10 Awesome Father’s Day Gifts For The Veteran In Your Life

June 7, 2017 by Christina Leave a Comment

Shopping for Father’s Day can be dreadful for most of us. My husband never asks for anything and when he does want something then he goes out and buys it. I actually end up having to tell him not to buy whatever I have thought up so the surprise ends up ruined. I think most veteran men are like that though. They have a take charge attitude and it spills over in to every part of their life. Lucky for you I have come up with 10 Father’s Day gifts for the veteran in your life. The bonus is they are all from veteran owned businesses!

10 Father's Day Gifts For The Veteran In Your Life

American Reaper 2.0 T-Shirt

This thing is bad@$$! I actually ordered myself one because I love it so much. My husband and I both own shirts from Grunt Style and we love them. They are super soft and comfortable in any weather. Your veteran is sure to love this one!

Black Rifle Coffee

If your veteran is a coffee lover then you are in luck. Black Rifle Coffee is the perfect gift then. They have different blends along with different options such as whole bean, ground and now even a single serving option. My husband bought some and took it into work with him. Lets just say he’s hooked!

Flags 4 Heroes

You will see some flag decorations later in this post but this one is unique. As you know, being coined in the military is a big deal. I myself have collected many during my years of service. My husband has as well. There are different sizes available for this coin rack starting at a desk sized and all the way up to wall hanging size. The craftsmanship is beyond amazing and I know any veteran would be proud to display their coins on this rack. I do have to say that this company is not veteran owned but obviously supports our military and therefore is a great company in my opinion.

Bottle Breacher

We have one in our house and it’s awesome! I bought it as a Christmas gift for my husband but it was really for me. (shh!) It’s great quality and I love that you can personalize it. They even have a Father’s Day special going on right now. Pair the Bottle Breacher with a case of his favorite beer and you have the perfect gift!

American Flag Decor

This is a gift can come from multiple vendors. Depending on the style and material you want it made from you can choose to get it from Candor Fabrications, Rustic Texas Design or Combat Flags. They all have unique designs and this would totally be a personal preference choice. I love them all and could find a place for each one so I am of no help in choosing…sorry. Click on the picture and it will take you to the site that makes that flag.

Hard To Kill Fitness Training

This is the perfect gift for any veteran who loves fitness. These training plans are created by a veteran and then made available through purchase on the website. Then you download a PDF with all the information and access to a private Facebook group for support. It’s the perfect gift if your veteran loves fitness but needs to hit the gym on his own time. There are 6-week, 8-week and 12-week plans. All of them are very reasonably priced. Added bonus, you can do the training program too!

Ammo Audio Ammo Can Speaker

I seriously geek out over up-cycling products and this is one of the coolest ones I’ve seen yet! They took and ammo can and turned it into a speaker system. It is Bluetooth capable up to 50ft at that. I can’t think of a single veteran that wouldn’t LOVE to show this off. Heck, I want to buy one for myself.

Beard Commander

If your veteran has a beard then make sure it’s taken care of with the help of these products. My husband is still in so he doesn’t have a beard but I’m all about supporting veteran owned businesses. Plus, the owner/operator Scott Osiier looks like he knows a thing or two about beard care. They have a really great story as well. You can read all about it here. It makes me want to buy some products even though we don’t need them.

These next two products are the perfect gifts for anyone that loves the outdoors. Hiking, biking, hunting, fishing, boating and everything in between!

ReadyMan Rapid Access Bag

This is one cool bag! Not only can you easily access items inside, it just looks cool. Of course, any item sold by ReadyMan has to be amazing since the company was founded by U.S. Special Operation Forces veterans and skilled outdoorsmen.

Nine Line Airborne Hammock

Whatever you do, don’t show this to my husband! He will be buying it and taking it on “fishing trips” just so he can get a nap in without me knowing LOL. Seriously though, this thing looks comfortable. It would be a great addition to any outdoorsman’s gear.

Bonus Products

The next two products are not veteran owned but they are products that I believe the man in your life would love to have. I am linking them through Amazon so I have to let you know that I am an Amazon Affiliate meaning that I may receive a commission off your purchase. However, it does not affect the price of the product at all so no worries there!

