Is there anything that can be more American than a map of the USA with the colors of the flag and holes for beer caps?
Nah, I didn’t think so.

It’s a fun way to display their love for their country and their love for a cold one at the same time. Plus, it’s a great excuse to drink more beer (as if we needed one).

This mug with a map of the USA that you can color in is the perfect gift for the Fourth of July.
It’s like a scratch map from which you can drink coffee! Plus it’s a fun and interactive way to show off their love for America and mark all the states they’ve visited so far.
For outdoorsy and nature-loving people, you can also go for a mug on which they can color all the US national parks they’ve visited.
#3 Cooler with flag design
A cooler with the flag of America is the ultimate Fourth of July gift because it combines two of the greatest things in life: cold drinks and American pride.
It’s basically a portable US-themed mini-fridge that you can take anywhere, from the beach to the backyard to the parade route. It’s like the symbol of everything that makes this country great: freedom, independence, and the ability to keep your beer cold on a hot summer day.
So grab a cold one, pop it in your flag cooler, and celebrate the Fourth of July sipping in style!

No matter the occasion, or the recipient, I always love adding maps to my gift guides.
Because I think they’re beautiful and make a great piece of wall decoration for any room and home. And when it comes to Independence Day, a map to remember the country you’re celebrating is a great gift idea.

The first one (and my favorite one) is Ticket to Ride. A game in which you have to build railway tracks across the US map to gain the most points. Trust me, the game is a lot more fun than I make it sound with this awful explanation.
The second game is called Trekking The National Parks, it includes all the US national parks and the aim is to score the most points by visiting as many parks as possible.
