Many people love the St. Croix River, and many people give gifts this time of year to show their love. Here is an incomplete list of gift options and ideas scoured for all corners of the watershed and the internet.

Note: Some links may be subject to affiliate programs which could provide revenue for St. Croix 360. Some organizations, individuals, and businesses may include the site’s supporters, clients, and friends.

Charitable donations

One of the best ways to show your love for the river is a gift membership or other support for a number of nonprofits that help protect it. Individual donors and volunteers are the lifeblood of many St. Croix Valley institutions.
