We love it all at PC, and we particularly love the shoe offering. Pro tip: sign up for her emails and get first look at what is being unpacked and racked that day!
Queen Bee of Beverly Hills (2326 Whitesburg Drive Southwest)
Queen Bee of Beverly Hills offers women’s & men’s luxury designer brands such as Gucci, Prada, Saint Laurent & Fendi. We love that you can find brand-new authenticated resales of luxury designer handbags without having to travel to Rodeo Drive!
MEN’S APPAREL
Southern General (101 North Main Street, Arab)
Southern General offers cool, comfortable, relaxed shirts, hats and accessories that fit in well in North Alabama and are complemented by some of the funniest and punniest gifts, accessories, beer and wine. SG is the place to shop for the Alabama guy’s Christmas stocking of his dreams!
Roosevelt & Co. (114 Clinton Avenue East #102, Huntsville)
Dawn credits Roosevelt & Co. with single-handedly upping the look of Mr. Scout Guide Huntsville, David. From custom suiting to designer off-the-rack styles, shoes, and accessories, R&Co. is the go-to for men’s fashion.
INTERIORS
Brooks & Collier (813 Meridian Street, Huntsville)
Don’t forget to say “hi” to Lucy and Ivy, the shop dogs and always pop into the greenhouse for a little “green therapy” while your shopping! Here is our fun view of Brooks & Collier’s first 75 years.
Golden Griffin (104 Longwood Drive Southeast, Huntsville)
Clothes, artwork, gifts, oh my! Dawn recommends going back again and again. You will see something new every time you visit.
Haley’s (2806 Bob Wallace Avenue, Huntsville)
Haley’s can be your go-to store for everything build, renovate or design — flooring, cabinets, tile, furnishings and more. When Dawn shared her bathroom remodel on SCOUTED, you can see she used Haley’s beautiful tile in the renovation.

Sign-up on the website for their monthly pop-up events. We love in these days of long waits and scarcity, that you can pop-in, shop, and come home with beautiful, modern furnishings.
Victoria’s Interiors (604 Andrew Jackson Way Northeast)
Victoria’s Interiors is large and sprawling and has so much in stock to choose from—a welcome sight in times of “pre-order and wait.” What not to miss, though, is the lighting—so many options!
GIFTS
Deep South Mercantile (64 North Main Street, Arab)
So many lovingly selected items that represent the very best of the South. DSM is a sister-store to Southern General, right across the street, and both are well worth planning a day to spend in Arab.
Huntsville Botanical Garden Gift Shop (4747 Bob Wallace Avenue, Huntsville)
This little shop is worth a visit even when not spending a day at the garden. It offers a wide selection of items from children’s toys to jewelry to gardening items. If you are at a loss for a gift, there is always something special to be found here.
In Bloom (Corner of Clinton Avenue and Jefferson Street, Huntsville)
Stop for the disco music and the lively welcome from one of the owners Ron, but stay for the great selection of gifts and flowers. Dawn loves to check out the rotating window design featuring Joy, Ron’s muse and mannequin! It’s a kick!
Josie’s at Burritt on the Mountain (3101 Burritt Drive Southeast, Huntsville)
One of the best-kept secrets in town, Josie’s is a great little shop with local finds, art, clothing, jewelry and more. Pro tip: you receive 10% off in the store on any day that you volunteer at Burritt. So, do some good and then fill your trunk with discounted gifts for the holidays!
Stach & Co. (217 Gunter Avenue, Guntersville | 112 East Main Street, Albertville)
Just 30 minutes from Huntsville, Stach is Guntersville’s gift shop, wedding registry, greek boutique, gourmet and wine store on steroids! And, just when you think you can’t shop any more, you can purchase wine and beers and pair it with a house-made charcuterie board on the back deck with a view of the lake.

This is a lovely collection of 13 small women-owned businesses that bring together items that complement your life!

This store is a literal gift cornucopia! Alexa and Vicki have gifts that will delight, elegant interior looks, cute baby gifts, jewelry, initiation designs, and a bridal registry.
Tiramisu Paperie ( 2000 Cecil Ashburn Drive, Suite 108, Huntsville)
We have been collectors and fans of her fun, funny, uplifting and often snarky cards sold through other retailers for years, and finally owner Lisa has opened her first brick and mortar store in Huntsville! We pop in all the time to enjoy the jolt of energy from trained artist and designer Lisa herself and the belly laughs that come from her cards and gifts. Who needs therapy with Tiramisu in town?!
Please Reply (2115 Whitesburg Drive Southeast, Huntsville)
Owner Kimberly is my secret weapon for gift seasons like grad or debutante gifts. She orders, has personalized, wraps and even delivers these special gifts for you all while keeping track of who gets what so the recipients don’t get duplicates from other generous friends!

Julie Crews Fine Art (2211 Seminole Drive, Studio 2007, Huntsville)

DePriest Robbins (307 Clinton Avenue West, Huntsville)
As a diamond broker, DePriest Robbins can work with you to identify and select a stone and have it sourced for a special piece at a much more reasonable price than at a retail jewelry experience all while providing high-touch customer service and consultation. Who needs to go to the diamond district in a big city when you have DePriest Robbins? And, of course, don’t forget the seasonal trunk shows where they feature established jewelry designers as well!
Parker Bingham Jewelers (1623 Darby Drive, Florence)
An experience with PB is very personal and “high-touch.” Patty has a lifetime of experience in the jewelry field and she works with each client to source, create or customize a special piece. We love just popping into the store for a quick look when we’re in town, because the PB style is very fun, fresh and new.
