After months of sleuthing–and with a little help from our readers to help us cast the broadest net “from San Saba to San Antonio,” we’re here to give you a list of our favorite Texas Hill Country gift items!

We started our search for the best collection of beautiful, affordable items to give (or get) months ago, paying close attention to select businesses rooted in the Hill Country region.
We focused, too, on businesses with an Instagram presence because, like you, we’re busy and like to get a quick overview of what a company or individual sells. After all, sometimes one item sparks your interest but if you dig a little deeper you find something you like even more. Thus, our guide is meant to be a jumping off point for sugarplum daydreams. (You’ll find the folks listed here featured in our own Instagram profile until Christmas!)
Note, too, that some of the folks on our list have appeared in our website or feeds before. Others are new to our platform. No one paid us to make this list–or see their name on it. It’s curated solely upon our own experiences and recommendations of trusted readers.
Finally, it goes without saying that smaller businesses often run out of stock earlier than Big Box retailers, so our motto when “shopping small” is to “buy early and buy often.”
We hope you enjoy what you find below.
Happy Holidays!
