A great place for tourists looking for cheap Austin gifts or a place for natives to remind themselves of their city, this little store is a consignment shop that has everything you could think of and a little bit more. For example, I love their collection of jewelry made completely out of silverware. The employees aren't too friendly, usually, but at least they leave you alone while you're perusing!

I love to shop here when I am looking for unique Austin gifts. The store is set up as a consignment shop, with individuals basically renting wall space, where they can sell anything they want. They have everything from homemade soaps and jewelry to fancy artwork. This is a great store if you are looking for some homemade items and not the normal touristy items you usually see in gift shops.

The employees are not very helpful if you are looking for something in particular...you just have to browse until you find it. Other than that, the items are great and the prices are reasonable for homemade crafts and artwork.

I was just in this weekend and this store was a lot of fun. There's such a mix of different items I ended up staying over an hour when I really just planned to pop in for a Keep Austin Weird t-shirt.
With everything from candles to beaded crosses and wind chimes to hilarious political magnets, calendars and Day of the Dead art, not to mention all the vintage and flea market type finds, I'm sure I didn't see all there was to see.
Also, I found the employee working to be super friendly and knew exactly where to find what I was looking for. I'll definitely go back.
