With Veterans Day coming up, people should take the time to thank a veteran and show their appreciation for the sacrifices that were made. While most veterans prefer not to receive grand gesture moments, they deserve acts of kindness and gifts. Look into inspirational gifts for Veterans Day that range from memorabilia to home decor.
Many veterans treasure mementos of their service. Consider rings or cufflinks engraved with their initials and military emblem. Female service personnel might wear charm bracelets. People can buy a personalized military time watch as a retirement gift. Leather wallets, key chains and stainless steel flasks all engraved with the veteran's name and rank also make great gifts.
Family and friends can buy their beloved service member a protective case to contain their dog tags and flags. Shadow boxes, including this pre-assembled display case from USAMM, help preserve medals and ribbons and can be personalized with the person's name, rank and years of service.
Military service members appreciate "Thank You" gift boxes, such as a box of chocolates or coffee samplers. For around the house, they might wear patriotic t-shirts and camouflage pants or socks. Veterans also might enjoy books or DVD/Blu-Rays on military history. Buy gifts to decorate their home with, which include military coin display racks, patriotic or military-themed blanket throws and framed art. Service personnel can also buy a map with pins which indicate all the areas where they were deployed. Veteran Command produces the deployment map canvas seen below.
Some veterans switch to an office job after leaving the armed forces. They can use military-themed paperweights and mousepad to decorate their desk. Notebooks and pens with a military branch emblem also make practical gifts.
