The holiday season is in full swing and while gift lists can feel daunting, Austin’s vibrant community of local businesses makes finding thoughtful presents a joy. KUT recently highlighted 18 standout small businesses in the Austin area where you can score meaningful, unique gifts this season — from artisan confections to vintage treasures and more. Supporting local means giving gifts with personality while strengthening our community economy. KUT
While the KUT guide focuses on a number of terrific small shops around town — like Asahi Imports’ specialty goods, Big Top Candy’s festive sweets, Reverie Books’ curated reads, and Uncommon Objects’ one-of-a-kind curios — we want to highlight another local favorite you shouldn’t overlook: Paws on Chicon.

Why Shop Local This Season?
Austin shoppers are increasingly choosing local businesses for holiday gifts — not just for the originality of the items, but for the community connection and personalized service small stores offer. Shopping local supports entrepreneurs, preserves neighborhood character, and puts dollars right back into the local economy. New York Post
The KUT list is a great springboard for holiday shopping, but remember that unique treasures extend beyond the stores featured there. Paws on Chicon brings that same local spirit to pet gifting — with products and services that show how much you care about your pets’ well-being.
