Greetings from Austin mural painted on their wall outside.
Kristen T.

For my first trip to Austin, I wasn't sure where to begin exploring, so I decided to start my day at the Greetings From Austin postcard mural. After seeing it though, I noticed it was painted on the way of an art gallery with a lot of curious figures lurking over the backyard fence. Looking in the windows I could see it was a workshop and gallery showcasing neon signs and metalwork. Even though there were no hours on the door I risked wandering in, and for a moment just wandered around wondering if anyone was there. Then, I walked to the backyard and was soon greeted by the artist and owner himself, Todd Sanders, and his sweet Westie, Hank, who was "supposed to be a guard dog". Todd's a very nice and gracious man, he chatted with me the whole time I viewed his gallery, and was completely comfortable with me taking photos and looking around even though I didn't have the means or intention to purchase his art. That said, his art is gorgeous! Really timeless pieces with a lot of personality, and mostly at a very large size. These are meant to be statement pieces, and if I had a house or place large enough to house one, I'd do it! That said, Todd is very accomplished, and has worked in a variety of trades and for awhile was refurbishing older neon signs for people, but says he loved making original pieces and it was his passion, so he put everything else aside and started to focus. And now he's got a successful business and has really famous clients -- one of his signs made up the cover of a Kings of Leon album. Todd was gracious enough to let me take his portrait before a left, and gave me a list of other great curated and creative shops to stop by while I'm in the area. Very cool local artist and biz owner, definitely stop in if you originally only planned to see the mural outside!

Great artist, but an even greater guy! I've visited the shop numerous times, and each time I've had a great time. I can't wait to go back!

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

Fabulous shopping place year round for Christmas, holidays, birthdays or anytime gifts. Original…read moredesign cards, t-shirts, cute or irreverent socks & mugs for yourself & kids of all ages. Lots of Austin-centric goodies, souvenirs and artists' creations. Sweet, salty & sassy options. Interesting selection of new vinyl collections! Fabulous local shopping gem.

Sugarboo & Co is a cool, unique and eclectic store with everything imaginable. When I was walking…read moreby I saw that they were selling Dubai chocolates. When I inquired more specifically, I learned that those were not "the Dubai chocolates." I appreciate the sales associate's honesty. They have a plethora of wall hangings. It is quite impressive the sayings they have on some of their wall hangings. If you are looking for some unique hearts for Valentine's day, Sugarboo is your go to place. The staff is southern hospitality friendly. They welcome any questions and if you are looking for something specifically, they will let you know exactly where it is in the store. This store is very affordable. Importantly, it has unique items that you will not find in every store you frequent.

From pillows to placemats to notepads to candles to sweaters and shirts and comforters and pet items. Oh my! This store has so many fun products that are great gift giving ideas at reasonable prices. I visited from California on a work trip and super bummed I didn't bring a bigger suitcase because I would've bought so many gifts to give. I believe this store is female owned, and have store locations throughout the south. Their staff is sweet and accommodating, and every gift comes with a beautiful gift wrapping that's complementary. They have plenty of parking as they are part of a mall and there is tons of parking stalls. Can't wait to come back and visit this store on my next work trip. It will definitely be on my list of things to do when I visit Austin, Texas and in the mood for shopping.
