 The times are a'changing in Wynwood. Then again, when has the neighborhood ever stood still? It’s like every time you visit, an old warehouse has been razed and replaced with a mid-rise apartment building or a whole city block of increasingly good restaurants, lively bars and dance clubs and, our favorite thing when we're not being a lush – shops. Wynwood's retail scene is a locus for discovery, less a place to buy everyday essential  and more a cluster of local brands, novelty shops, streetwear and sneaker stores, and markets touting things you won't find anywhere else. Best of all, everything is in walking distance from each other. If you're looking to find unique gifts – both for others and for yourself – Wynwood's got something for you. Here's your guide to the best stores to shop in Wynwood right now.

1. UNKNWN

UNKWN is Miami’s premier streetwear store, a place of “exclusive drop” and “limited edition” lore for those who subscribe to HypeBeast like it’s religion. Co-founded by LeBron James and his childhood friends, Frankie Walker Jr. and Jaron Kanfer, UNKNWN brings together art, fashion, sports, music and community under one roof. Expect to find brands like NIKE, Jordan, Fear of God, Maison Margiela and Pleasures, but don’t miss UNKNWN’s own eponymous line, which includes limited-edition collabs with everyone from the Miami Dolphins to Thom Browne.

In addition to being a great store, one of the things that makes UNKNWN special is its commitment to building community. Adjacent to the store is UNKNWN’s full-size basketball court, where non-profits and brands host events, gatherings and activities throughout the year. Especially of note is the UNKNWN Fit Club, which hosts frequent runs and other fitness events like HIIT and yoga classes for locals. If you need a reason to add to your Air Max collection, well, this might just be it.

2. Peachtree Vintage

What's Wynwood without a vintage shop? Located just outside the neighborhood core, Peachtree Vintage is a dream/angel/fairy/love-core cove with tons of unique, eclectic finds. This isn't a place you're going for designer "steals." It eschews labels for accessibly priced finds that are heavy on the 90s and Y2K trend, and it's aesthetically a delight to step inside.

3. OFY

OFY is a local lifestyle brand touting high-quality loungewear for men and women. Statement-making but just as subdued, the brand features classic tees, joggers, hoodies and more in neutral and trendy colors and patterns – as well as some in fabrics that they've patented (trust us, the terry-linen is delicious). There's also some limited edition prints and Florida-themed collections for good fun as well as contemporary accessories and footwear from up-and-coming and local brands. So, should you make a stop? As the brand might suggest, Oh Fuck Yeah.

4. Osme Perfumery

Lucky is the person who wanders deep inside Wynwood Arcade and discovers Osme Perfumery, Miami’s finest fragrance and apothecary shop. Here, you won’t find popular indie brands like Creed or Le Labo. Instead, let your nose guide you through intricate aromas from storied brands like Floris London, the only perfumer to hold a Royal Warrant from the Queen, and Eight & Bob, a brand created for and worn by JFK himself.

Each fragrance in this store is a creative combination of some of the world’s most unique ingredients, so put your trust in owner Maurice Locke to lead you through the shop. Who knows? You might walk out having finally found your own signature scent.

This menswear boutique opened in Wynwood way before the mid-rises and cover-charging bars rolled in, and in the years since it’s evolved from a multi-brand retailer into one with its very own clothing line called Dear Deer.

In addition, Basico carries other designers and is especially popular for its diverse selection of matching swim trunks and button-downs, denim, tees, dress sneakers and more.

14. Glottman

Retail therapy should spark curiosity and joy, and for that there’s Glottman. This is Wynwood’s oldest standing retail shop and is only a third of the Glottman whole, which includes a studio (for design, architecture and lighting design services) and a showroom (for interior architecture and design systems).

But let’s get back to what you came here for: the design-forward conversation pieces! Think Taschen coffee table books on creativity and travel, a skyscraper chess set that doubles as decor, architectural home goods designed by the likes of Zaha Hadid, and scents and incense (including a proprietary blend) that have proven to be quite popular with the locals. Equal parts sophisticated and quirky, but always interesting, this is the perfect place to buy a housewarming or birthday gift for your most creative friend.
