Whether you’re looking for a classic Kentucky horse lover’s gift or a trendy teen girl’s gift, you’ll be able to find it all in Lexington.
Shaker Village Gift Shop
Shaker Village Gift Shop is the place to go if you’re stuck on what to get for someone. They’ve got beautiful gift sets from jams to soaps to home furnishings, all made in the Shaker spirit. Our favorites are their hand-woven throws and hand-crafted Shaker-inspired children’s toys… especially their beautiful wooden blocks and trains. All of their products have a really nice homemade charm to them to make a really memorable gift.
Keeneland Gift Shop
Located right in Downtown Lexington, Keeneland’s Gift Shop has just about anything you can possibly think of for the whole family — toys, apparel, home goods, to name just a few. Of course, Keeneland is one of the biggest names in the horse industry, so you’ll find tons of Keeneland name-brand apparel and accessories for the equestrian in the family. They’ve also got products from Vineyard Vines, Peter Millar, the Beaufort Bonnet Company, and other high-end brands.
Peplum
Peplum specializes in on-trend fashion “for the modern woman.” Operated by a Lexington mother-daughter duo, it aims to make all women feel confident and comfortable in chic clothing. So, if you’re stuck on ideas for the women in your life, Peplum does the heavy lifting for you by curating a stylish and contemporary fashion collection. Additionally, they’ve even made a “shop” section on their website where they’ve selected their favorite gift items, making searching for the perfect gift just about as easy as possible.
As You Go Boutique
Another boutique geared towards women, As You Go specializes in more casual wear for young adults. They’ve got an awesome selection of graphic tees, cute tanks, crop tops, and University of Kentucky gameday wear (think dresses, not jerseys) for girls. Hit As You Go Boutique and Peplum on the same shopping trip as they are literally right across the street from each other close to the center of downtown Lexington.
Gift Shop at Ashland/Henry Clay’s Estate
This is another great place to find a quintessential Kentucky gift. There are loads of collectible items perfect for adults, which make for an easy hostess gift. It’s all, of course, geared towards Ashland, Henry Clay’s Estate, so there are a good bit of historical and cultural products — in particular, they’ve got a great book section including Good Kentucky Cookin’ and a guide to making the perfect mint julep. Yes, please!
