Military Gift Ideas

Here are a few different "merit" gifts. I buy my husband a different type of gift for things like basic training graduation, promotions, school graduations than I do for Christmas, birthdays or anniversaries.

These gifts are normally useful and practical, yet personalized and personal.

Customizable Benchmade Knife 
What guy doesn't love knives? They always seem to need or want another one. Benchmade is one of the best knives out there. This website allows you to completely customize a Benchmade knife. There are 4 different knife options. You choose the knife, the blade type, color of the knife, color of the blade. You can even have words or symbols engraved on the blade! I engraved "Stolen From (enter husband's name)" because he has lost and not had returned 2 knives now!! I also had his unit's symbol engraved on the other side. Hopefully no one will take this new one or will return it if he loses it.

Customizable Zippo Lighter
Now, my husband doesn't smoke, but it seems he always has a use for a lighter. Zippo is definitely the way to go! This website, again, allows you to customize the lighter. You can put a picture on it or have it engraved. Or both!

Challenge Coin Holder
Challenge coins are a big deal in the military. Your guy is most likely incredibly proud of the ones he's received and wants to display them. There are many different kinds of holders, and Etsy is the perfect place to find one. Many sellers will customize the coin holders.



Some other ideas include doing a Boudoir shoot with photo book, nice sport watch (G-Shock is a good option), a nice wallet, or challenge coins.
