Whenever we travel, we try to do our best to keep a record of everything we have done and seen throughout our trip. The way we strive for this is to take a lot of photos and buy souvenirs, and nothing can come close to souvenirs in Texas.
This sounds like a bold statement, given that there are forty-nine other states that will ask for the difference, as well as whole goals, whose souvenirs are pretty impressive. But for some reason, souvenirs from a trip to Texas have an aura about them simply because they are from the state of Lone Star.
Some may feel that a souvenir from Texas may be a little on the nose (I think rattlesnakes, armadillos, cacti and horseshoes). Again, this may be the point, right? In any case, it all sounds great, until you realize that 1) you have to get this stuff home in one piece; and 2) either you or someone should be able to find a place in your home for your new keepsake. Considering that most of us do not live on rural ranches, brushing the countryside, this may be more difficult than you understood.
However, there are many other souvenirs that come from Texas that help dispel the myth of Texas, the land of cowboys and rough trails. In fact, in Texas there are many amazing things to offer a traveler who wants to make a splash back home.
Here are five souvenirs in Texas that you will love:
Cowboy hat “Of course it’s a bit of kitsch, but a good good quality cowboy hat in Texas has been well established over the years.”
Barbecue seasoning and accessories - For Texans, barbecue starts and ends in Texas. While other areas of the country have their own style and loyalty, nothing compares to a Texas barbecue. By picking up some spice herbs for a barbecue fan in your life, you can simply understand that they are not doing the barbecue.
Spicy sauce “Although it may be directly influenced by the Mexican cuisine, hot sauce is really big business in Texas.” There's also a big push between some manufacturers to make the hottest gravy on the market. The idea is that Texans can go through a serious heat wave.
Textile wine - The production of wine in Texas is not something new, and in recent years their production has earned respect all over the world.
Texas Olive Oil - Along with the excellent quality of its vines, olive oil production in Texas has flourished for a number of years, and with great attention to local quality production, olive oil from Texas is going to take the culinary world by storm,
Texas souvenirs can be almost anything that comes from this large state. Just remember that instead of souvenir shops of trinkets that have settled in a rare box in your home, you can really make someone's holiday bright by thinking a little about yourself.
