    Sweet treats
    Give the gift sure to please everyone: Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. And if a frozen gift isn’t an option, pick up a gift card for gourmet ice cream and get a scoop (or two or three) for yourself while you're there. Made from simple and choice ingredients, Van Leeuwen Ice Cream has 20-plus classic and vegan ice cream flavors to choose from.

    Treat yourself and others to Sprinkles Cupcakes this holiday season, with flavors like Christmas cookie, gingerbread, chocolate peppermint, and much more.

    Show your host or colleagues how much you care with holiday treats from Badolina Bakery & Cafe. These picturesque cakes — which are available in sizes of six, eight, or nine inches — are available daily on a first-come, first-served basis, but it's recommended you place an order at least 24 hours in advance. Break bread with friends by gifting one of Badolina's signature loaves. For something all wrapped up, a cylinder of triple-chocolate chip cookies or a box of florentines is the perfect present.

    Home for the holidays
    Shop for the master chef, self-care guru, WFH wiz, budding sommelier, and beyond at CB2. For the entertainer(s) in your life, think modern cheese knives and serving trays, soft throw blankets, candles, beverage dispensers, ice buckets, and gold or marble cake stands. For the game lover, classic board games like chess and Scrabble never go out of fashion.

    Head on over to West Elm for midcentury modern-inspired furniture and decor with a conscience. Nearly 60 percent of its products support at least one of its sustainability initiatives, making it easy to feel good about how home comes together.

    Stroll through Rice Village and stock up on these and other great last-minute gems for your friends and loved ones. And when your gift shopping is complete, make Paper Source your final destination for all your gift-wrapping needs.

    UNIFORM UTOPIA

    Luxury scrubs brand FIGS opens first Texas location in Rice Village

    FIGS will open its new Rice Village Community Hub on December 6.

    Healthcare apparel company FIGS is opening its first brick-and-mortar store in Texas with a new Community Hub in Rice Village. The retail space is designed to serve both as a store and a gathering spot for the city's healthcare community.

    The Rice Village location opens this Saturday, December 6, with a public grand opening event on December 13 from 6 to 8 pm featuring giveaways, music, food, and drinks from local vendors. Joining outposts in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York City, the Houston location is the fourth Community Hub for the company and the only location in the South.

    The store will carry the full range of FIGS products, including scrubwear, loungewear, and accessories. It will also host events and programming focused on healthcare topics, offering visitors opportunities to meet and share experiences.

    At the new FIGS boutique, shoppers will find the Color Clinic, offering scrubwear in core colors with rotating seasonal options. The store also has a Customization Station, which provides embroidery for names, titles, practice or hospital logos, and local icon options available only at Community Hubs. Personalization is also available for scrub caps, outerwear, and accessories.

    The brand, founded in 2013 by Heather Hasson and Trina Spear, is known for fashion-forward medical uniforms made from a proprietary fabric with four-way stretch, antimicrobial technology, moisture-wicking, and wrinkle resistance. Hasson and Spear began selling directly to healthcare workers in Los Angeles-area hospital parking lots before growing their presence as an online retailer.

    CEO and co-founder Trina Spear believes Rice Village was the perfect choice due to its proximity to the Texas Medical Center. She said the company wanted a space that supports Houston healthcare professionals and gives them a place to shop and connect.

    "Houston is home to the Texas Medical Center, the largest medical complex in the world, and we are honored to bring a FIGS Community Hub to this city. This space is designed to serve and celebrate Houston healthcare professionals," said Spear. "Our Community Hubs create opportunities for customers to not only shop in a way that never previously existed, but to connect with each other and with FIGS on a deeper level."

    FIGS Community Hub, 5515 Kelvin Dr., Suite 130, 77005
