We're big proponents of double-duty gifting, and the Golden Gate National Park Conservancy has got it down with its cool selection of Bay Area-centric goodies that also support the organization's mission. That is, to preserve the Golden Gate National Parks, enhance the visitor experience and build community. As for the gifts themselves: We want them all.
Find a whole selection of Golden Gate Bridge goodies (foggy snow globes, book ends, mugs, tape dispensers, ornaments) and eye-catching prints, totes, hats and more featuring your favorite parks, i.e. Crissy Field, Alcatraz, The Presidio, Muir Woods, Marin Headlands, etc. Yep, there's something for everyone—toys and books to kitchen and home décor items to clothing, accessories, stationery and collectibles.
