1. Nellie Bly Tote Bag

Leave the house feeling fierce with this Nellie Bly Tote Bag ($18.95) under your arm. A quote from the pioneering female journalist on the tote reads: “Energy rightly applied and directed will accomplish anything,” and that’s the sort of energy we all need to embrace right now. Find it at the Heinz History Center’s gift shop, and check out the exhibit “A Woman’s Place: How Women Shaped Pittsburgh,” featuring Bly’s story and much more, extended through Jan. 20, while you’re there.

2. Pittsburgh Phone Holder

Phone holders are practical, no doubt, but they can also be beautifully crafted if you look in the right places. Wendell August Forge’s Pittsburgh Phone Holder ($38) can even be engraved for an extra personal touch.

3. Pittsburgh Skyline Wall Art

Made from recycled steel, this Pittsburgh Skyline Wall Art ($82) is perfect for anyone who holds the ’Burgh in a special place in their heart. It’s crafted by Keystone Steel Co., a locally owned and women-owned business.

4. Pittsburgh Puzzle

We love this 1,000-piece Pittsburgh puzzle ($32) created by Birdie Puzzles, a sustainably focused, made-in-the-USA puzzle company. Available at several local stores, this puzzle features notable landmarks around the confluence and even one notable rubber duck floating down the river.

5. Yinzer Playing Cards

There are few things more Yinzer than a pack of playing cards illustrated by Rob Rogers featuring Sophie Masloff as the queen of hearts. Yinzer Playing Cards ($9.99) from Yinzer Brands are available at Pittsburgh-area Giant Eagle and Market District stores. A portion of the sales will go to Band Together Pittsburgh, a Blawnox nonprofit that uses music to inspire and enrich the lives of those on the autism spectrum.
