If there's any one month of the year that comes readily to mind as a shopping month, it's gotta be December, and the Dallas shopping scene is on fire right now, with lots of openings landing just in time for the holidays.

Half of these openings are pop-ups. Others are more enduring. But they're all newly hatched.

Here's a dozen new places to shop in Dallas right now:

Aroma 360
Shop dedicated to room fragrances is now open at Galleria Dallas on Level 2 near Abercrombie & Fitch. Backed by Shark Tank's Daymond John, the company offers scent diffusers, candles, reed diffusers, and room sprays. Bestsellers include the Mini Pro Scent Diffuser, which sprays scents up to 600 square feet for $300, and the Smart Car Diffuser that activates with car movement and starts at $200.

Babi Sabi
New online-only baby apparel brand founded by Dallas resident Sofiya Deva blends style, sustainability, and social responsibility. The pieces are made by women artisans in rural India who use 100 percent natural dyes and fibers. Each piece takes a full day to make. The debut collection features caps, booties, and accessories, all in neutral tones. Cotton booties range from $33 to $38. Caps and bonnets, in cotton and wool, range from $35 to $45.

Glassybaby
Seattle-based art-glass votive company founded by lung cancer survivor Lee Rhodes just opened a pop-up at NorthPark Center on Level One near Nordstrom in the former Diptyque space — the first outside the PNW. Every glassybaby vessel, whether it's a votive, drinker, rocker, vase, or ornament, is hand-blown by artisans in Seattle and Montana — each with a name and meaning to signify something such as Hope, Courage, Strength, and Gratitude. They come in a rainbow of colors and treatments, including some with college logos such as TCU, priced from $60 to $125 each.

Jenni Kayne pop-up
California lifestyle brand has a newly-opened pop-up at 34 Highland Park Village, carrying apparel, accessories, home, and apothecary, as well as Oak Essentials, Jenni Kayne’s skincare line. The merchandise includes $500 slouchy cashmere sweaters, pleated skirts, leather totes & mules, and cardigans for days, plus candles, duvet covers, linen sheets, and cashmere throws. Everything's a tasteful beige, including the interior design. The shop is the brand's largest to date and will remain in HPV through spring/summer 2025.

Josey Records
Dallas record store chain has opened a location in Garland at 1005 Northwest Hwy., where it's selling its trademark assortment of vinyl records, CDs, cassettes, turntables, music posters, new releases, and music accessories, which you can both buy and sell. This is the sixth location and the third in the Dallas area, joining the original in Farmers Branch which owners Waric Cameron and Luke Sardello debuted in November 2014 as one of the largest single independent record stores in the U.S.

Lane Boots
Texas brand headquartered in Arlington known for high-fashion cowboy boots just opened its first storefront at Galleria Dallas on Level 1 between Tommy Bahama and Intimissimi. The boots come in an array of colors and distressed finishes, with zippers on the inside to make them easier to get on and off, and a turquoise-painted sole that owes a nod to Christian Louboutin. More than a few pairs of their Smoke Show Metallic gold boot made it to Cattle Baron's this year. Prices range from $150 for a pair of booties to an average $325 for a mid-height boot.

Curiosities the Garage
