Whether you’re leaving Phoenix with a suntan and camera roll full of saguaros or you're already dreaming of your next visit as you engage in some retails therapy — here’s where to get all the souvenirs, trip inspiration items or holiday gifts your heart desires.
These eight boutiques and shops offer locally made shirts, gifts and other Phoenix-style goods you can’t find anywhere else (besides their websites, of course).
Frances Vintage
You can shop plenty of stylish wardrobe pieces at Frances, but the store's staple is local goodies. Scoop up Jar of Buttons pin-back designs, cool tees from Arizona-based Hello Apparel, State Forty Eight shirts and anything imaginable shaped or printed with a cactus.

Practical Art
Art with intention is the driving principle of Practical Art’s lineup of crafts. Artists turn local beer labels into journal bindings, desert flora into sustainable soap bars, and reclaimed metal into saguaro statues. It’s a great place to pick up the goodies such as the rugged wearables of designer Alex Ozers or artist Gennaro Garcia’s Hecho a Mano plates.

Bunky Boutique
Score some Phoenix fashion finds at Bunky Boutique, a little shop tucked inside neighboring Giant Coffee. It’s the exclusive source for AZ Love-branded shirts, sweaters and hats. In addition to in-house apparel, you’ll also find other cute gifts inspired by the desert, from saguaro keychains to coaster sets.
