2. Dipping Oils and Olive Oil Products

The Texas Hill Country Olive Company is a great business which offers something for everyone. If the recipient you’re shopping for likes to cook or have guests over to entertain, they’ll love getting dipping oils or seasonings to make a great bread dip to share. This company has a line of specialty seasonings as well as many other fantastic foodie gift ideas, all made locally.
3. Coffee From the Hill Country

The Mazama Coffee Company is located in Dripping Springs. They roast and brew in-house as well as serve up scrumptious baked goods. But, they also sell their unique coffee blends to take home (and they sell online as well.) They do college care packages, t-shirts, mugs, and of course that wonderful warm, smells-so-good coffee. So, if your recipient has a hankering for something that reminds them of home each morning, or tells them that the Texas Hill Country loves them just as much, Mazama Coffee Company might have just the ticket!
