A Downtown Overland Park staple, The General Store + Co. is a local mercantile that carries items that have a practical, everyday use as well as goods that make great gifts.

Kindred

For all the guys out there, let me cut to the chase. This is a women’s boutique, so you aren’t going to find anything for yourself here. HOWEVER, if you are shopping for a woman that loves staying fashionable and up on the latest trends, this is your place. Kindred, located in Oak Park Mall, features clothes, accessories for your wardrobe, as well as tons of great accessories for the home.
Golden and Pine
Back to Top of ListGolden and Pine
Walking into Golden and Pine is like walking into West Elm, except that everything you are looking at has been handcrafted. Just pick up the tag when you find the perfect throw for your mom, or vase for your sister, and you will see exactly who made it and where it came from. You can be the person who gives a gift with a story behind it this year.
Normal Human
Back to Top of ListNormal Human
Located in the East Crossroads, Normal Human is a must if you are looking for original, hand printed apparel, wares, and prints. Since their screen printing studio is in the same space as the shop, you can take a peek and see how all the merchandise is printed. If you are shopping for someone with a sense of humor, be sure to gift one of their shirts paired with a snarky card. Nothing says happy holidays more than a card that reads, “Here’s a folded piece of paper I bought to tell you something that I could just say out loud.”
