I've been going to a half dozen museums or so the last couple years. I try to spend at least $50 bucks per visit. This helps the museum out. My #1 item is a white, collared polo/golf shirt with the museum logo. 2) Books , autobiographies signed by the veteran or at least the author. 3) Hoodies or other clothees for the wife and kids. 4) Patches.
As far as models, the authentic , small scale, already completed seem to be the most popular. Apache helicopters, F-16s but something that is what they fly at the nearest air base. Another item that would do well is travel mugs and travel water bottles with the museums logo or aircraft on it. Soccer moms and grisly old vets both like to take a drink with them in the car.

IMHO the gift shop at Pensacola NNAM is the perfect model of an aviation gift shop. I spend a great deal of time in it, and always come away with something. Last time it was a history of small naval combatants (ships/boats).


So is the one at the NMUSAF in Dayton, I love the books.

Similar to what some have mentioned, I go for the polo shirts with the museum logo as my office is business casual and they fit the bill.
