Follow our guide for holiday shopping at Trail Mix Peninsula. Find park-inspired gifts for the nature enthusiasts on your list. Plus, proceeds directly support Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP)!
The Cuyahoga River is at the heart of CVNP, and its recovery is inspiring. For CVNP fans who love this park and the river that runs through it, gift them with apparel in hues of blue from Trail Mix. And check out our wide selection of gifts featuring native species that have rebounded alongside the restored river, including bald eagles, beavers, and otters!
Iconic Idea:
The Station Road Bridge Trailhead is a destination for park visitors who enjoy nature, history, and scenic views of the Cuyahoga River. Celebrate the river with a keepsake ornament depicting this iconic area!
CVNP’s 33,000 acres of parkland includes vast woodlands, rolling hills, and tree-lined meadows. For the adventurers on your list, encourage exploration with a trail guide, journal, and cozy layers—hoodies, half-zips, hats, and more. Go the extra mile with a handcrafted walking stick (sold in store) and CVNP hiking staff medallion!
Refreshing Idea:
Bring the fresh smell of CVNP’s forests home with this pine needle scented candle. It’s a thoughtful reminder of time spent on a favorite woodland trail!
Create merry memories together—at grandmother’s or any holiday house you visit this season. Family and friends will love our park-themed puzzles, games, and activities, perfect for chilly winter evenings or snowy days. And our park mugs are ideal for anyone who loves to gather by the fire with a cup of coffee or cocoa. Add a pair of cozy socks, and the scene is set!
Heirloom Idea:
Cuyahoga Valley recently joined the ranks of national parks across the country with a Pendleton blanket honoring the park’s rugged spirit and natural beauty. Its hand-selected colors reflect the park’s distinctive character—resplendent forests through the seasons, sweeping vistas, and the revitalized Cuyahoga River. This is a special heirloom-quality gift for anyone who loves CVNP!
