Located inside the Vulcan Park and Museum visitor center, The Anvil is the aptly-named gift shop where you can find a gift for everyone on your holiday list. Yep, you read that right — The Anvil has locally-made goods and Birmingham-centric gifts for even the toughest person on your list. Just wait until you see the socks!
The Anvil has a much larger selection than you would generally expect from a museum gift shop. You won’t find kitsch-y throwaway knickknacks here. From Birmingham-themed t-shirts and Vulcan-themed socks to books about Birmingham beer, you’ll be covered for the holidays. Bonus: you’ll be helping to support the Vulcan Park and Museum.
Cyber Monday Shopping with Ease
You can shop a selection of the items mentioned in this article online here. Use code “CYBERMONDAY” at checkout for 30% off your order!
Give A Handmade Good
The Anvil is stocked with handmade goods. A Birmingham “dirt shirt” t-shirt made from local red clay or hat would be the perfect gift for your best friend who loves all things Birmingham and wants to support local artists. A blown-glass Vulcan ornament is a great gift for your parents or for yourself! The shop is full of handmade Earthborn pottery, Crave candles and Color the Ham coloring books.
Give A Birmingham-Themed Gift
The shop also stocks many gift options that may not be locally- or hand-made, but that are Birmingham-centric, like the Birmingham Beer book or a college-football mug. You can find Auburn, Alabama and UAB colored Vulcan socks as well as Magic City t-shirts. May we suggest a bobble-head Vulcan for the big-headed guy on your list? What about a fuzzy headed Vulcan doll for the toddler? Gifts like these are a great option for a friend who loves to visit you in Birmingham, but may not live here. That way, you can gift them a piece of Birmingham to have with them always! Who doesn’t want a little more Birmingham in their life?
Give A Membership
