Longhorn, olive wood and whiskey gifts

Not every Houstonian is a rodeo fan, but plenty bleed burnt orange or keep a bottle of bourbon on the counter.

How to choose

  • Rodeo fan: glasses for a small gift, a boot jack or serving tray for a big one.
  • Longhorns fan: the ornament is an easy add-on; the boot jack and tray are the bigger pieces.
  • Home cook or host: a Texas-shaped board or an olive wood board with the family name. See our olive wood care guide to include with it.
  • Whiskey drinker: an engraved glass, or a pair with a bottle opener. More in our drinkware collection.
  • Office or client list: one item for everyone keeps it simple and triggers the 5+ discount.

How to order

  1. Open the product and pick your options, such as style, size or engraving sides.
  2. Type the name, initials or date and check the live preview where the listing offers one.
  3. Add it to the cart. Ordering 5 or more of the same item takes 5% to 15% off automatically.

What is a unique gift for a Houstonian?

A boot jack engraved with their name or initials, a Texas-shaped board with the family name, or coasters cut from West Texas mesquite (from $24.99). They are useful, and they are not something most people already own.

Can a Houston company order engraved Christmas gifts in bulk?
