The Perfect Texas Home Holiday Gift Guide

This gift guide highlights some of the best Texas-made goods to keep homes healthy, merry, and bright this holiday season. From barbecue sauce to artisan-crafted candles, there’s a little something for everyone on your list.

Clean

Soap | Fredericksburg Soap Company
Enhance any stocking with this perfect little luxury. Fredericksburg Soap Company’s assortment of suds handcrafted in the heart of the Hill Country are inspired by some of our most beloved flowers. Add a touch of Texas throughout your home with lavender and rosemary-mint salt soaps.

Home Cleaning Box | Puracy
This set includes nontoxic, plant-based cleaning products such as a natural stain remover and upholstery shampoo. The brainchild of two Austinites, this small, family-owned line is free of harsh chemicals.

Cozy

Candles | Circle 21, Chip and Joanna Gaines
Perfectly poured in recycled bottles, Amarillo’s Circle 21 Candles have made a name for themselves far and wide with their fresh, natural scents. If you’re looking for a subtle, masculine essence, Chip and Joanna Gaines have you covered with “Chip’s Saturday Candle.”

Home Garden | Magnolia Market at the Silos
Spruce up your loved ones’ homes with the ideal holiday touch. This is the perfect stop (online or in person) for loved ones with a seasoned — or blossoming — green thumb.

Warm

Carl the Snowman and Artist Collections | Kate Weiser Chocolate
Ready your favorite mugs, place Carl in a pan of milk, and turn up the heat! Stuffed with mini marshmallow and hot chocolate mix, this hand-painted snowman from Dallas chocolatier Kate Weiser slowly melts into rich, creamy hot chocolate. The beautiful Artist Collection chocolate boxes come in four sizes and assorted flavors. They truly deserve a place in a museum — but they make a great gift too.

Coffee | Noble Coyote Coffee; Caferros
Nothing brings family and friends together during the holidays quite like a cup of joe. Dallas’ Noble Coyote Coffee freshly roasts specialty blends to order. For an iconic taste, San Antonio-based Caferros’ Texas pecan blend offers a creamy and nutty flavor profile. (Even better, you can pick up at HEB.)

Glowing

Triple Berry Smoothing Peel | Renée Rouleau Skin Care
Austin-based celebrity aesthetician Renée Rouleau is responsible for some of Hollywood’s famous faces (including Texas’ own Demi Lovato). She’s bottled some of that magic in this at-home peel that exfoliates and soothes the skin. Bonus: It smells like grandma’s berry jam.

Goodies

Fruitcake | Collin Street Bakery
Don’t judge a sweet treat by its lesser counterparts. These aren’t your typical fruitcakes. Baked fresh daily in Corsicana, these holiday confections are shipped throughout the world year-round. Go with the DeLuxe Fruitcake. It’s filled with Texas pecans, honey, and Costa Rican pineapple.

Honey | Stroope Honey Farms; Round Rock Honey
Pearland’s Stroope Honey Farms offers a sweet, herbal concoction, while Round Rock Honey offers a subtle, floral taste. Drizzle these goodies over some hot, homemade biscuits or add a dab into a cup of tea.

Snacking

Barbecue Sauce | Salt Lick BBQ
Texans take this cherished condiment seriously. Give the gift of flavor from these Austin-area favorites.

Salsa | Clint’s Salsa
This state staple doubles as the perfect gift. Clint’s Salsa, based in San Antonio, offers a taste of Texas with a three-pack sampler, featuring medium, black bean and corn, and roasted serrano. Go ahead; grab a couple of jars for your pantry, too.

If you’re gifting a big-ticket item such as an engagement ring or pro-level golf clubs, make sure your perfect present is properly covered.
