Looking to give holiday gifts this year that are all about Alabama? Your choices go far beyond the traditional team gear.

Check out the online and retail shops at Alabama’s many museums, and area convention and visitor bureaus, and you’ll find gifts galore that range from the cultural and historical, to the downright kitschy.

At the Anniston Museum of Natural History, for example, you can pick up a popular “Alabama Dirt Shirt.” As the name implies, the ochre-tinged, 100 percent cotton shirt is dyed using Alabama red clay.

The gift shop at Vulcan Park and Museum, located atop Red Mountain in Birmingham, also carries the dirt shirts, along with another clothing flavor – the “Sweet Tea Shirt.” Connie Richards, with Vulcan Park visitor services, said while both shirts are hot sellers, gifts that feature Vulcan himself attract much of the attention. She said the gift shop offers four different sized replicas of the iron man, including one with a bobble head and bobble “buns.” You can also find at the shop a handsome, pewter Vulcan wine stop to keep your holiday beverages from spilling over.

Negro League baseball paraphernalia and books are some of the hot items at the gift shop of the Birmingham Civil Rights Institute, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the state. It’s also a great source for books and other items that tell the history of the civil rights movement, and the important figures that helped change Birmingham and the nation. Indeed, one of the most popular items, said Carolyn Cunningham, gift shop manager, is a paperback book that contains the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech and his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.”

This year, the institute also is offering replicas of the Congressional Gold Medal presented posthumously in September to the four little girls who were killed 50 years ago in the bombing of Birmingham’s Sixteenth Street Baptist Church.

Down in Dothan, known as the Peanut Capital of Alabama, the city’s Convention and Visitors Bureau does a brisk business selling golden peanut ornaments and “Peanut Beanies,” says Carmen Bishop, the bureau’s director. The bureau doesn’t offer online purchasing, but you can find the peanuty gifts at their office on Ross Clark Circle.

And if your gift list must include sports-related items, check out the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame gift shop, where a variety of clothes, toys and other stocking stuffers are available for purchase.

Many more museums around the state offer gifts that can help you say “Alabama” for the holidays. And your purchases help support their educational missions, as well. You can find more museum options at the state of Alabama’s official travel website.
