The Shop at Bayou Bend is your go-to place for your holiday shopping this season. Now located in the cottage, next to the historic Bayou Bend house, where you can browse a selection of unique gift ideas in a boutique atmosphere.
This holiday season, The Shop at Bayou Bend is ideal for even the busiest of elves! Bring the family to explore 14 acres of gorgeous gardens with live musical performances each afternoon of Thanksgiving weekend. The Bayou Bend shop, relocated last year to the cottage on the grounds of the historic home, provides a relaxed and memorable boutique experience in the holiday atmosphere of Bayou Bend’s gardens, away from the bustle of traditional shopping locales. The Shop offers unique products, in all price ranges, reflecting the quality, craftsmanship, and beauty of Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens. With an abundant offering of one-of-a-kind and limited-edition gifts available for all holiday gifting needs, Bayou Bend is your one-stop-shop for all things gifts, gardens and great times!
Hours:
The shop at Bayou Bend is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday from 1 to 5 p.m. Even better, they will be open on Black Friday for you to slip away from even the thought of other retail-madness and shop in serenity! As the Shop is open to all Museum members, it is also available for non-members to visit as well. A great place to take those out of town visitors over the holidays to share with them one of Houston’s most beautiful sites. At Bayou Bend you can enjoy the total experience of being surrounded by beauty while also checking off some very special, unique gifts at the same time. A special treat for the upcoming holiday weekend is that members purchasing from the Shop at Bayou Bend can enjoy their ‘double-discount’ offer beginning on Black Friday, November 24 thru December 2.
Store hours will be extended during Christmas Village at Bayou Bend, Dec. 14-Jan. 5 for all last minute shoppers!

A Selection Of Our Favorite Gift Picks
Stained and beveled glass keepsake boxes from J. Devlin Glass Art
These glass boxes are made of beveled glass and sized perfectly to hold jewelry or any other treasures. Each features two wire hinges, chains to hold open the lid, and decorative feet made from the same lead-free solder that holds the boxes together. The bottom of each box is made of a rippled-texture glass to add variety and make it easier to see what’s inside.
Citrine Drop Earrings from Christina Stankard
Christina started her career as a painter and has brought that sensibility through to her jewelry. With her focus is on unusual gemstones and color, she pairs the two perfectly with modest elegant design. She hand picks each gemstone, and each piece is handmade in her Brooklyn studio.
Night Garden Scarf in Cashmere/Modal from Tilo
The unique textures are often woven on 100 year old looms with rich and subtle colors worked by hand. Bold modern graphic prints are created with digital technology.
Porcelain Imperial Blue Creamer, Blue Canton Platter & Imperial Blue Teapot from Mottahedah

Chinese blue and white porcelain was in demand well into the 19th century and has been part of the heritage of many American families. Since the Ming Dynasty, imperial blue and white porcelains have been prized by collectors and connoisseurs around the world.
