Gift ideas Austria

It is a curious concept that this small shopping mall in the premises imagined by Hundertwasser, a stone's throw from the experimental residential building that the artist signed for the city of Vienna. Here you can enjoy the whimsical decorative motifs in the purest Hundertwasser style. Today the gallery aligns souvenir, gift and reproduction shops with Klimt or Hundertwasser motifs composing a kitsch and fairy-tale bazaar. Sightseeing, cultural or consumer temptation... What would Hundertwasser say?

Unlike impersonal, overcrowded souvenir stores, this very pretty boutique, a stone's throw from Kettenbrückengasse station, offers a selection of accessories and clothing by original, mostly European, artisans and designers. You'll find jewelry, homewear, kimonos and babouches, scarves and gloves, handbags and original decorative objects, as well as bath products. A rich and successful selection from Austria, France, Holland and Denmark.

For a change from kitsch souvenirs and snow globes, The Vienna Store Hamtil & Söhne, a label that has been around since 1923, offers a selection of refined home accessories, jewelry, watches, handbags and souvenirs inspired by 1900s Vienna and Viennese modernism. So many trendy, designer products made in Austria. Can you resist the breading plates to make your own Viennese schnitzel? Plus, books on Vienna.
