#1 Alaska cork map
I absolutely love these wine cork maps! And I bet Alaska lovers and wine lovers will agree with me that this map of Alaska with cork holes is the best of both worlds.
A beautiful home decor item that reminds them of Alaska, and a reason to open up a wine bottle!
#2 Alaska beer cap map

I think they are the best gifts for someone who lives in Alaska and who also loves beer!
Again, it’s a beautiful addition to the home and a very good reason to open a beer!

Another cool map-inspired gift for someone from Alaska is this fleece blanket of Alaska. It will keep them warm during the cold winter days, ánd remind them of their beloved state.
#4 Puzzles: Alaskan gifts
If you are looking for the best Alaska gifts for travelers who can’t travel, a puzzle of the place they love the most might be a good idea to keep them occupied, while also thinking about Alaska.
You could opt for this beautiful puzzle of the volcano Mount Iliamna or the map of Alaska.
#5 Qiviut handknit gifts from Alaska
These Alaska local handmade hats and scarves may be the most expensive Alaska gift ideas on this list, but that is because it is handmade from the soft underwool from the arctic musk ox (Qiviut).
It’s a super lightweight product that’s about eight times warmer than wool, yet it’s still fine enough to produce beautiful hats and scarves.
#6 Alaska wall art
Alaska is the great land of national parks and wildlife, so a great gift for someone from Alaska is a print that shows all that.
There are many different Alaska wall art ideas on Amazon, but I personally really like this vintage style one on Amazon.
