Gwyneth Paltrow has a thing for Dallas. She has chosen the city as one of just three places to open a 2018 holiday pop-up boutique for her modern lifestyle brand, Goop. Goop Gift will launch November 15 at Highland Park Village.

According to a release, the pop-up shop will "translate Goop’s coveted gift guide into a tangible, shoppable experience," and will serve as a one-stop holiday gifting destination.

The award-winning actress and "it's all good" goddess will present gifts in multiple categories, including apparel, beauty, home, and experiences. The store will also offer select personalization, gift wrapping, hand calligraphy, and delivery.

Goop Gift will reflect the gift guide’s 12 categories, including The Traveler, The Host, and The Lover. And new for this season, The One-Step-Aheader, for the newest trends; and The One and Only, for higher-end luxury items from jewelry and handbags to personal gifts.

Goop-approved favorites will also feature a range of designers from all over the world, such as the Soma Hot & Cold Brew Bottle and Casey Zabala Wanderer’s Tarot Card Deck.

Other collaborations available exclusively are the Goop x GreenPan two-piece frypan set, the Goop x Oso & Me Lounge Set, and the Goop x Cinnamon Projects Incense Set, among many others.

For the first time, the release says, Goop will feature Made by Google products to bring a new level of technology to the pop-up shop. Select tech products, like Google Home, will be available at the pop-up.

In addition, jewelry and home designer Kendra Scott will offer a selection of classic décor pieces, as well as an interactive jewelry bar for one week starting on December 4. Festive cocktails will even be served on select days to keep things merry.

It's the second Dallas stop for Goop this year. A Goop Dallas shop popped up from April through June in the same space in Highland Park Village.

No word yet of any personal appearances by Paltrow. In 2014, she nearly shut down Highland Park Village with an appearance at the launch of her Goop pop-up shop. And for those who managed to miss that, she launched a second shop within Nordstrom at NorthPark that was equally as successful in 2017.

The only other cities getting Goop Gift holiday pop-up shops this year are San Francisco and Manhasset, New York.

Goop Gift will be open November 15-December 24 at 70 Highland Park Village.

With the holidays on the horizon, shopping is on the rise. This November edition of Where to Shop, CultureMap's monthly roundup of new shops, sales, and alternative shopping, has five unique new openings, ranging from fashion to skin care to sports apparel.

The roundup also includes two non-traditional entries, including a new benefits program at an area mall, and a place to get your passport — in case you're planning on shopping abroad.

Here's where to shop in Dallas for November:

Baseballism
Baseball camp that transformed into an off-field baseball clothing brand is now open at Allen Premium Outlets. The store offers baseball-themed clothing, hats, and accessories. Their collection features collaborations with several big league names, including MLB, Babe Ruth, Vin Scully and Field of Dreams. Caps and hoodies are especially popular items, such as the Junior's Silhouette for $36 or the short Sleeve Yankees hoodie for $79.

Firewheel Town Center
Garland shopping center is in the giving spirit with its latest Shop, Dine & Save program. Visitors can shop or dine at select stores, including Buckle, DSW, and Razzoo's, Ferah Tex-Med Kitchen, and receive a $25 Simon giftcard when they spend $150 or more. To get the giftcard, receipts have to be shown at the mall management office and include at least one shop and one restaurant from the same day. The special lasts through November 27.

Hill House
Originally a bedding company that launched in 2016, Hill House has extended their collection to offer home, accessories, baby & kids, bridal, and apparel. They opened a location in NorthPark Center at the end of October — their first in Texas and only their fifth store. Hill House is best known for the "Nap Dress," a flowing dress made for day or night wear. There's also a short version of the dress, such as the Scarlett Long Sleeve Mini, a plaid dress for $188. Just in time for season, they've launched holiday pajamas, featuring pajama sets, robes, and children's sets.

Glossier
Skincare, beauty, and fragrance concept just opened a 1,000 square-foot store at NorthPark Center, featuring its trademark whimsical displays that one might mistake for an art supply or paint store. They sell fragrances, scented skin creams, balms, cleansers, moisturizers, makeup, eyelash curlers, and other beauty products, a little on the pricey side, but they make the shopping experience fun with an immersive shopping experience. That stuff doesn't come for free. This is their 12 location in the U.S., joining Atlanta, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, DC, Las Vegas, London, Los Angeles, NYC, Philadelphia, and Seattle.

Rally House
Sports apparel chain opened a location at Rockwall Crossing Shopping Center in Rockwall, with merchandise — headwear, accessories, collectibles — dedicated to Dallas-area teams including Dallas Cowboys, Texas Rangers, Dallas Stars, and college teams like the Texas Longhorns, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Texas A&M Aggies. They also offer locally-themed apparel and accessories that celebrate Dallas destinations and landmarks, such as an Uscape Pom Mens Knit Hat with a graphic of the Dallas skyline for $30 or a long sleeve Dallas sweatshirt for $42. This is the 22nd location in Dallas-Fort Worth.

Thrifted Threads
Houston-based vintage clothing reseller just made its debut in Deep Ellum at 2646 Main St. #620, next to Vidorra. Thrifted Threads was founded by Laith Awad, who began reselling clothes in 2017, initially as an online store until he opened a location in 2022 in Houston's Montrose District when he was only 18. He opened a second store in College Station in 2023. Deep Ellum is the third. They're known vintage apparel from jerseys to sweatshirts and hats, as well as collections of color-sorted clothes from the 70s to the 2000s. It's more than a store, with arcade games that don't require coins to play, a motorcycle display, and ice cream.

Collin County Passport Office
If you're "shopping" for a passport, a passport office just reopened in the Collin County Courthouse at 2100 Bloomdale Rd., McKinney. The new passport acceptance office will initially be appointment only, with bookings available through the District Clerk's website. Plans are underway to introduce same-day and walkup services in the near future.
