A Variety Of Popular Texas Souvenirs

By Helene Norris


If you are visiting Texas on a holiday or are a winter Texan, you will probably want to check out the selection of Texas souvenirs. If you are a Texas resident and want to find the right gift or memento that will brighten the day of the recipient, there are many ideas and options to check. You can pick from a number of categories and budget levels.

A souvenir is an object that serves as a reminder to bring to mind an event, person or place. When you want to remember something about the State of Texas, its people, or the activities you enjoyed while visiting the Lone Star State, picking up just the right item is not a casual choice. You should match the selected item with the interests of a person who will be receiving the gift.

Texan inspired foods are a great way to remember your dining experiences while traveling in the state. Hopefully, you have enjoyed the type of chili that doesn't claim beans as a major ingredient. Barbecue sauce is a way to take the taste of this style of meal home with you. Other well-known food links include cactus, dried peppers, pecans, and chipotle.

If you are searching for items which are both useful and memorable, consider decorative key rings, mugs, coasters and place mats. Every time you pick up your car keys, you will be reminded of the time you spent in the State. Mugs and coffee cups are another popular and useful product.

A single star has been associated with memento items since as early as 1819. The current design of the "Lone Star State" flag has been used since 1839. The name may refer to the desire of many Texans during the days as a Republic, to become a state in the U. S. The alternative view is that the state was the only one under Mexican rule that insisted on the rights identified in the 1824 constitution of Mexico.

Some items sold as a souvenir are also informational. These are things like DVDs, CDs, books and magazines about the state or areas within the state. A wide range of print materials are available on the history, culture, foods and entertainment of the state. Some people who enjoy maps, might appreciate historical images of the changing boundaries.

Many times, lighthearted or humorous items best express the feelings you want to evoke. Perhaps a funny postcard is just the right items to choose as a gift. State-shaped candies or armadillo items such as banks, stuffed toys and similar products can be whimsical and suited to either children or adults.

You can select the right Texas souvenirs for every person on your gift list. There are many local stores, as well as online shops to choose from. When you know the recipient well, you will be able to choose the perfect gift. You can pick for youngsters or senior citizens and every age in between from the range of products.
