Texas gift ideas for large budgets
#1 Texas decor wine cork map
Maps of your favorite place always make great gifts, but what makes this gift one of the best Texas gift ideas, is the fact that it is composed of wine corks!
Yeah, that’s right. Every time they open a wine bottle, they can pop the cork on the map. And by the end of the week (depending on how much wine they drink of course 😉) they will have a super cool Texas state wine cork map!
And thanks to your awesome gift, they have a good excuse to be drinking wine, which they will be very thankful for of course.
#2 Texas decor beer cap map
Are you looking for gifts for Texans? Did you really like the last gift, but is your recipient more of a beer person? Well, in that case, I have found another awesome gift for you
It’s another map-inspired gift, but this time you don’t put the corks in it, but beer caps!
#3 Texas map cheese board
Another awesome map-inspired Texas gift is this cheese board in the shape of Texas. Another cool gift for Texans who moved out of state and would love to be reminded of Texas when they serve cheese!
Plus for cheese and Texas lovers, this gift combines two of their favorite things!
#4 Texas gift basket
This Texan food basket is the most perfect gift for Texans who moved away and who are missing Texan food!
The box includes:
- Cornucopia popcorn
- Siete chip
- Rambler sparkling water
- Lammes chewie pralines
- Madhu Chocolate bar
- AustiNuts Lonestar Mix
- Thunderbird Texas Maple Pecan bar
- Austin Honey
It’s the complete box of everything Texans abroad are missing.
#5 Texas cowboy boots
Are you looking for original gifts from Texas? What about these classic Texan cowboy boots?
It may be one of the most expensive Texas gifts on this list, but I would say it is well worth it. The boots are cool and of high quality, so at least they will enjoy your gift for many years to come. Or check out Amazon for cheaper alternatives.
#6 Fun Texad apparel
Which Texan fan wouldn’t want to show a bit of love through their clothing?
It’s one of the best Texas-themed gifts that work great for locals as well as out-of-towners who just love the Lone Star state.
Check out Etsy to find shirts, hoodies, and more in all shapes and sizes, or go for this oversized hoodie.
#7 Texas national flower pain kit
Yes, there are many Texas map gifts on this list, I know. But I can’t help it that all these gifts are just so cool, unique, and in this case also really unique. It’s a watercolor paint kit with the national flower of Texas. It’s one of the best gifts for someone moving to Texas or moving out. I mean, which Texan wouldn’t want to paint their beloved state?
#8 Texas city skyline glasses
The photo may be misleading because obviously, these are not skylines of Texan cities. But before you discard this gift, you can pick glasses like these from Texan cities too!
You can pick the skyline of
- Dallas
- San Antonio
- Houston
They just didn’t have a photo of the Texan skylines, which is why I picked the other ones.
Anyways, these glasses are perfect Texas gifts for out-of-towners who would love a bit of The Lone Star state every time they drink a glass of water (or something else).
Texas gifts for mid budgets
#9 Texas State Park checklist poster
Are you looking for unique gifts for someone moving to Texas who loves nature? Or for a local Texan who loves the outdoors?
Then this checklist poster with all the state’s national parks is perfect!
They can make a bucket list of the beautiful places they still need to visit in their home state.
#10 Texas pecan gifts
In case you are wondering what makes pecans typical gifts from Texas, the pecan tree is their national state tree. And Texas is the number one producer of pecans in the US, which explains why Texas pecan gifts, such as this box of chewy pecan candy, work great for Texas fans and food lovers.
#11 Texas food gifts: The Austin cookbook
This Austin cookbook is one the best Texas gift ideas for Texans who moved out of state and miss the taste of home! Or for Texas fans who recently visited and are just missing the taste of Texan food. From Texan chili to typical Texan bbq spices, tacos, and Tex-Mex. You can find all typical southern and Texan recipes in this cookbook.
And a big bonus, it means that you will be able to try a bit of Texan food too! (Well, if they prepare a meal from the book for you of course).
#12 Texas cutting board
This is another one of the awesome Texas gift ideas for people who love Texas and who love to cook;
A Texas-inspired cutting board.
I am sure that cutting will become one of their favorite things to do!
#13 Texas jigsaw puzzle
Do you need gifts for someone who loves jigsaw puzzles?

#14 Texas ice cube molds
This is a great gift for Texans who love their drinks icy cold! They can get ice cubes in the shape of Texas!
How cool for a Texan who moved out of state to be able to think of their home state each time they add some ice to their drinks? Thinking of Texas while they’re sipping their whisky on the rocks, who wouldn’t want that?

Then this insulated tumbler with straw is perfect!
Or check out amazon for more University of Texas gifts.
#18 The definitive guide to being a Texan
Okay, this may not be one of the best gifts for Texans, because I will assume they already know how to be a Texan. But for people who simply love Texas or someone who is going there soon, this is the best book you can get them.
The definitive guide to being a Texan will teach how to speak, walk, dress, and be more like a real Texan. That way they will have no trouble blending in and making themselves at home in Texas. Before you know it, they will even greet their non-Texan friends with a “what’s up y’all”!
#19 Texas hot sauce gift set
If you are looking for Texas food gifts for people who do not like to cook (and so the Austin cookbook will not make them happy), this set of Texas Pete hot sauce is the perfect alternative!
They don’t have to prepare any meal to have a taste of home, with your awesome Texas gift they just have to open the bottle, pour some sauce, close their eyes, and for a moment it will feel as if they are back home!
Oh, and of course, this is also a great Texas gift idea for someone who is not from Texas, but loves Texan food, or just spicy food. Though, in case you are looking for gifts for chili lovers, I recommend you check out my gift guide for those!
