Stumped in your search for a unique gift for someone you love? Don’t want to travel to shop or give Jeff Bezos more money? redbankgreen is here to help with our seasonal feature highlighting gift suggestions from Red Bank shops and businesses.

We find ’em the old-fashioned way: walking into local shops searching for stuff that’s quintessentially Red Bank or just plain unique and fun to give or get. We’ll be popping in here again and again in the weeks leading up to Christmas to show you our finds. Here’s today’s find – and click here if you want to see the previous gift ideas.

What: 1954 Phil Rizzuto baseball card

Where: Monmouth Stamp and Coin Shop, 39 Monmouth Street

Why? Holy Cow! What Yankees fan wouldn’t be thrilled to wake up Christmas morning to find the Scooter in their stocking? Also, roaming the aisles of the Monmouth Stamp and Coin Shoppe is the perfect antidote to the cold, impersonal shopping mall/online shopping experience holiday shopping has become.

How much? $100 (or choose from thousands of cards and coins at different price ranges)

redbankgreen editor Brian Donohue may be reached via email at [email protected] or by calling or texting 848-331-8331 or yelling his name loudly as he walks by. Do you value the news coverage provided by redbankgreen? Please become a financial supporter if you haven’t already. Click here to set your own level of monthly or annual contribution.

Remember: Nothing makes a Red Bank friend happier than to hear "I saw you on Red Bank Green!"
