Looking for the perfect gift for your Austin-obsessed loved ones this year? Luckily for those with major Austin pride, we’re kicking off the holiday season with the launch of 6AM Rewards — our new loyalty and referral program — that can be used for exclusive rewards from The 6AM Shop.
Now until midnight on Mon., Nov. 30, every dollar you spend in The 6AM Shop earns 3x the points — that's 15 points (instead of the usual 5) per dollar spent on Austin-inspired sweatshirts, art, coffee mugs + more — all designed by local creatives.
Learn how to earn points and redeem rewards points here.
Featuring work from locally based creatives, a portion of proceeds from swag purchased in The 6AM Shop goes directly to those local designers. Know a local artist or graphic designer that would be the perfect fit for our shop? Learn more about how they can be featured here.
Shopping local and earning rewards to redeem for more local merch in the future? We call that a win-win.
Happy shopping (and earning), Austin.

Weather
- 62º | Mostly cloudy | 0% chance of rain
Sports
- UT’s game today could reopen the Longhorns’ chances at a bowl game — so put your horns up, Austin. If enough teams fail to make the six wins required for bowl eligibility, then a win against Kansas State could bump Texas to a 5-7 record, putting the team back in the running for inclusion based on NCAA Academic Progress Rates. 🏈 (Austin American-Statesman)
Holiday
- Now that Thanksgiving is over, it’s officially Christmas season — right? Aside from a healthy dose of holiday spirit, there might be another reason to shop for your tree early this year: Local tree farm owners are worried they might not be able to meet demand due to environmental + supply chain issues. 🎄 (Austin American-Statesman)
Transportation
- Capital Metro is moving forward on a $4.7 million project at the intersection of North Lamar and Airport Boulevards. This is a major project for the public transit agency, as the area could eventually be a major convergence of MetroRail lines. 🚉 (Community Impact Austin)
Listen
- Willie, you’ve done it again. Willie Nelson was just nominated for a Grammy Award — and he’s already been nominated for more than 50. The Austin country star has also won 10 Grammys in his more than 60 years of music. Austin rock and soul band Black Pumas was also nominated for best rock album. 🎶 (Austin American-Statesman)
