Welcome to The Gilded Gator™

ROOTED IN GRIT & GLITTER

Born from a love of whimsical décor, heartfelt gifting, and the magic of supporting local makers, The Gilded Gator™ is more than just a shop. It is a little piece of Houston you can take home. Whether you are hunting for the perfect monogrammed tote, a handcrafted candle, or a keepsake with personality, every item is curated with care and a hint of sparkle.
