Flowers are one of the most popular—and the most fleeting—romantic gifts. But your bouquet’s lifespan doesn’t have to be limited this year! The Bobcat Store is proud to partner with Athens’ very own Passion Works Studio, offering a variety of OHIO-themed green and white paper flowers and metal Passion flowers. Choose from a bouquet of three flowers, a single stemmed flower or a hanging wall flower to add a dash of OHIO pride to your home décor.

Nothing triggers OHIO nostalgia quite like an Athens Block. Luckily, The Bobcat Store offers an assortment of Athens Block-branded items and an opportunity to bring the beloved bricks to your home or office. The Athens Block vase is ideal for holding your Passion Works flower bouquet, and the Athens Block cheese board pairs perfectly with your OHIO stemless wine glasses.

Whether you’re celebrating that special day with a bubbly glass of champagne or a simple glass of wine, The Bobcat Store has an assortment of barware to suit everyone’s taste. Champagne flutes, stemless wine glasses, pint glasses and more are adorned with an opaque OHIO logo. (Bobcat paw print on the rocks glasses are optional, but encouraged!)

Looking to add a bit of Bobcat flair to your wardrobe? Choose from a variety of Ohio University-inspired jewelery, including Keith Chapman’s Rufus enamel earrings, OHIO alumna Michelle Turk’s glass paw bracelet or Cornwell Jewelers’ classic paw disc necklace. You can’t go wrong with any of these choices!
