Football fans are a unique breed of people. Texas Longhorn football fans are another thing altogether. Every weekend during the football season, a sea of burnt orange fills the stadium at the University of Texas. In no other place will you find as many painted chests, foam fingers and spirited students. For a game that begins at 7:00pm, fans begin tailgating at 7:00am. Many of those same fans burn the candle at both ends as they head out to celebrate after the game long into the night. Below are some gift ideas for the faithful fans of the Longhorns. Most of these items are available for purchase at the University Co-op Bookstore.

If you’re looking for gifts for the female fan, you can start with a trendy leather hobo handbag for only $29.99. It goes without saying that this handbag features a longhorn delicately carved into the leather. If she enjoys jewelry, there is a wide range to choose from. She might like the longhorn dangle earrings which have a burnt orange bead nestled between the longhorn and the dangle. These sell for $27.99. If you’re looking to spend a little bit more, you can purchase the Fossil Watch for $80.00. This silver watch has round links to wrap around her wrist, as well as an orange face decorated with the trademark longhorn. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to attend a game, you’d see that the outfit of choice for many co-eds consists of jean skirts and boots. You can find longhorn boots for about $350, if you’re feeling generous.

For the male longhorn in your life, you can start simple with a Longhorn football jersey, which starts at only $19.99. Because football and food go hand in hand, it might be appropriate to give the recipient a Longhorn grill cover for $33.99. For the fan who spends all week as an executive, you might look towards the mascot Bevo tie, for $59.99. If your Longhorn fan is also a fan of the links, you can purchase an orange Longhorn golf bag made by Nike for $195. There are less expensive golf items available for those on a stricter budget; driver covers, golf balls, golf tees, etc.

If you’re looking to buy a gift for the diehard football family, it won’t be hard to locate the perfect item. You can start with serving platter for those game day appetizers ($23.99-$36.99) or various barware and stemware items in a variety of price ranges. Or, you help them snuggle up with an embroidered quilt throw for $69.99. Longhorn fans might like to decorate their guest room for fellow fans to feel comfortable when staying over after a late night celebration; Longhorn comforters start at $129.00. And, believe it or not, you can purchase a Longhorn football couch, to perch yourself on during the entire season, for just $849.00. 

With the holidays upon us, there are a variety of Christmas themed gifts to choose from. Start inexpensive with a choice of ornaments starting at $7.99. Orange and white lights might adorn your fan’s Christmas tree rather than the traditional Christmas lights, these can be purchased for $12.99. An orange and white Santa hat is more appropriate for Longhorn fans than a red and white hat – get yours for only $19.99. And finally, wrap that tree in style with an orange and white Longhorn tree skirt for just $49.99. That way you can place all of the above gifts on top of the festive tree skirt!
