Shopping in Wimberley, TX: Local Shops, Boutiques & Market Days

You might come to Wimberley looking for a birthday gift and leave with a plant, a bag of popcorn and a pair of boots you weren’t planning to buy. That’s part of the fun of shopping here.
Start around the Square for boutiques, gifts, galleries and a little something sweet. Give Old Kyle Road, Oak Drive and Henson Road some time, too. Then head farther out for thrift shops, vintage furniture, plants or a glassblowing demonstration.
Looking for a gift, a new outfit or just an excuse to get out and browse? Start here. Our shopping directory has the broader list of businesses and contact details.
Where is the best place to start shopping?
Start at Wimberley Square if you want to browse several types of shops without driving between every stop. Give yourself time for the shops along Ranch Road 12, Old Kyle Road, Oak Drive and Henson Road, too. There’s more to downtown shopping than the storefronts directly facing the Square.
For a first visit, allow a few hours for browsing and a meal. If antiques, thrift stores, garden centers or glass art are the main goal, plan a few additional stops by car. Wimberley Glassworks, for example, is on Ranch Road 12 toward San Marcos, and Market Days takes place on FM 2325.

Boutiques, western wear & jewelry
There isn’t just one Wimberley look. You can shop for a dress for dinner, everyday basics, turquoise jewelry, colorful bohemian pieces or cowboy boots in the same afternoon.
Chulita’s and Tarry Lifestyle + Home are good stops on the Square for clothing and accessories. Cedar Chest combines women’s clothing with shoes, jewelry and gifts, while The Gypsy Market and Libelula Free Spirit Boutique are places to look for bohemian styles. The Wildflower on Henson Road adds clothing, shoes and Western-inspired pieces.
For colorful clothing and accessories, add Arloom, The Farmloft and Vintage Lily Boutique to your stops. Arloom works Guatemalan handwoven textiles into tops, jackets and belts. The Farmloft mixes boho clothing, graphic tees and jewelry with vintage finds, while Vintage Lily has dresses, everyday tops, shoes, bags and accessories.
River House on the Square is handy when you’re shopping for several people: women’s clothing, jewelry, home accents, books, baby gifts and children’s items all have a place here.
For boots and Western style, look at Wall Street Western near the Square or head along Ranch Road 12 to Junk Gypsy. Farther south, La Ceiba Ranch carries Western wear for adults and children. Wild West Store is another vintage-boot option, but visits are by appointment, so call ahead rather than adding it as an unplanned stop.
For jewelry, Refined Range on Old Kyle Road has sterling silver, turquoise pieces, other jewelry collections and permanent jewelry. RiverRock Creations works with stones and metals, while Hill Country Collectables on the Square combines Southwestern jewelry with art and pottery.

Where to find gifts & Wimberley souvenirs
For something that says “Wimberley,” start with Ranch Road 12 Gifts, the Wimberley items at Refined Range, or Texaholic on Henson Road.
MonkeyBug Gifts is worth a stop for artwork, handmade goods, accessories and home gifts. Participating makers and the shop support charitable causes through purchases, adding another reason to ask about the story behind something that catches your eye.
For a hostess gift or a small thank-you, pick up a kitchen find from Kiss the Cook, tea from Tea Nook, a candle from Wimberley Candle Company or a fragrance gift from Jackson Vaughn. Cypress Creek Lavender has lavender-themed bath, body and home goods.
If you’re specifically shopping for something made here, ask who made it and where. Wimberley shops carry a mixture of local work, Texas-made goods and products from farther away. All can make thoughtful gifts, but they tell different stories.
Find additional ideas in the gifts, souvenirs and specialty shops directory.
Art, glass & handmade goods
Art shopping in Wimberley can mean a painting for your living room, a piece of glass for a sunny window or a handmade gift to take home.
Art on 12 and Wildflower Art Gallery are good places to start an afternoon of gallery browsing. The Senior Citizens’ Craft Shop offers handmade gifts and crafts, and The Old Mill Store brings together art, jewelry and work from Texas makers alongside pieces from elsewhere.
For glass, Sweet Tangerine Stained Glass has contemporary stained-glass pieces and creative classes. Wimberley Glassworks, at 6469 Ranch Road 12 toward San Marcos, makes hand-blown glass art and lighting. Allow time for a demonstration if you can; watching the glass take shape adds something to browsing the finished work. Demonstrations and gallery opening hours have separate schedules.
Our art and artisan goods directory will help you find more makers. If you’d rather make something yourself, browse local classes and creative studios.
Home décor, kitchen goods & the shops you can linger in
Kiss the Cook
Kiss the Cook is a practical stop for anyone who likes to cook, bake or give kitchen gifts. Browse cookware, knives, linens, tools, gadgets and specialty foods. Bring the cook on your gift list, or arrive with an idea of what they enjoy making and ask for help choosing.
The Old Mill Store
The Old Mill Store covers a lot of ground: furniture, art, jewelry, handmade goods and unusual gifts, plus toys, fudge and ice cream in the general store. It’s an easy stop when one person wants to browse art and another is ready for fudge. There’s also a sculpture courtyard, and Longleaf is next door if browsing turns into dinner.
More home-shopping stops
Shelter Goods carries home décor, textiles, ceramics, furniture and gifts. Tarry brings home and entertaining pieces into its Square boutique, while Rancho Deluxe is a place to look for ranch décor, Mexican folk art and colorful home accents.
Farther out, Sol de Mexico on Ranch Road 12 offers rustic Mexican furniture and pottery. The Love Your Space Place on RM 3237 is an option for furniture, lighting, rugs and design help. See the home décor, furniture and antiques directory for more.
Antiques, vintage finds & thrift shopping
If you like the hunt as much as the purchase, leave room in your day for Wimberley’s vintage and secondhand shops.
- Creekside Vintage: Mid-century, retro and nostalgic finds, including home goods, collectibles and vintage books near the Square.
- POPPi VERNON: Furniture, art, books, linens and changing vintage finds on FM 2325.

