The Silver Strawberry

The Silver Strawberry at 30006 Tomball Parkway (State Highway 249) is a family-friendly boutique and gift shop that owner Michelle McQuillan, who grew up in the Tomball area, opened in 2001; it has been at its Highway 249 location since 2010. The business started with silver jewelry, which inspired the name, and has grown into more than a typical gift shop. It carries boutique clothing for women and kids, jewelry, gifts, glassware, bath items, home decor and accessories, along with gifts for bridal and baby showers. It's also a go-to for school spirit: The Silver Strawberry makes custom homecoming mums from scratch to order, with a big display of options and supplies for families who want to make their own, and it carries back-to-school items. The shop specializes in customizing and personalizing, including screen-printed T-shirts for clubs, churches and family reunions and monogramming on shirts, hats and aprons. It also sells online through its website.
