Great for Gifts

1. Ten Thousand…

Neighborhood: 78704 (South Austin)

What an awesome place!  We went for a fundraiser for my daughter's Camp Fire council.  Not only was it a great place to shop for gifts (for me and others!), but the people "working" were very nice...

2. Toy Joy

Neighborhood: University of Texas

Accessories, c.) Good coffee next door, and d.) FREE GIFT WRAPPING  but, they've got a GREAT STAFF of fun, lovable people working for them.  I love you, TOY JOY!...

3. Parts & Labour

Neighborhood: Downtown

Best bookstore ever. We are lucky to have such a great bookstore in Austin. I could and do spend hours here almost every weekend.  I love the staff and the gift section as well....

3. Waterloo Records &…

Neighborhood: Downtown

Waterloo is the place to go to find practically anything. They also have a really good selection of crap in their used section. I really like perusing their records, new and used. I once bought...

4. BackSpin Records

As others say, Backspin is great for DJs, and as a DJ I agree.    I love the vinyl selection here. You don't have to sift through tons of crap to get to the goods.      You can't really compare...
