Anything from Daylight Sales.
Daylight sales produces high quality railroad merchandise that is sure to please any railfan in your life. They sell apparel, mugs, (I know I would love to have my morning coffee in a railroad mug), cups, mousepads and more, all for reasonable prices. I own quite a few products from daylight sales(including the mug I’m currently having my coffee in, and the mousepad I’m using) and have found them to be well designed, and creative.

12 Month Subscription to Trains Magazine
By gifting a 12 month magazine subscription, they will not only be thankful for your thoughtful gift once, but 12 times a year.
