What Are the Best University of the Pacific Gifts for Christmas 2026?
Shopping for a University of the Pacific student, an alum who still talks about Stockton, a Pacific mom or dad, or a Tigers fan who already owns every logo shirt? This University of the Pacific Christmas gift guide rounds up 11 UOP gifts, from a $9.98 pin to a $124.98 planter, plus the membership that lowers the price of all of them. Every price is listed twice, once for non-members and once for ZC Nation members, so you can see what a gift costs either way. Several of these designs are sold only by Zeus Collegiate, so you will not find them at the University of the Pacific bookstore.
1. Burns Tower Ornament — Every Legacy Deserves a Place on Your Tree
Best for: University of the Pacific alumni, new graduates, Stockton natives
This is the University of the Pacific Christmas ornament that was missing from your tree.

It comes in two sizes, 3 in. and 4.5 in., and two finishes, classic white and pearlescent shimmer, so it works as a small accent or a centerpiece. It is exclusively designed by Zeus Collegiate and ships in 4 to 7 business days.
🎄 A Pacific gift that comes out of the box every December. This is a limited run and ornaments are final sale, so choose the size and finish you want.

Best for: University of the Pacific history buffs, students, alumni and anyone who likes a design with a point of view
Pacific was founded in 1851, which makes it California’s first university, and this design says so with a straight face and a foam finger.

The crewneck is a soft midweight fleece, 80% ring-spun cotton and 20% polyester, in Clay, Sand and White.
