Gift ideas for this coming holiday season.

We know our families love to see things from our travels and our service or related to our spouses’ service. Of course, it’s often nice to commemorate your grandfather’s years in the Navy or your great aunt’s letters home while she was corresponding from overseas in WWII. How can you turn those memories and treasures into gifts? Here’s just a small list of ideas for you this season:

Michaels: Proud to Serve Framing Collection
Heirloom Chest
Model of the CGC BARQUE EAGLE
Military Coin Display
Dalvey (my personal favorite. I LOVE Dalvey and the man in blue may be sporting one of these soon. Shhhh, he just doesn’t know.)

Some gifts handcrafted by fellow Coast Guard Spouses you may want to check out, not necessarily military specific:

Soaps
ODU Bags
Clay Ornaments
Jewelry
Hairbows/clips
Dog treats

Looking for a birthday or holiday gift for your favorite Coastie Kid? Here are some items I thought I’d pass along:
Lego CG Helicopter
Coast Guard Monopoly
Coast Guard Rescue Set
Coast Guard Matchbox Hero Set
CG Mack Truck & Container

And, for the little kid/teen who dreams of growing up to become a member of this elite sea-going service (pardon the very abbreviated enlisted rate list, and sarcasm; it’s my *sad* attempt to be humorous). These items are sure to get them prepared.

Maybe… if I’m brave one day I will share with you my tongue-in-cheek list of gifts for certain career paths/ranks. Maybe.
