    As the number of shopping days 'til Christmas dwindle, there are plenty of new places to check out, including several shops that have "popped up" for the occasion. Here's our list of new stores that are opening just in the St. Nick of time, along with some tried-and-true shops with some new nifty gift ideas.

    King Ranch Saddle Shop

    The legendary leather crafts company has opened a pop up shop in CityCentre through Dec. 24. A full range of luxurious leather products, including luggage, cowboy boot and hat cases, handbags, iPad cases, travel kits and purses are available at 800 Town & Country Way, Suite 160.

    Chan Luu Pop Up Shop at J. Silver

    Designer Chan Luu has set up an exclusive holiday pop up shop through Dec. 24 at J. Silver in Rice Village. The shop-within-a-shop offers a huge selection of her signature wrap bracelets, distinctive necklaces, earrings, scarves and other accessories. The J. Silver store is one of only three worldwide locations that Luu decided to set up a holiday pop up shop (the other locations are in Japan and New York at Henri Bendel.)

    TAG Heuer

    The Swiss luxury watch maker has landed in Houston, with a glittery new Galleria store featuring a full range of products, including timepieces, eyeglasses, wallets, jackets, mobile phones, belts, bags, bracelets and other jewelry.

    Miu Miu holiday collection

    Just in time for the holidays, Miuccia Prada's hip brand offers a luxe capsule collection of quilted handbags in laminated calfskin, nappa lux and madras crystal in shades of platinum, geranium and turquoise. Available at the Miu Miu boutique in the Galleria.

    Tiffany & Co. 175th anniversary collection

    The famed jeweler is celebrating its 175th anniversary with a wide-range of gem-tastic items, including a new collection featuring gemstones that Tiffany introduced to the world.

    The Tiffany Anniversary Tanzanite necklace — a 175-carat Tanzanite gem surrounded by a cascade of diamonds — pays tribute to the blue gemstone discovered at the foothills of Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro. Tiffany named the stone after its country of origin and introduced it in 1968.

    DesignerSocial at Sloan/Hall

    Those always inventive Sloan Hall boys (Marcus and Shannon) are hosting a three-day pop up DesignerSocial at the store, located at Westheimer and Kirby. It features pre-owned handbags and accessories from such luxe fashion houses as YSL, Chanel, Hermès and Balenciaga. It's a three-day only event (Dec. 12-14) that kicks off with a VIP shopping party. Bring in a handbag to trade for shopping credit.

    Shop Now, Spend Later at M Penner

    Through Dec. 24, M Penner has a special "Shop Now, Spend Later" program at its Uptown Park location. Get a $25 gift card for every $250 you spend (up to a maximum of $150 for $1,500 spent).

    Owners Murry and Karen Penner also have come up with a HaberCash promotion. For every dollar spent at the store, you'll receive 1 HaberCash point. The points can be redeemed for such perks as auto detailing at Alex Rodriguez Mercedes-Benz, gift cards at such eateries as Carraba's, Del Frisco's and the Capital Grille, and a photo session at Gittings.

    Neiman Marcus and Target designer collection

    The first-ever collaboration between high-end Neiman Marcus and trendy discounter Target has resulted in a holiday collection created by 24 of America's top designers. Our favorite is the Alice + Olivia floral bicycle, $499. The collection is available at all Neiman Marcus and Target stores through Jan. 5.

    M·A·C holiday collection

    M·A·C offers a host of limited edition beauty products for holiday gift-giving. Chic satin-tufted compacts with a black patent bow accent add a touch of Fabulousness while the M·A·C Viva Glam collection includes Viva Glam Ricky Lip Conditioner and Nicki Lipstick in a leopard pouch. All proceeds from VIVA GLAM products are donated to the M·A·C AIDS Fund. Available through Dec. 27 at M·A·C stores in the Galleria, Rice Village, Memorial City Mall, The Woodlands Mall and other Houston-area locations.

    CityCentre

    The west Houston shopping hub is celebrating the holidays with a special promotion for last-minute shoppers. Beginning Dec. 20, the “12 Days of CITYCENTRE” will highlight a variety of parties, special offerings and discounts at district shops and restaurants.

    Athleisure giant Lululemon opens Houston flagship with in-store cafe

    Hundreds of shoppers lined up for the grand opening of the first-ever Lululemon x La La Land Kind Cafe store opening in Highland Village on December 19 .

    Athleisure giant Lululemon is back where it all started. The brand has opened a massive new Houston store at Highland Village, returning to the shopping center that launched its Texas retail run in 2007. This time, however, it is not a small boutique. It is a full-scale flagship store with the first-ever La La Land Kind Café inside, giving Highland Village one more reason to draw a crowd.

    The cult-favorite café serves exclusive drinks created just for this location, including a Double Chai Latte and Coconut Cloud Matcha. In-person shoppers can score drinks at 50 percent off through January 4 and via the app through January 16.

    La La Land Kind Café also joins Lululemon’s Partner Perks program tied to Lululemon Membership, giving members access to select benefits. It makes it easier for shoppers who treat errands like a routine to use coffee as a delicious reward.

    The new store is directly next door to the brand's first Texas outpost, which made Highland Village ground zero for Lululemon's growth in the state. At 9,400 square feet, the outpost is among Lululemon’s largest in the country. The space, previously owned by Smith & Wollensky, traded steaks for elevated sweat-sesh style.

    Shoppers can expect a light, bright, and spacious shopping experience with a full range of products for both women and men. The store features branded apparel from the Lululemon x La La Land Kind Café collaboration, as well as a limited-time sweatshirt designed by local graffiti artist Donkeeboy, available as a gift with purchase (over $300, while supplies last). Adding to the local appeal, the store features a mural by Texas-based artist Kyle Steed.
