bustling coffee shop look and feel, with quiet areas for focused work, and bookable conference rooms and phone booths for meetings.

Notably, it’s open 24/7, and has free coffee with a cost — $100 a month — that's more like a gym membership. You're given a key and can enter whenever you want. Rather than renting offices, it's a place to go to for a few hours of focused work around others. And members get access to every Switchyards location.

They have some groundrules that include not moving the furniture, no eating full meals (they say the smells and the mess create a negative experience for everyone else in the club), no work stations, and no calls, meetings, speakerphone, or zooms in public spaces.

Memberships are generally limited and supposedly sell out quickly.

They just opened a location in Austin in mid-June; Switchyards Creative Director Brandon Hinman said “It’s almost like a Ritz-Carlton and a dive bar had a baby. It does have that luxe feel, it does feel generous, it does feel dialed in, but it also has a little bit of ‘Cheers’ to it, a little bit of that neighborhood pub to it, and that’s the balance we’re trying to hit.”
