1. Find everything on their wish list and more at one of the metro's many shopping areas. First on your list is world-class shopping and dining at the Spanish-inspired Country Club Plaza. Seasoned shoppers will find names they know such as Burberry and Tiffany & Co.
During the holiday season, more than 80 miles of lights outline every shop, dome and tower of the shopping and entertainment district. It's a seven-week tradition that has been around for almost eight decades.
2. Discover fashion’s favorite labels and high style at the metro’s newest lifestyle centers. Shop in style beneath beautiful lighted crowns at Zona Rosa or among the oversized ornaments at The Legends at Village West. These new shopping centers feature big names to appease even pickiest the person on your list.
3. For something new, venture to Briarcliff Village. The quaint shopping area offers breathtaking views of downtown Kansas City and features local favorites like Tivol and Nell Hill's. Then give your heels a rest and sample the international fare at notable Briarcliff restaurants, Piropos and Trezo Mare.
4. Next on your shopping tour is Crown Center. Home to Hallmark Cards, the complex also houses three levels of national chains and locally-owned stores. From the luxury of Halls department store to the originality of Gatos Cat Boutique, there truly is something for every shopper.
5. For an urban shopping experience, wander through the city’s Crossroads Arts District. Trendy boutiques like Birdie’s, Black Bamboo and High Cotton offer hip selections you won’t find anywhere else.
