The Perfect Texas Souvenirs To Bring Back From A Vacation

By Andrea Davidson


When people travel, the first thing that loved ones and friends want when they find out where the person is travelling to, is to bring back a souvenir. Hence, if someone is travelling to Texas, they will need to bring back a number of great souvenirs that can please everyone. Below are a few ideas on unique Texas souvenirs to buy.

A T-Shirt with the state name is one of the most popular gifts to bring back from a vacation in the area. Whether it is a jersey or a plain tee shirt, many people who for whatever reason are not able to travel simply do not get a chance to buy such type of merchandise. Other items that have the states name, such as ashtrays, plates, salt and pepper shakers, are quite popular souvenirs. Shops are usually stocked with plates, caps, scarves, pens, bandanas and other trinkets bearing the state name.

It is not a must that the gifts contain the name Texas. It can have a photo of something unique to the state, the name of a popular town like El Paso, or a onetime event that occurred in the area. When on vacation in the state, one can take photos of the Astrodome in Houston, Corpus Christi, The Alamo or other historical sites.

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.

The state is famous for serving a wide variety of spicy food. Hence, a gift basket that contains Texan chili mix, cuisine, salsa originating from the south, hot and barbecue sauce can be part of top souvenirs and gifts for any person who find them delicious.

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.

In a majority of souvenir shops, a person on vacation will get different items from those seen at a previously visited shop. Clocks, aprons, rattlesnake rattles, pillows, totes, ceramic boots, desk sets, soaps, rugs, coasters, address books, playing cards, figurines, badges or license plates are some of the unique things found from shop to shop.

Texas souvenirs for a person who seems to have everything might include genuine Texan currency from the 19th century, a stuffed armadillo or trailer hitch caps. They may be a bit expensive but will definitely be appreciated.
