HMK Store Haul & Giveaway!

This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my full disclosure statement for details.

December 18, 2014 Shannon Schmid 50 Comments

I recently had the chance to visit the neatest store! HMK specializes in helping you create beautiful gifts, cards and accessories- and finding something truly unique.

Each aisle is full of one of a kind gifts that you can really make your own through personalization, color choices, and professional gift wrapping!

There are currently 3 HMK stores in the country – and one is in Southlake, Texas! From the moment I walked in – I was made to feel at ease and welcome. I was greeted with samples of handmade toffee and the store manager came right over and said hello. This is the kind of store that puts a smile on your face as soon as you walk in. The only problem – is figuring out which aisle to peruse first!

HMK Hallmark

One of the real surprises for me – was that the store does amazing custom silhouettes! They can take a profile picture in the store, or tell you how to take one at home. After a week or two – you get a beautiful silhouette of a family member to display. I ordered one of my daughter – I don’t know of any other store that offers that!

The HMK location I visited in Southlake Texas also features lot’s of regional Texas gifts! I may have to make my way back to get an engraved Texas cutting board! Super adorable.

Want an up close look at what else I bought on my HMK shopping trip? The above video is an inside look at the Southlake HMK location as well as a look at some of the things I couldn’t leave without!

I had the best time discovering all the unique gifts HMK offers, and cannot wait to visit again soon. Would you like to shop at an HMK store near you? Enter below to win a $50 Gift Card!

I avoided it at first because it didn’t seem that fun. Then- because I didn’t know how to do it. But, this year I’m challenging myself to try new things. Even if I look like an idiot! Who cares?! 😃

Bottom line, loved bowling. I suck. But it’s fun! Who knew? Well, lots of people. But now me too! Also- it’s helpful to have friends that make you try new things and expand your horizons. Super grateful for mine! ❤️
