The tinsel’s been strung on the tree, and the Christmas tunes are playing everywhere you go. Before you know it, it’ll be time to get Secret Santa assignments, and you’ll be left to get a present for one of your coworkers. If you’re already feeling a little stumped, we’ve come up with a few great ideas you can find in Austin!
For the Beer Lovers – With a ton of great breweries around the area, why not put together a basket of some of the best beers brewed locally? You can even add in some pint glasses or a shirt/hoodie from their favorite spot! Don’t know where to start? Try The Brewer’s Table, Zilker Brewing, Real Ale, and St. Elmo Brewing to start. There are a variety of great breweries throughout Austin and the surrounding areas.
A Gift with a Cause – If you’re looking to buy a gift for someone with a big heart and who can often be found hiking the trails and enjoying Austin’s parks, check out the Austin Parks Foundation. They have reasonably priced gifts from shirt and socks to reusable bottles and straws, and all the proceeds go towards providing high-quality parks for all Austinites.
For the Person Who Needs to Treat Themselves More Often – We all know someone that seems to put everyone else above themselves. Give them a gift that’s all about relaxation and pampering themselves. You could include a bath bomb and a face mask from Lush, or you could go all out with one of their gift sets.
Sweet Treats for the Sweetest Coworker – Everyone could use a mid-day pick-me-up, including the go-to ray of sunshine on your team. Pick up a few great treats from Big Top, where you’ll find old-school candies that you haven’t seen on shelves since you were a child. Then head to Maggie Louise Confections for some specialty chocolates.
For the Book Worm – Book People is the largest independent book store in Texas, and they offer a great selection of great reads. Their team is well-versed on what books every reader should have on their bookshelves, and they even have some specialty items that would make a great Christmas gift.
