Gift Ideas for Patriots
Here are some of my personal picks for great gifts for the Patriot in your family. Some of these are excellent for all ages, some are geared more toward adults (and by that, I don't mean X-rated).
Survival Straps
These excellent bracelets are made from up to 16' of 550# military paracord, with 1.75' for every inch (wrist size) ordered. You can get them in several combinations of colors or just one solid color. The best part is that if your bracelet is unraveled in an emergency situation, the company will replace it for FREE. Cost - $19.95 (basic model - costs vary based on size and fasten accessory)
Survival Straps also sells lanyards, key rings, survival belts, and more!
Patriotic Pledge Youth T-shirt by Kerusso (NAVY)
Featuring the FULL U.S. Pledge of Allegience, this t-shirt is made from 100% pre-shrunk cotton with a no-fade design. Cost - $5.99 at CleverShoppers.com
Chainmaille Cross Charm
Crafted by hand, this chainmaille cross charm has a variety of uses. But the best part is that $1 from each cross goes to Citizen Soldiers, a charity working to end homelessness among U.S. military veterans. Cost - $6.00
You can find this and many other excellent handmade chainmaille items at FrawgzDezignz.
Deployment Ring
The idea for this ring came from a woman whose husband was deployed to Iraq (before she learned silversmithing). She purchased a ring for her husband with an inscription so that he could wear a wedding band without scuffing or marring his original band. He said that every time he took off the ring to read the inscription, it was comforting to him.
This is a unisex ring, and each is unique because they're individually made. A small phrase can be stamped into the inside of the band in block (uppercase) or script (lowercase). Cost - $65.00 through AHeronDesign.
Pillow Pets - Patriotic Pup
Pillow Pets are plush, foldable stuffed animals that are great for snuggling or sleeping! Just unfasten the band and the stuff animal becomes a pillow! They're great for sleepovers, relaxing at home, or just something to cuddle. This special edition Pillow Pet Patriotic Pup is a great purchase because $5 from the proceeds of each pet sold goes to Scholarships for Military Children. Cost - $24.95 through MyPillowPetsGives.
These are just a few of my favorite patriotic gift ideas. There are many other websites where items can be purchase. If you have any ideas for patriotic gifts, feel free to leave information in the comments section!
