2. Make homemade goodies with Big Texas love. Buy local ingredients.

3. Buy and eat locally grown foods.

4. Choose flowers and plants that thrive in Austin. Plant rather than cut. If you get flowers don't toss them. They can be composted, or dried and pressed for artwork or homemad potpourri.

5. Create a card / decorations using photos, reusable and recyclable items.

6. An Heirloom / special item can make great gift for a loved one. Alsoheirloom plants
