Victoria’s Armoire

Where It’s Located: 4077 Ponce de Leon Blvd., Coral Gables, Florida 33146

Victoria’s Armoire is one of those you just can’t skip when in Miami. The Coral Gables-located store is a longtime favorite in the area — it was founded by Anna and Eddie Fuentes in 1991 as a small decor store, which has since grown to a complex of showrooms that spans more than 20,000 square feet. With that much furniture, home decor, and outdoor accents to choose from, you may not need to go anywhere else.

Plant The Future

Where It’s Located: 8484 NE 2nd Ave., Miami, Florida 33138

Plant The Future is more than just a plant boutique (though you’ll certainly want to visit it for that reason alone). It’s also an art gallery and botanical design firm, and was founded by Paloma Tecca in 2008 to help people “reconnect with nature through art and design.” You won’t find the typical selection here; Plant The Future is known for its unique offerings including figurine planters, amethyst gardens, and more.

Nadeau

Where It’s Located: 4196 SW 74th Court, Miami, Florida 33155

Nadeau’s Miami location is one of more than 30 around the country offering attainable decor pieces from artisans with whom the brand’s founder, Tommy Nadeau, has fostered loyal relationships. The main draw here is the solid wood furniture from around the world; there are intricate, carefully crafted pieces that make for special and surprisingly affordable gifts.

Jalan Jalan Collection

Where It’s Located: 3921 NE 2nd Ave., Miami, Florida 33137

Jalan Jalan in the Miami Design District has a little bit of everything. The store carries a mix of fine furniture, art, and accessories, which are sourced both locally and from artisans from around the world. Its aesthetic is a blend of modern, global, and coastal inspiration, making it the perfect shopping destination if you want your gift to transport someone elsewhere.

arango

Where It’s Located: 5864 Sunset Drive, Miami, Florida 33143

Like many of Miami’s coolest boutiques, Arango has a storied past. It was originally founded in 1959 by Judith Arango in downtown Miami as a way to bring “affordable, contemporary good design to the public.” Since then, it’s taken on new owners and moved locations, but its mission remains the same. In addition to selling sleek, functional, and innovative designs, Arango also hosts in-house exhibitions, lectures, and tours as a way to foster “spirited design discussion.” If there’s a passionate design lover on your list, this should be your first stop.

Stripe Vintage Modern

Where It’s Located: 799 NE 125th St., North Miami, Florida 33161

Though it’s not exactly an affordable place to shop, Stripe and its curation of vintage pieces is well worth a visit. Owners Eric Cody and Arel Ramos opened the gallery in 2005, which now stocks a selection of European and American art, lighting, furniture, and ceramics. Described as having a “soothing and sophisticated ‘beach-chic’ style,” the shop is a veritable destination for unique finds that will remain treasures forever.
