A Texan’s Guide to Holiday Gifting

Thoughtful Gifts Sourced from Houston, Marfa, Austin, and Beyond

BY // 11.19.21

Gifting season is finally upon us, and what better way to avoid anxiety and supply chain limitations than by shopping Texas’ own small brands and businesses? It’s the perfect tonic to soothe holiday stress. This year’s gift guide includes splurges along with excellent finds for under $100. We have gifts for guys, little ones, and your four-legged family members. The hosts of your inner circle received their own section, which they’ve rightfully earned after months of at-home entertainment.

We hope this holiday gift guide will help you find something for a friend (or for yourself, no judgment here), and feel good knowing that you’re supporting local makers and shops that help make Texas a place we’re proud to call home — and one of the greatest places to shop.

From gifts for the host to the friend who has everything, scroll down to discover our Texas guide to holiday gifting.
