Whether I’m walking campus or attending a community event, staying hydrated is essential. The Blockade Water Bottle is rugged, reliable, and designed for life on the go - just like many of our students and alumni. It’s a practical, high-quality gift from a Nevada maker that supports sustainability and everyday adventure.

Home Means Nevada Coloring Book, Rugosa and Pine
As President of UNR, I often reflect on the landscapes and communities that make Nevada unique. This Home Means Nevada Coloring Book captures our state’s natural beauty in every page. It’s perfect for families, students, or anyone who loves Nevada’s wide-open skies and rugged terrain. A meaningful, Nevada- made gift that celebrates the place we call home.

I’m proud that local makers are crafting products that tell Nevada’s story, like the Silver Sage & Honey Nevada Tasting Bar. This tasty treat honors our state’s heritage and flavors, and it’s a great example of the creativity and craftsmanship found throughout our community. This is a perfect gift for anyone who loves Nevada as much as we do!
