Spirit Halloween on Austin Highway in the Alamo Heights area is a compact store that is well…read morestocked with costumes and accessories for all ages -- babies, children, teens, and adults. Some of the trends we noticed this year: Black Panther and Wonder Woman. Games like Fortnite and Fallout. New (and new-ish) shows like Miraculous (Cat Noir and Ladybug), Steven Universe, and Descendants. The big face masks -- kittens, emojis, politicians -- are hilarious. Steampunk seems to be on the rise. On this trip, my big haul was accessories like silly hats (useful for public speaking gigs), tights (for goth dress up), and cute hats and fascinators (for parties). We are planning to come back soon for some yard decor and more kids' costumes.

I've seen their Halloween, thanksgiving and Christmas/holiday collections so far and they have a lot of inexpensive and cute decor, disposable items, and candy/snacks.

I just bought a cast iron grill pan (I'm making kebabs and needed my chicken to have grill marks lol) for 5 bucks! They've got everything from art supplies (LOTS of art supplies) to cleaning products, candy, cookies, paper goods such as plates, bowls, napkins etc., toys galore, little board games and puzzles, bathing products, toiletries, Christmas decorations and gift bags/greeting cards and even simple costume jewelry and candles. Right now they're open until 9 which is pretty early of a closing time for me but it's worth the scramble to get here because I know I will never leave this place empty handed. Stop by and check it out for yourself! You see what I did there?! Cause... you know... you scan and pay for your items yourself. Please don't unfriend me :)

It was truly one of the highlights of my trip and I would highly recommend visiting to anyone in the area, and I hope to go again in the future! The parking nearby was a short walk but nothing crazy, and once we got to the Market it was shaded very well and had such a variety of stands both inside and outside of the buildings which I loved. It was a little hot outside so it was nice to be able to rotate between both areas. There was also such a great mix of stores, restaurants, snack stands, and artisans and crafts throughout. We grabbed some aguas frescas to sip on while we explored and they were delicious and a great price for how big they were. We had a big breakfast but it would be nice to try some of the many lunch spots they had throughout the market. The stores had everything but I loved the amount of talavera pottery to choose from and stocked up as much as my suitcase would allow. Prices are super reasonable as well considering these are handmade artisan pieces. I use my tazas everyday and they are the best coffee cups I have ever had. The merchants are super friendly and helpful as well. Everyone was very welcoming and made it a great experience. I hope to be back in the future!

There were food, drink, and craft vendors selling in the outdoor market which made the ambiance very lively but not too crowded, as well as live music. Unfortunately, the vendors' food was underwhelming and expensive. I was coming from California and was excited to compare Mexican street food in Texas, but the options were very bland. Esquites - $12, 5 street tacos - $18, Chicken Gorditas -$11, Agua Fresca -$10 I did enjoy looking inside the markets (don't forget there are 2 different buildings for you to do your shopping). You can find some inexpensive souvenirs mixed in with some of higher price points.

The two antique stores aisles are so jam packed with items you can barely walk through. The old filling station converted into an antique shop has no AC and doesn't open until 11 on Fridays, so during the summer in Texas it is already pretty hot by then. There was a public bathroom in the middle of everything so that was nice. Also stopped by cheetahlish boutique store and barely got in the door before the guy running the register made us feel unwelcome by immediately stating that there really wasn't enough aisle room for us. Needless to say, we left pretty quickly after arriving. Would like to come back to see John T. Floored and restaurant and music venue. Lots of big and small artists seem to come through

Is there a better place to enjoy a great latte than The Shops?
