This is a very unique gift shop as it is basically dozens of vendors under a single roof selling…read moretheir new and used wares. If you're a local artisan, this is a great place to feature your artwork. Most of these consignment booths are just 4 feet wide with a pegboard wall. Prices range from $120-$220 a month which is quite reasonable. And due to these reasonable prices, they may not have any space. For you the customer, this is definitely a great place to find a unique item.

Painted Tree is unique in that there are local artisans, craft makers, and vintage items you will find here at super affordable prices. Parking is never an issue when I come here to buy a unique piece for a friend or family gift. There are a lot of Austin-centric and often handcrafted pieces here. I have seen original artwork, candles, quilts, glassware, and a ton of stickers and even kids-related and appropriate finds. I recommend coming during the week but often times on the weekends the management will run specials and give a percentage off for shoppers. I would consider checking their social handles for events. I have seen several themed events that last from open to close such as summer events, mother's day, and even recently a Halloween (or holiday) themed promotion to get you inside and browsing. No need to remember vendors or take down names or booth numbers. All you have to do is grab what you like and when you check out the staff will scan and utilize their system to get you through your purchase. The staff have always been helpful and friendly.

I met Jennifer at a farmers/artisan market and was so impressed with all of her beautiful succulents that I purchased several. I also really like the fact that she offers workshops where you can gather your girlfriends, she will supply all the materials you need to make your own special succulent. It's a perfect idea for a shower or holiday party. They also make great gifts for hostesses or teachers.

In my search to find unique coffee shops, I checked out Maaribu. I don't know how I've driven by…read morethis place so many times and never noticed it before! They have a small parking lot on the side, along with a few spots specifically for takeout. As the name suggests, it's also a gift store, which makes the place even more unique. The inside is very clean and modern. I ended up getting a vanilla latte, which was a little bitter for my taste, but it was still a good coffee. My favorite thing about this place was definitely the outdoor space in the back. It's very relaxing and beautiful. The uniqueness of the interior, combined with the amazing outdoor space, makes Maaribu a place worth visiting!

It's a great gift shop for both locals and visitors. Some of my favorites gift options include the pottery mugs, cards, Texas stuffs and handmade soaps. They have many brands of handmade soaps and they all smell so good. The only reason I'm not giving a 5-star is bc most of the items I found here are overpriced. However, I definitely would recommend to people who are looking for fancy gifts! A very cute store to visit and shop.

I truly enjoyed the Heirloom Masa Hot Cakes along with the Mont Blanc coffee drink- exquisite without being too heavy! The interior is beautiful without being pretentious- definitely a great option for doing work as I saw several people with their laptops in the inner corner.

Something I've been paying attention to especially when shopping at a local business is customer…read moreservice and friendliness. I'm not sure if the gentleman who checked me out was the owner or a regular employee. Regardless, he did not have a friendly disposition when checking me out. (I am a woman of color for reference) he didn't even greet me which is a simple courtesy. I had to ask him "hey, how are you today" to which he didn't respond and just told me the balance I owed. My fellow friend (white male) checked out right after me and he greeted him! He also asked him how he wanted his items wrapped. (We both had the same items) If the store itself wasn't so nice and full of good merchandise/gifts I would've given it an even lower rating. To management: please know and remind your employees that even a simple hello goes a long way Edit: This seems to be a trend going years back (looking at reviews) with this business and their discriminatory practices. There are better local shops with less AI slop to patronize

How well made they were looks like good quality. Then I saw a very unique large peice of thick wood with 4 or 5 very large bulbs wrapped hanging like a a chandelier. Very cool indeed as walked through the store there so many beautiful things all throughout the store. I did find a porcelain baby bath tub and it looked like an antique sells for about 250.00 price tag but well worth it. I truly love there choices for clothing but forgot to bring my purse in. I definitely will return so many very unique items they carry. As I shall return and get the candles with a wonderful heavenly scented. Parking very easy and will visit soon really like to but the cow skulls so beautiful...mirrors are impressive. I could hangout there for hours and not be bored. Definitely highly recommend Westlake location
