Ho Ho Ho Y’all! A Very Texas Christmas Gift Guide 2024

This year for Christmas, I'm hopping on a plane to see my family- who live thousands of miles away from Texas.

I've been on the hunt for great Texas-themed gifts to bring to them, so it occurred to me I might not be alone on this quest.

I sought advice from friends and fellow Texans on the sources for the best Texas gifts and they provided me with excellent answers.

Every item on the list is from a Texas company (or in the case of the Texas State Capitol Gift Shop- a Texas cultural entity) and all have Texas themes.

The items range from delicious foods and drinks to cute kids' items, and elegant jewelry to top-of-the-line coolers. And plenty in between.

Another criterion I had for this list was that the item had to be available for purchase online and able to ship to your loved ones, friends, or clients.

Only one gift card wiggled its way onto the list, but you'll know why as soon as you see it.

The prices on these items range from under $20 (perfect for White Elephant gifts or stocking stuffers) to one very bougie item that is $3550- in case you need to show someone that you really care.

You can also feel good about supporting Texas brands and the Texas folks who work there by buying Texas.

Some of these companies are huge (like Dr. Pepper) while others are still mom-and-pop operations that feel the positive impact of every purchase.

Happy shopping, and if you gift yourself a thing or two, who could judge you? I think I need that Texas waffle iron, after all.
