Gifting Texas Pride: Our Favorite Pieces for Grads

When it comes to gifting, nothing beats something thoughtful, meaningful, and unmistakably Texan. At Eighteen Forty Two, we design accessories that do more than look beautiful—they celebrate identity, tradition, and the pride of where you come from.

If you're shopping for a University of Texas graduate, our pieces are designed to honor Texas roots in a way that feels elevated and timeless.


For the Graduate: A Keepsake with Meaning

Graduation is more than a milestone—it’s a launch. Give your UT grad something that marks the moment and moves with them, whether they’re heading to a new city or back to the Forty Acres for grad school.

Top Picks for Grads:

  • The Longhorn Scarf – Sophisticated and versatile, it’s a subtle nod to UT pride that pairs beautifully with career outfits and everyday looks.

  • Longhorn Pendant Necklace – Understated enough for daily wear, with just the right amount of symbolism to say: I’m proud of where I came from.

  • Bolo Tie (Yes, Really!) – For the bold graduate who wants to stand out—this piece makes a statement at grad parties and beyond.


Wrap It in Love (and a Little Texas)

All Eighteen Forty Two pieces come carefully wrapped and packaged, often by hand, often by family. Because gifts should feel personal, not mass-produced.

Want to make it extra special? Add a handwritten note at checkout—we’ll include it in your package, sealed with a little Texas charm.
