Joy Gift Shoppe, a locally and woman-owned specialty gift store, opened on Kerbey Lane on Oct. 3.

Shop owner Chris Mattsson opened Joy Gift Shoppe to celebrate the craftsmanship of Austin's artisan community.

“As a longtime resident of Austin, Chris Mattsson wanted to create a space that celebrates the city’s vibrant local culture and gives people a place to find special, thoughtful gifts,” a shop representative said in a news release. “The store reflects her love for Austin and the incredible artisans who make it unique.”

Joy Gift Shoppe sells a curated selection of items, such as handmade jewelry, ceramics, greeting cards, seasonal gifts and more. There are plans to host events, such as artist pop-ups and holiday markets, at the shop.
