Souvenir shopping in Vienna?

We%26#39;ll be in Vienna in October for a couple days. Can anyone recommend any good areas/locations for souvenir shopping (not expensive, your typical souvenirs like Vienna t-shirts, Xmas ornaments, etc.) I don%26#39;t want to be running around looking for a place and would rather have an idea of where to go.



Thanks!

Most museums , major tourist sights have souvenir shops - perhaps some things of interest but can be expensive. Examples - shops in the Hofburg and Schönbrunn Palaces, Fine Arts museum etc.





But as you are already there to tour it makes shopping easy.





Look along Kartnerstrasse, Graben - shopping pedestrian zones in the city center- numerous shops and kiosks - offering all manner of souvenirs from T- shirts, sweatshirts, hats, mugs, key chains, shopping bags and the like that you see everywhere with a diofferent logo.





Several kiosks in the Naschmarkt sell shirts , hats scarfs at good prices- fun to have a look at the food stalls and surroundings too . Not far from city center.





One tip - I understrand that the famous Hummel figures will no longer be manufactured - if a collector of these things you may want to shop for some .



several shops in the above areas have these figures.

I remember there being a lot of souvenir shops in this area underneath the Hundertwasser Haus. Something like 10 different stores, or more, with all of the typical souvenirs you could want - shirts, ornaments, steins, postcards, and so so so much more. I think if you were looking for a one-stop shop to get everything taken care of, that would be the place. They even had some stores with more unique items so it%26#39;s definitely worth taking a look.
