 Great Gift Ideas from Across the Lone Star State 


We’ve shopped across the state to find these authentic Texas Gifts. Enjoy! We think you’ll agree, we’re a whole other country!

 
BARBEQUE

BBQ in Texas is as serious as a broken spoke on the chuck wagon. At the County Line, a landmark in Texas, they encourage you to “get it all over ya”. Beef ribs are a rarity, but you can find them here. Order ribs, chicken, sausage, party platters and the epic County Line BBQ sauce all for next day delivery. County Line sends their “barbeque fix” all over the country.

ROASTED RASPBERRY CHIPOTLE SAUCE
Fischer & Wieser is a small specialty food company based in Fredericksburg, Texas and has been making gourmet products, one jar at a time, for 34 years.

SMOKED BEEF TENDERLOIN
Since 1995, the Perini Ranch Mesquite Smoked Peppered Beef Tenderloin has been a real taste of Texas! Texas Monthly, Forbes FYI and The New York Times thought so highly of it, they named it their Mail Order Gift of the Year in 1995!

 
TAMALES

Because the preparation of the tamale is so labor intensive, it has become associated with special occasions and holidays. Masa, chicken, cheese and sauce wrapped in a corn husk and steamed to perfection (makes my mouth water just thinking about it). Pedro’s Tamales in Lubbock, Texas ships all over the world!


 
TEXAS WILDFLOWERS

Bring a little bit of Texas to your doorstep with wildflowers that grace the highways and backroads of Texas. Send bluebonnet seeds to a displaced Texan longing for spring in the Hill Country.