Which Wimberley shops are fun with kids?
Shopping with children goes better when they have a few stops to look forward to, too.
Wimberley Toy Company inside Candy Cottage is an easy place to begin with toys, books and treats. The Old Mill Store has puzzles, marbles, kites, toys and a mining cart where children can sift for stones. Broken Arrow Rock Shop is another option for children interested in crystals, fossils and minerals.
River House carries baby gifts, children’s books and Jellycat plush. For board games and trading cards, explore Super Dimension Gaming on Old Kyle Road. Check its calendar separately if you’re hoping to join a game.
Children who like plants may enjoy Ceremony Botanical Studio. King Feed is another surprisingly good browsing stop, with plants, toys, pet supplies and, depending on the season, small animals or chicks to look at.
Try this with kids: Choose one shop for them, one for you and a snack stop. Break up the browsing with a hunt for the painted cowboy boots around town or a visit to Martha Knies Community Park. Our family guide has more ideas, including restaurants with play areas.
Plants, gardening, books & creative hobbies
Ceremony Botanical Studio is a place for houseplants, succulents and pottery. King Feed & Hardware combines garden shopping with practical home and animal supplies, and Wimberley Gardens is another stop for plants and landscape ideas. Ask about light, soil and water needs before taking a plant home; a sunny patio and a shady windowsill call for different choices.
For a creative project, Fabric Frenzy has quilting fabric, patterns and sewing supplies. Frolicking Lamb Yarn Studio is a stop for yarn, knitting and crochet supplies and classes.
Book lovers can browse books at River House, search the thrift shops, look for vintage titles at Creekside Vintage or catch the mobile Books of Wimberley shop at an event. Our guide to finding books in Wimberley covers more places to buy, borrow and swap.
Wimberley Market Days: a separate shopping adventure
Wimberley Market Days takes place at Lions Field, 601 FM 2325, on the first Saturday of the month, March through December, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. It is a separate destination from the Square.
With hundreds of booths, you can browse antiques, handmade items, home and garden finds, gifts and all sorts of unexpected things. Use the vendor directory and field map if you’re looking for a particular product or hoping to return to a booth you visited before.
Make it a morning outing, wear comfortable shoes and leave space in the car. Food concessions and music give you reasons to stay awhile. The Lions parking lots currently request a $10 donation per vehicle; nearby independently operated lots may charge differently.
There are also markets and pop-ups elsewhere around town. Check our events calendar for what’s happening during your visit.
Three easy ways to plan a shopping day
- A first visit to the Square: Start with coffee, browse clothing and gifts, stop at Kiss the Cook and The Old Mill Store, then have lunch nearby. Leave time for the side streets.
- A family afternoon: Choose Candy Cottage or the rock shop, look for a few painted boots, and plan lunch at Community Pizza or Chill’s so there’s time to play.
- A vintage-and-art day: Combine Creekside Vintage or POPPi VERNON with a gallery stop, then drive to a thrift shop or Wimberley Glassworks. Check opening and demonstration times before choosing the order.

Wimberley shopping questions
Are Wimberley shops open on Sunday?
Many are, but each business sets its own hours. River House currently opens Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and The Old Mill Store from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Don’t assume the same schedule applies to every boutique, thrift store or studio.
Where do you park for the Square?
Look for marked public spaces around downtown and parking near Oak Drive. Read the signs before leaving your car; individual lots can have different fees, time limits or customer-only rules. On a busy day, give yourself time to park and walk rather than counting on a space directly outside your first shop.
Where are public restrooms?
Oak Park near the Square is a useful restroom stop. Martha Knies Community Park is another option when combining shopping with a playground break. Plan a stop before setting off for a longer round of browsing with children.
Can you walk to all the shops?
You can walk between many downtown shops, but this guide also includes places along Ranch Road 12, River Road, RM 3237 and FM 2325. Check addresses when building your route. Market Days and Wimberley Glassworks are separate outings from a simple loop around the Square.
Is shopping here stroller-friendly?
A stroller can help between downtown stops, but shop entrances, aisles and floor levels vary. Older buildings and tightly arranged displays may need a little maneuvering. If step-free access is essential, contact the particular shops before your visit.
Can I bring my dog into the shops?
Ask before entering. Policies vary from store to store, even where neighboring restaurants welcome dogs on patios. Bring another adult if you’ll need someone to wait outside while you browse.
Where can I buy something made in Wimberley?
Start with local studios and makers, the Senior Citizens’ Craft Shop, and shops carrying named local artists. Glass, pottery, candles and jewelry are all possibilities. Ask about the maker and where the piece was produced if a locally made purchase is your goal.
Where can I find new shops and business changes?
Our Business Buzz page tracks openings, moves and closings. You can also explore the full Wimberley business directory. Know a shop we’ve missed? Tell us about it.
