It is gift buying season again, so here are the best ideas for the person on your list who loves National Monuments.  This year we published Monumental America, our travel guidebook to the 138 National Monuments, so we have had those often-overlooked public lands on our minds. We previously published our Top 10 Gifts for National Park Lovers.  Click here to see all of our Top 10 Lists, including some book lists that may help you find a special gift for your favorite reader.  As always, products we have created are available under the Shop tab above. We also have a Pinterest board for National Monuments, as well as one for National Park gifts and those harder-to-find National Forest gifts.

10. Postcards

For someone who loves one of the 138 National Monuments, pick up a postcard from Anderson Design Group

9. Quarters

The U.S. Mint finished releasing its America the Beautiful series in 2021; there are books and maps highlighting all 56 quarters (and you can buy the entire set for little more than the coins’ value)

8. Phone Case

Devils Tower became the first National Monument in 1906, so why not commemorate it on the one thing you take with you everywhere?

7. Coasters

We often purchase a Lantern Press coaster from the National Park Service bookstore during our visits, but there are also sets for sale online

6. Stickers

For someone on the quest to visit all 138 National Monuments, pick up a sticker set showcasing all of them

5. Mugs

Why not recall a favorite National Monument every time you enjoy a hot beverage? Check out the options at Western National Parks Association

4. Blanket

Keep warm under a National Parks and Monuments blanket map from Nomadix

3. Posters

Artwork or photographs of our beautiful National Monuments make a great gift and there are an overwhelming number of options (try starting at Creative Action Network)

2. Clothing

T-shirts, hoodies, socks, and anything else people wear have all been emblazoned with National Monument logos and images; did you know the Statue of Liberty is a National Monument?

…and finally our #1 gift featuring National Monuments:

1. Monumental America Guidebook

Especially if your National Monuments journey is just getting started, our one-of-a-kind guidebook can help with planning the travel logistics

Honorable Mentions

Puzzles

Jigsaw puzzles had a renaissance during the pandemic and there are many National Monument options in photographs or artwork

Photo album or photo board

We passport stamp all of the “unigrid” pamphlets (like the ones Echo the Raven poses with for each NPS blog post) from the parks and collect them in a photo album (actually three since we have visited 414 of 433 units so far)
