Obacht

Tucked into a side street close to the Hofbäuhaus and the Mandarin Oriental hotel, this is a cute shop for classic Munich gifts with a designer twist. The selection includes everything from baby onesies with Bavarian expressions and blue-and-white checkered tea towels to cozy felt slippers perfect for an Alpine hut and whimsical beer steins. The boutique is airy, light and modern – a far cry from the other touristy boutiques crowded in this area. It's a great one-stop shop for gifts and mementos that pack well.
