Since living in Austin is a gift in itself, we love to treat our visitors (and ourselves) to local presents-a-plenty.

Next time you’re looking for a way to celebrate our city, set your sights on the Austin Gift Box, a new Austin-based business that creates specially-made gift boxes using only locally made food and gift items. From CDs featuring Austin City Limits tapings and books highlighting the best Mexican Food in town, to salsa and BBQ sauce, this gift box is a fun reminder of why we all cherish our Austin address. The pricing is reasonable and the shipping is quick.

Austin—the gift that keeps on giving.

Check out the Valentine-themed box which comes in a vintage-style mini suitcase and is filled with chocolate treats from Tempt, SXUL Chocolate, Fat Turkey Chocolate, Viva, Mary Louise Butter’s Brownies and a $25 gift certificate to Sabia Modern Apothecary.

Add the Anne Kiel Valentine Charm to your February wish list. Forget wearing your heart on your sleeve—let these cute red resin charms feature the initial of the one you love. They retail for $22 and are available at Eliza Page, Crofts Original and online at www.annekiel.com.
