The Ideal Texas Souvenirs For Bringing Back

By Andrea Davidson


The first thing that relatives and friends ask people who are travelling is to bring back with them some souvenirs. Therefore, any tourist going on a vacation to Texas is expected to come back with several amazing souvenirs in order to please everyone. This article will outline some of the most unique Texas souvenirs to purchase while on a visit there.

A most popular gift is a shirt that bears the name of the state. Irrespective of whether it is a jersey or merely a plain T-shirt, there are many people who for a variety of reasons cannot travel, hence cannot get the opportunity to purchase this kind of merchandise. There are several other items that contain the name of the state on them, such as salt and pepper shakers, ashtrays and plates, and can be very popular gifts. Shops are laden with plates, scarves, hats, bandannas together with other things containing the state name.

However, the gifts do not necessarily have to bear the name Texas. It can have the picture of something that is a trademark to the state, a one-time event, or the name of a famed town such as El Paso. When travelling to the state, one can take pictures of Corpus Christi, the Astrodome in Houston, The Alamo as well as any other historic site.

Brochures from Texas depicting local events, specified tours, special concerts and attractions of the area can be ideal for items of scrap books. In addition, books with topics that discuss the state, menus, newspaper copies, ticket stubs and receipts gotten from local purchases are also good gift ideas. Small collectibles bearing pictures of state maps, large stars, or other popular emblems unique to the state are one-of-a-kind gifts for virtually everybody. Examples of these collectibles are magnets, key rings, tea mugs, bumper stickers, small flags and book markers.

The state is known to serve a wide range of spicy foods. Therefore, gift baskets made up of Texan cuisine, southern salsa, chili mix, barbecue and hot sauce can form nice gifts for any person who loves eating them.

Stuffed dolls and animals clad in Texan garb are good souvenirs for children. Candy bars having Texan wrappers, backpacks with a state flag, as well as bean bags with colors of the state are also very popular with kids. One-of-a-kind gifts such as sunglasses with the shape of the area, Texan toilet papers, beer can clocks, and plaques with Texan sayings are rare and whimsical. An ordinary person is unlikely to find such items anywhere else. Things that cannot be found anywhere else across the globe are definitely ideal gifts.

There are many souvenir shops in the state, meaning that it is possible to find different items in such shops. Samples of such unique items stocked in such shops include pillows, clocks, ceramic boots, license plates, playing cards, rugs, desk sets, address books, figurines, rattlesnake rattles and totes.

Some friends or relatives may seemingly have everything. The best Texas souvenirs for such persons include Texan coins from way back in the 1800s, trailer hitch caps or stuffed armadillos. These gifts are expensive but recipients will definitely appreciate them.
