The Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center Gift Shop offers a variety of thoughtfully selected nature-based items both to inform and as a souvenir of your visit to the Nature Center.
We offer many different and unique items with the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center logo, including t-shirts, caps, tote bags, bandanas, patches, stainless steel water bottles, lip balm, emergency flashlights, and whistles. Our Take a Hike coffee from Big Bend Coffee Roasters is the perfect addition to a CDRI logo coffee mug or metal camp cup.
Our book selection is one of the most extensive, nature-based collections in the region. We also offer nature-themed children's books, along with our javelina, jackrabbit, and coyote plush.
Members and volunteers enjoy a discount of 10% throughout the year.
