Five Andrews Shops Where Gifts and One-of-a-Kind Finds Come From Neighbors |
Andrews has locally owned boutiques, custom shops, and handmade goods stores where residents can find gifts and personal items that actually mean something. These five are worth knowing the next time you are looking for something that did not come off a shelf in a warehouse. |
The closest big-box alternative is a long drive from Andrews, and that distance has given local shops room to grow into something different. These are places built by people who live here and sell things they care about, and that comes through in what they carry. Whether you are shopping for a gift, looking for a custom piece, or just want a reason to get out and browse, Andrews has options that are worth your time.
Mesquite Mercantile
Mesquite Mercantile is run by three women who share a love of outdoor life, antique shops, and well-made clothes. What they built came from spending weekends in plant nurseries and falling in love with things that had already lived a full life. They sell curated clothing, plants, and one-of-a-kind antiques, with tees running $42 to $62. Everything on the floor was chosen with intention, which means repeat visits are always different. The store is open Tuesday through Friday 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. until the lights go out. Find your next piece at Mesquite Mercantile on Hwy 176.

Gibbi's Custom Creations
Gibbi's Custom Creations on West Broadway handles embroidery, custom shirts, large format printing, and promotional products for teams, businesses, and community events. They also carry a line of Mustang merchandise, which makes them the right stop before football season or any time school pride calls for gear that looks right. If you need custom work done locally without going to a national print shop, Gibbi's keeps the job in Andrews.

Sweet Darlin' Boutique
Sweet Darlin' Boutique on North Main carries a rotating selection of women's clothing with prices ranging from $40 to $72. The inventory moves with the seasons, so what is there one week may be gone the next, which is part of what keeps regular shoppers coming back. It is the kind of local boutique where you can find a put-together outfit without the drive or the mall-shopping experience. Football season is a good time to stop in and see what is on the floor. Stop by Sweet Darlin' Boutique and see what is in this week. Find its listing on the Andrews Shoutouts Directory.
Pen and Post
Pen and Post on NE Mustang Drive carries gifts that lean toward the thoughtful side: puzzle sets, art kits, playing cards, and greeting cards, with prices ranging from $5.50 to $50.95. It is the kind of shop that solves the gift problem for people who have everything, especially for birthdays and occasions when something handpicked actually lands better than something shipped overnight. Whether you need a card for a teacher, a game for a family night, or a paint-by-numbers kit for someone who finally has a weekend free, Pen and Post has the answer.

Curio Cabinet
Curio Cabinet sits on North Main and deals in antiques and collectibles, the kind of inventory that changes every time you walk in the door. For Andrews residents who enjoy the hunt as much as the find, it is worth making a regular stop. The best pieces do not stay long in a shop like this, and that is exactly the point. Discover what is in at Curio Cabinet on North Main. Find it on the Andrews Shoutouts Directory.
