  1. 5 ICONIC, CLASSIC & QUIRKYAUSTIN GIFT IDEAS

  2. SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE There’s no place quite like Austin. From delicious tacos (breakfast, anyone?) to memorable BBQ (We’re looking at you, La Barbecue), to live music and festivals and something of an obsession with biking, Austin has a little something for everyone. That’s also what makes Austin gifts some of the most unique and fun presents around. If you’re looking for a gift that captures the spirit of our city, look no further than the Austin gift ideas listed here.

  3. TACOS Give the gift of tacos anytime (Breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert….). If there is one thing Austinites love, it’s tacos, and if there is any Austin gift idea out there that could please anyone, it’s a taco gift. Consider a gift card to one of the city’s many tasty taco stands, from breakfast tacos at Juan in a Million to taco desserts (Yes, really!) at the TacoSweets food truck. Of course, you don’t have to limit yourself to gift cards. Go the DIY route with a taco-making kit, complete with a tortilla warmer and some authentic salsa, or let your loved one broadcast their taco addiction with a sassy t-shirt or bag (“My head says gym, but my heart says tacos,” for example). As long as it involves tacos, this Austin gift idea can’t go wrong.

  4. CYCLING ACCESSORIES Ride your way to gift success with the Austin gift of creative cycling accessories. No Austin gift ideas list would be complete without a nod to the city’s cycling culture (Lance Armstrong even set up bike shop here...). Give a gift card to Armstrong’s famous bike store, Mellow Johnny’s, or give the gift of a bike rental to out of town friends and family. If you want to go quirky (Also a beloved Austin trait), embrace a more creative view of Austin cycling gift ideas. Give a road map of Austin in the shape of a bicycle, for instance, or a set of coasters decorated like bicycle tires. Quirky, fun, and fab, these gifts will infuse your loved one’s home with the Austin love of cycling (Even if they *gasp* don’t cycle all that much themselves).

  5. GIFT BASKETS Put Austin in a basket (Never a box!). You may not be able to put the vibrant and diverse Austin culture in a box, but you sure can put it in a basket with unique Austin City gift baskets. This Austin gift idea distills the Austin spirit to its most essential (and fun) elements by carefully selecting local Austin treasures for your loved one. In particular, Austin City gift baskets focus on the flavors of Austin to give your loved ones a literal taste of the city. Examples of items that might appear in a box: Lammes candies, Kerby Lane pancake mix, Fara coffe, and AustiNuts products. You can even pick a theme for your basket: Current holiday themes include Austin Gingerbread House and Austin Reindeer gift baskets.

  6. MUSIC-THEMED Make your loved ones sing with a music-themed Austin gift idea. When a city puts live music in its grocery stores, you know its serious about its tunes. Music might just be the very heart and soul of this city, and any Austin gift idea list needs to include some music-themed presents.  You can go less predictable with a cutting board declaring Austin to be the live music capital of the world, nerdy with a book about the Austin music scene (Try Austin Chronicle Music Anthology or Austin City Limits: 25 Years of American Music), or traditional with a CD recording of Austin’s live music. These gifts will make your loved one’s heart sing, but you can also help them to literally sing with an Austin gift idea that lets them participate in the music. Pick up a musical instrument at a music store; buy them some music lessons, or pick them up some tickets to one of the city’s innumerable festivals and live music events. It doesn’t even matter what their musical preferences are: You’ll be able to find something they’ll enjoy, live and in person, in this music loving city.

  7. AUSTIN BBQ Spice up your gift giving with some truly tasty BBQ Austin gift ideas. If Austinites aren’t eating tacos, they are probably eating BBQ. Spice up your gift giving with some Austin gift ideas that capture the flavor of the city. For example, a gift basket full of spices and rubs from Stubb’s or Rudy’s will a signature Texan flavor to your loved one’s BBQ that they’ll be sure to love. You can even send your loved one a gift delivery of true Austin BBQ from a place like Stubb’s County Line, or Iron Works BBQ. Have a loved one who would rather make the food themselves? Teach them how to do it Austin-style, with a Franklin Barbecue cookbook. Or, let them get expert, hands-on instruction with cooking classes focused on true Austin BBQ. You can also let them embrace their BBQ passion with a unique gift for barbecue lovers, like a personalized apron or digital BBQ thermometer tongs that lets them craft their food in true Austin style (Though their lives still won’t be complete without some genuine local Austin BBQ).

  8. BIGGER IN TEXAS, BETTER IN AUSTIN If you’re looking for an Austin-themed gift for the upcoming holidays, these are just a tiny taste (pun intended) of the many options out there. You can’t go wrong with a taco gift, a cycling gift, an Austin City gift basket, a music-themed gift, or a BBQ gift. But don’t stop there. From fun fashion to fitness, from a vibrant art scene to a rich appreciation of its history, the city’s rich culture offers you an infinite number of great Austin gift ideas.
