Unique Military Gift Ideas

If you’d like to show service members how much they mean to you, we’ve developed some unique military gift ideas to help you do just that.

Military Pins

PinMart’s?Military Pins?are not just a way to honor and celebrate service members as gifts; they’re also a statement accessory that can be worn to show off military pride. Our pins come in various themes and styles with bright, durable enamel finishes. We can also create?custom pins?to commemorate special units, service anniversaries, and other meaningful events or individuals.

Poncho Liners

In the military, poncho liners are affectionately known as woobies, and they’re a practical gift that adds warmth and protection from the elements. They’re handy whether someone is in the military or out. These are a treat for people who love outdoor activities because it’s easily portable and offers coverage when necessary.

Challenge Coins?

The United States military has a history with?challenge coins?that date back to World War I. These coins can be used to signify a branch of service, or they can be customized to create unique military gifts that can’t be found elsewhere. Our ready-to-ship coins feature officially licensed seals and lingo from each branch of the U.S. military. Challenge coins are another unique military gift idea.?

Plaques

One way to commemorate service and recognize individuals is to have a customized plaque made just for them. Designed to be displayed, they not only show your heartfelt appreciation when you give the gift, but they continue to remind the individual and others who see how vital their service to this country is.

Military Patches

Another way to wear your pride or show off your service is through a?military patch, and we have a wide variety of patches at PinMart. These patches can be sewn onto any garment to commemorate that branch of service or a specific individual. If you buy these patches in bulk, you can hand them out at Memorial Day events or other special occasions to spread the appreciation.

Have a Flag Flown Over the Capitol

You can have a?flag flown over the U.S. Capitol?in Washington D.C. in their honor and then present them with that flag. To do this, you must write to your U.S. Senator or Representative to request a flag be flown over the Capitol to honor that person. There is a fee for this, and each representative sets it, so the prices can vary, but you will then receive your flag and an authentication certificate, which you can present as a gift to military personnel or patriotic Americans.

Toiletries Kit

If you’re looking for military going away gifts, an incredibly thoughtful and practical idea is a toiletries kit filled with the necessities they’ll need in basic training. Many items are provided for recruits in basic training, but they’ll need to supply their toiletries. This gives you a chance to spoil them by buying nice products and loading up a durable toiletry bag; then they have some luxuries and reminders of home for everyday use.

Care Baskets

If you know a current military member, then a care basket is a wonderful way to show your appreciation and let them know you’re thinking about them. Pre-made care baskets are available that save you the trouble of coming up with ideas, or you can create your own kit loaded with special treats that you know the recipient will love. Some ideas for a care basket include sunblock, candy (not chocolate), coffee, snacks, trail mix, drink mixes or powders, socks, books, pictures, letters from friends and family, favorite homemade goodies, games, game books, and necessities.

Memento Box

Give them a place to store their military mementos and medals. You can purchase pre-made boxes designed to protect and keep treasured items or have one custom-made to honor them, their military branch, the years they served, and/or their platoon. This thoughtful gift will be treasured for years to come.

Charitable Gift

Another great way to honor a loved one is to make a donation in their name. Many wonderful organizations, like the?Wounded Warrior Project, are set up to help veterans. A charitable financial gift can have an impact that’s multiplied as it honors your special military member by giving help and hope to other service members.

Gift of Time

One of the best ways to honor military members in your life is to spend time with them. Showing loved ones how much they mean to you can be as easy as carving out an hour or two to hang out together, talk on the phone, or video chat. Whether that military member is still active or left the service behind, they’re sure to appreciate hearing from people who matter to them, and you’ll also benefit from time spent together.
