Holiday Shopping in the Austin metro area

Tis the season to start holiday shopping for lots of folks. As you plan your holiday shopping and gifts for your family, please keep in mind our advertisers and local businesses. Some suggestions for shopping local for the kids:

Kids Wheels offers a great selection of ride-on as well as push & pedal vehicles for kids. And they offer layaway. Keep in mind that they have moved. They are now located at 519 N. Bell Ave in Cedar Park. www.kidswheels.com

Kaleidoscope Toys, Round Rock’s Fun Educational Toy Store, has an amazing selection of games, toys, science & art kits, dress-up clothes, and more. They also have many special events planned leading up to the holidays so be sure to check our calendar or their website. This weekend they will have a silhouette artist at the store (appointments required, call 388-5048 details) as well as a Playmobile Play Day planned! www.kstoy.com
