Military Retirement Gift Ideas

Retiring from the military can be different for each person. Some people retire from the military after four years, others retire once they’re in their sixties. Another thing to remember is that some people retire from the military and immediately miss it – the same way law enforcement and firefighters miss their jobs after retirement. That’s what makes picking out the perfect gift harder. However, there are some gifts that will work with most military retirees. Whether it’s a gift with a military logo or sports equipment, these are some Military Retirement Gift Ideas that will make your hero smile.

Military Insignia Items

If you know someone who’s retiring from the military, and is a hardcore veteran, you can’t go wrong with gifts that feature the insignia of his military branch. You can find almost anything with Army, Marine, Navy, or Air Force logos. This means you have a lot of gifts to choose from. It might be something as simple as a blanket or it might be a nice piece of jewelry. The choice is yours.

Military Journal

Being in the military is never easy. A journal offers a way for military vets to explore their thoughts after coming home. You can find really nice handmade leather journals on Amazon in a variety of colors and styles. Include a nice pen and you’ve got a really nice gift.

Nostalgic Food Gifts

You can’t go wrong with food gifts. You can find a number of manly food gift baskets online or you can build your own using beef jerky, mixed nuts, pork rinds, glass bottled soda (or beer), and any other snacks he loves. This is a fun and affordable gift that he’s sure to love.

Non-Military Subscription Services

Some don’t want to think about the military all the time, so another great gift idea is a subscription service. It might be a subscription to Netflix, Kindle Unlimited, Hulu, or even Gamefly. It all depends on what he loves to do. Another option is to get a subscription box. There are so many fun ones to choose from.

Sports Equipment

Last, but not least, sports equipment is another great gift that most military retirees are going to love. If he’s older, he might enjoy a new set of golf clubs. If he’s younger, he might enjoy mountain climbing gear. Think about what he loves doing and buy equipment for that sport.
