Faire La Nouba

Faire La Nouba is a shop of curated gifts and home goods, from cotton napkins with tassels and cocktail napkins to tea towels, soy candles and cheese boards. Founded by Rachael and Brian Tolbert, the store takes its name from the French phrase for "live it up," and much of its stock leans toward parties and celebrations, with collections for bachelorette weekends, patriotic occasions and dinner hosts. Its wine and beer selection is chosen by the beverage director, Christopher Hobbs.

Gift cards are available, and the shop also offers consignment. Shoppers can browse the online shop or stop in at the store on Main Street in Smithville, Texas. The team is happy to take questions by phone or through the contact form, and Rachael often answers the phone herself.
