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 the state that depict specific tours, local events, special concerts, area attractions and the likes can create ideal items for scrap books. Similarly, ticket stubs, newspaper copies, menus, receipts from local purchase, and books covering topics about the area. Small collectibles such as pictures of the state map, a large star, as well as other well-known Texan emblems are notable gifts for almost everyone. The collectibles may include tiny flags, key rings, magnets, bumper stickers, book markers and coffee mugs.

There are a number of spicy foods that the state is known to serve. Gift baskets containing Texan cuisine, chili mix, salsa from the south, hot sauce and barbecue sauce are nice souvenirs or gifts for anyone who loves to eat them.

For kids, animals bearing Texan garb as well as stuffed dolls are recommended. In addition, candy bars bound with Texan wrappers, bean bags with state color decorations together with backpacks with state flags printed on them are also kids favorites. Distinct gifts like sunglasses in Texas shape, Texan toilet papers, plaques printed with Texan sayings and beer can clocks are uncommon as well as whimsical. Not many people can find such items outside Texas. And such gifts that cannot be found anywhere else in the world are definitely ideal souvenirs.

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.
