7 Local Brands for Gifts
Katie Kime
My husband bought me the cutest pajamas from Katie Kime last year, with Austin landmarks and Willie Nelson on them. They’re the perfect gift for anyone who loves Austin (or any of the other cities she has toile pajamas for — Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth, Marfa).
Katie Kime also has home decor, wallpaper, and plenty of things to make your holiday special and charming.
Choose local pickup at the Katie Kime Showroom in Austin if you’re worried about it shipping in time for Christmas!
Use code AUSTINWITHKIDS20 for 20% off an order through the end of the year. Cannot be stacked with other offers.
Big Weekend Calendars
This calendar is a must-have for all of you who want to make sure you don’t miss any of your favorite Austin events! I cannot wait to use it this year.
There are more than 250 events (with descriptions) on the calendar, from ABC Kite Fest to Austin Studio Tour to Eeyore’s Birthday Party. Buy it in local stores (grocery stores, Book People, etc.) or on Amazon!
Slow North
Nothing makes a home feel cozier than the soft glow of candles — and they have to smell great! Slow North is woman-owned and their products are made in Austin in small batches.
They have candles, sprays, essential oils, and lovely eye masks and neck wraps. These would make great gifts for girlfriends or anyone who is tricky to shop for.
Yellow Bess
Create a custom rubber stamp for your friends or family. This is a great idea for teachers, new home owners and entrepreneurs!
Pelican Post and Paperie
I have always been a pen and paper girl. I love planners and lists and writing notes. So Pelican Post and Paperie is a little dream shop!
If you have any writers or professionals in your life, you can get them a practical but gorgeous pen, journal, or high-quality paper.
Garden Seventeen
Whether you’re looking for a gift for a gardener or a houseplant lover, you can find tons of options at Garden Seventeen. Supplies, tools, beautiful plants, you name it. There’s even a coffee truck and taco truck on site, so you’ll love your shopping experience even more!
House of Medicinals
Pamper your loved ones with all-natural bath and body products from House of Medicinals! You can find herbal bath teas, essential oil candles, bath oils, and more. This company is focused on being eco-friendly, with plant-based products, plastic-free packaging and cruelty-free.
