12 Best Places for Shopping in Austin

"In a city that’s growing and changing, this might as well be called the little gift shop that could. Thanks to its select, varied collection of gifts and one-of-a kind finds, Take Heart continues to thrive even as similar stores close or move to e-commerce. In fact, after seven-and-a-half years, Take Heart has moved to a new location—in a striking building by local architecture firm Furman + Keil—with even more space than its previous home. Look for unique gifts, from ceramic bud vases and nature-inspired paperweights to glass teapots and handmade children's toys like natural wood blocks and hand-knitted stuffed animals." - Stirling Kelso
