Most everyone recognizes that iconic movie scene where Maria (played by Julie Andrews) runs up to the top of a hill and sings loudly, “The hills are alive…with the sound of music!” (Some of us have done it ourselves a few times…) Very few movies can instantly bring up the kind of free-spirited, nostalgic feelings that scene brings. If you know someone who LOVES this movie the way we do, you’ll love the list we put together — 22 Gifts for The Sound of Music Fans!
**Update! We’ve since added even more than 22!

For Writers, Journaling Fans, Teachers
Music Quotes Pencil Set. These have quotes from one of the most popular songs in the movie. And they come in light blue and in pink. A super thoughtful, sentimental gift! (pair this with another gift, since it’s smaller – like a journal, or one of the great gifts below, or get it as a stocking stuffer.)
Sound of Music pencils. If you want a larger set of pencils, this one is also awesome!
Fun Sound of Music Shirt
Von Trapp family shirt. We LOVE this! We can’t give it enough stars. Any fan of the movie will absolutely adore it. It’ll be a definite conversation piece wherever she goes.

For Jewelry Lovers
Mountain necklace. Climb Every Mountain is a one of the more memorable songs in the musical, where the nuns are encouraging Maria to search for her dreams. This would be a beautiful gift to give if you know someone who needs encouragement reaching for their dreams, or for a high school or college graduate.
Mountain heart necklace. A subtle moutain and heart are the perfect way to tell her you love and you believe she’ll make it over every mountain!

The Sound of Music Companion. This review says it all: “The Sound of Music Companion is a beautiful, extensive coffee-table book full of fun facts and interesting, little-known details about the von Trapp family, the Broadway musical, and of course the beloved movie.” –San Francisco Book Review

How did they learn the songs and dances for the musical numbers? Who almost drowned when the boat tipped over? What was it like to attend the gala Hollywood premiere? What were their lives like after starring in this legendary movie? And how did they become a family in real life, remaining as close as any brothers and sisters for the last 45 years?” Although most of these are used, sift through to locate one that says it’s in good condition. (Be sure to also check the seller’s ratings and comments before buying it used.) What a surprise this gift would be!
