Texas gifts should be from Texas.

Editor’s note: The most wonderful time of year is almost here and who doesn’t want to be the gift giver that everyone remembers? But gift giving’s hard, and everyone could use a little help. With that in mind, PaperCity is rolling through its 2026 Gift Guide Series. Expect anything but the usual gifts, and categories built around the quest of living your very best life.

The fashion, entertainment and lifestyle worlds are finally catching up to what Texans have always known: Our way of life is something special. Whether you’re shopping for cowboy boots, hats, or other Western-inspired gifts, accept no imitations. Texas roots mean something here, and these gifts bring Lone Star State authenticity and uncompromising craftsmanship to everyone on your holiday shopping list.

These are the Best Texas Holiday Gifts:

A Limited-Edition Houston Rodeo Scarf

With the 2027 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo just around the corner, you can give the gift of rodeo flair with this limited-edition silk scarf from jewelry designer Christina Greene and Saturday Silks. Featuring hand-rolled edges and midnight cowboy-inspired designs, the $205 luxury accessory can complement a go-to look or be worn as a conversation-starting scarf.

Legendary Hatmaking

Celebrate a century of Texas cowboy culture with A Century Beneath the Brim, a commemorative coffee-table book honoring the 100th anniversary of Resistol, the legendary Dallas-founded hatmaker. The 254-page, $79.99 volume features archival imagery, original photography, and stories exploring the people, traditions, and craftsmanship behind one of Texas’ most iconic Western brands.

One-of-a-Kind Turquoise Jewelry

A solid set of turquoise pieces should anchor any Western jewelry collection. With locations in the Fort Worth Stockyards and Stephenville, Turquoise & Co. owner Mallory Blair sources distinctive jewelry from Native American artisans, including statement necklaces, sterling silver cuffs, and other handcrafted works.

Lucchese Women’s Riding Collection

English riding styles are a natural extension of the horse girl aesthetic, which emphasizes quiet luxury, versatility, and a connection to equestrian traditions. Texas bootmaker Lucchese embraces the trend with its new Women’s Riding Collection, blending 143 years of craftsmanship with the timeless elegance of English equestrian fashion.

The silhouettes are equally at home at a cocktail party or barn.

A Taste of Texas

Earlier this year, Austin-based Lammes Candies announced its closure, which prompted Fort Worth developers Kayla Wilkie-Kinne and Craig Cavileer to acquire the 141-year-old company and preserve its popular confections for future generations. You can share the company’s popular holiday mints, iconic Texas Chewie Pecan Pralines, and other sweet delights.

Just don’t forget to save a few boxes for yourself.

A Texas Steakhouse Classic

Looking to impress that special chef or aspiring pitmaster in your life? Treat them to a Perini Ranch cookbook and peppered beef tenderloin combo available through Neiman Marcus. The $330 gift set brings insights and recipes from the legendary Buffalo Gap steakhouse, which earned a James Beard America’s Classics Award in 2014.

The 2.5-pound tenderloin feeds six to eight, while the book offers a lifetime of award-winning recipes.
