Gift Ideas for Veterans

With 10% of the adult population of the United States or around 19 million people, being veterans of our armed forces, there are plenty of deserving, selfless people who could use a little love and gratitude for their service this year. Whether you’re looking for Veterans Day gifts, Memorial Day gifts, or birthday gifts for a loved one or friend that’s a veteran; we have what you need.

Use our helpful list of gift ideas for veterans below to find the perfect gift for the veterans in your life:

1. Man Crates

You’ll find everything a man could possibly want in a gift in these crates. Some of the most popular range from a Grill Master crate to an Exotic Meats crate and more. Prices range from $29.99 to $100+.

2. BREO Box

Great for men or women, this box is hand-curated, is delivered quarterly, and is filled with 5-8 of the coolest and latest tech, home goods, fitness, and lifestyle products. You can choose to gift up to 4 seasons with one box delivered per season.

3. The Original Whiskey Bullet

These bullets are the perfect complement for any craft cocktail or a delicious drink. They’re made of easy-to-clean stainless steel and designed to cool your drink without the dilution that melting ice causes. Just chill them in the freezer, and then pop them in your drink. Each order comes with six individual bullets.

4. Black Rifle Coffee Subscription

This is a great gift idea for veterans that love coffee; you can’t go wrong with a monthly coffee subscription. You especially can’t go wrong with a monthly coffee subscription from a veteran-owned coffee company. Black Rifle Coffee is serving premium coffee grown in Colombia and Brazil and roasted in Utah and Tennessee at a reasonable price. Give the gift of a 3, 6, or 12-month subscription.

5. Assignment/Deployment Map

This map can be especially interesting if the veteran in your life has spent a lot of time moving from base to base during their time in the service. Like a scratch lottery card, your loved one can reveal each country and state they have been stationed in by scratching off the top layer of color.

6. Exercise and Active Gear

Although veterans have the absolute right to relax and settle into a new lifestyle, humans are creatures of habit, and many veterans continue to live the lifestyle they lived during active duty. Give those people something that will make their time in the gym, bike, or out on the trail more enjoyable or efficient.

7. Camping Gear

Camping gear is a great gift idea for veterans in your life that are active outdoors and like to get out of the city. Get them something new to take on their next camping trips, like a new lightweight hiking backpack or compact camp shovel can make a massive difference while out in the wilderness, and they’ll appreciate it while they’re out there.

8. Fishing and Hunting Gear

Much like camping, getting out and enjoying the peaceful wilderness while fishing or hunting can be hugely beneficial for your mental and physical health. By removing yourself from the daily stressors of your everyday life, you can relax, reset, and reprioritize what’s important. Get your loved one back out in the woods or on the river with some new gear.

9. Donate

One of the best ways to show a veteran you care is by donating to a charity that helps veterans or active-duty service members in one way or another. One fantastic organization, the Wounded Project, provides rehabilitation, activities, and career counseling for our nation’s wounded warriors and their families. Another example and option is Homes For Our Troops which builds and donates specially adapted custom homes nationwide for severely injured post 9/11 veterans so they can rebuild their lives. The Adaptive Training Foundation provides access and inclusion to individuals living with physical or traumatic impairments by empowering them through exercise and community.

10. CBD for Veterans (products and gift card, veterans discount)

CBD has been shown to have many possible benefits for veterans. CBD has been shown to influence receptors in our brains that relate to memory and emotions. CBD has also been shown to help people improve sleeping patterns while reducing occasional anxiety and stress. Get the veteran in your life a Charlotte’s Web gift card so that they can pair it with the 15% veterans discount we offer and get exactly what they want.

Veterans deserve our thanks for the sacrifices they have made for our country and the freedom our country provides. Hopefully, the list above has given you an idea or two so you can show the veteran in your life just how appreciative and thankful you are for them and their service.
