Christmas Gifts for Texans Living Out of State
They left Texas. Texas didn't leave them. Send the part they miss most.
Ask a Texan who moved away what they miss, and the answer is rarely the weather. It's the brisket, the Beaver Nuggets on a road trip, the pecan pie at Christmas. That's your gift.
The short answer: pick the one flavor they talk about most and build the gift around it. BBQ people get Texas rubs and sauces. Buc-ee's people get Beaver Nuggets. Pecan people get pecan pie and pecan coffee. Homesick people get Texas comfort food. Every order ships free to US mainland addresses.
For the one who misses Texas comfort food
If they're homesick in general, send dinner. Texas Christmas Comforts packs the makings of a chili-and-cornbread supper with bold Texas snacks and Lone Star keepsakes in a Texas flag tin. It's the closest thing to a Texas kitchen you can put in a box.

For the one who misses Texas pecans
Pecan pie at Christmas is a Texas tradition for a lot of families, and the pecan is the state tree. The Texas Pecan Trio Box brings a mini bourbon pecan pie, a pecan sampler, and pecan coffee together in one Christmas box.
Know exactly what they miss? Build it yourself
If they have one specific salsa, jerky, or hot sauce they can't find where they live, build the gift around it. Start with a container from our Create Your Own Christmas collection and choose every item inside. Our guide to building a custom Texas gift walks through it.
Make the card count
For someone far from home, the message matters as much as the food. Skip "Merry Christmas" alone and write something only you would say: the restaurant you'll hit when they visit, the road trip you took, the inside joke. You can add your message at checkout.
Shipping to another state
Every order ships free to US mainland addresses by UPS Ground.
