Since 1991, Texas Treats has been shipping gift baskets filled with gifts and food throughout the country and the world.

Though the company has had three different owners in its 24-year history, the mission has always been the same, co-owner Jeff Henderson said.

“We’re making people happy,” he said. “When we box something, we box it like [our customer] is opening a present. … We want to make it a pleasant experience from the moment someone starts shopping on our website until the package is received.”

Henderson, who had previously worked in home-based and hospice care, said he was looking for a business that would allow him more flexibility with his schedule.

“I was tied to my phone before,” he said. “This is [a business in which] we could travel and still run the business.”

Henderson and his wife, Denise, purchased the business, which had been located in the Dallas area, in September 2014 and in March decided to move the company to Georgetown to be closer to their home.

In the company’s location near the Georgetown Municipal Airport, Henderson and his three part-time employees create custom and preselected Texas-themed gift baskets for customers including individuals and businesses.

Henderson said the company is planning to hire additional employees for the holiday season, which is its busiest time of year.

“In December we do about three month’s worth of business in three weeks,” he said.

Prices range from $9 gift bags to more than $175 for large gift baskets, he said.

Henderson said the most popular item is the $80 baskets that feature food items such as taffy, Texas-sized jellybeans, chips and assortment of salsas and dips, and the company’s best-seller is the chips and salsa. Any items can be purchased individually or in a basket, and all of the food items included in the gift baskets are made or packaged in Texas, he said.

A list of all the product brands, including Austin-based Lammes Candies, is available on the Texas Treats website.

Texas Treats also features gift items such as coasters, notepads, cookbooks, koozies and mugs. The company also offers collegiate-themed gift baskets.

“I get a lot of [products] out of Dallas, Houston and Austin and points in between,” Henderson said, adding that he is always looking for new vendors and products to add to the company’s inventory. “The previous owner’s focus was on candies. … We’re in the process of [adding] more food products.”

Henderson said he finds a lot of the Texas-based manufacturers through the Texas Department of Agriculture’s Go Texan program, which promotes the products, culture and communities of Texas.

Along with new vendors, Henderson said he is considering adding beverages, including locally made wines and beers, to his list of options.