QALO Silicone Wedding Ring

These wedding rings are a must for pretty much any man. I just ordered my husband’s today. He has many friends who have one and they say it’s not only comfortable but doesn’t irritate their finger like a lot of metal bands do. Plus he can wear it working out or when he’s fishing or hunting and you won’t have to worry if it gets lost. It comes in a bunch of different colors as well. They even have a camouflage color!

Under Armour Tech Polo Shirt

Every man needs a nice polo shirt in his closet. I try to pick a couple up for my husband every now and then so he has them for our date nights. He loves these because they are a great material and I like them because they look great on him. You can’t go wrong with these polo shirts.

Happy Friday!! I hope everyone has had a good week. I have been busy at work with a lot of Father’s Day orders. I can’t really share them since they are gifts and I don’t want to ruin the surprise so instead, here’s a picture of another order I have on the turners this morning. What is everyone’s plans for the weekend? I’m sure you can guess mine! 🤣 #custommade #glittertumblers #milspouse #veteranowned #shopsmallbusiness
I’ve been a busy mama. I really enjoy this outlet of creativity. Check out my page @heartandstripeshandmade and give it a like. I’m just starting but there are lots of new items coming soon. 😍
Sorry I’ve been so absent lately! It’s been a crazy time for the family and I. Over the weekend we FINALLY got the house settled to the point of feeling like a home. My husband also helped me get my desk and crafting area situated. On top of getting back into my blogging I have started making homemade items such as glitter tumblers, shirts, shadowboxes, hats, etc. I’m making these items and selling them while also keeping up with the house, kids, husband and taking 5 bachelors degree classes. Needless to say, it’s hectic but I’m managing. You can check out my other page, @heartandstripeshandmade for updates on things I’m making and I’ll have a new blog post up soon. Finding some balance now. 😍 Happy Thursday!
This week has been full of ups and downs. The downs have been pretty bad and triggered my PTSD. Luckily I have a great support system and was able to wake up happy and anxiety free today. Please know that if ANY of you need someone to talk to, I’m here. No judgement, no telling you why you shouldn’t feel that way (because I know you can’t control it sometimes)...just a listening ear and someone who cares that you are here on this earth! Happy Friday friends....look to the light today. 💕😘 xoxo . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse #harrypotterquote #itstruethough #suicideawareness #youaremeanttobehere #listeningear #nojudgement
Anyone want to come do my Survey of Accounting homework? No? I don’t blame you! 😂 I actually have a pretty good grasp on it so far but they have like 9 videos I have to watch first before completing my homework. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Each video is like 10 minutes. Needless to say, I’m having lots of fun this morning. 🤷🏻‍♀️ How’s your Friday starting out? . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Yesterday it’s snowing, today (ALL DAY) it’s pouring rain. Mother Nature must be PMSing this week 😂🤷🏻‍♀️ . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
You are a strong, loving and independent woman. You can do anything you set your mind to! I recently read that no one will want your dream to happen for you more and than you want it! That means you better stop taking no as an answer and instead of giving up you find an alternate route. You got this! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Y’all, excuse the language but it’s cold AF! It snowed again overnight and while it’s a pretty white blanket of snow everywhere...I’m freezing my behind off! Good thing I don’t have to do anything other than take the kiddos to school and pick them up! How’s your morning going? . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Here’s your reminder to go drink some water, it will do you good! Two weeks ago if you would have been in this carpool line with me then you would have seen a Mountain Dew or a second Monster Energy Drink sitting in my cupholder. Today it’s. 33.8 oz water bottle. I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with it, even on the days I am craving that Mountain Dew so bad! But I made a commitment to myself to stick with it and instead of constantly breaking promises to myself, I’m learning to stick with it. It gets easier with every day that passes. 🙋🏻🎉💕 . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Energy has always been a myth to me. It’s something I always wanted but instead I constantly was forcing myself to get up and do things. I have had a major shift with that since starting #thedubrowdiet and it’s amazing! Y’all, I’m being 100% honest with you, I never thought having energy was possible. This might be TMI but it’s the week before my cycle. Normally I am so drained I am constantly falling asleep on the couch and feel so horrible. While I’m still a bit tired, it’s not stopping me. I’m getting everything done that I need to and here hasn’t been a single issue with falling asleep on the couch. That’s huge for me! This plan has helped me reach my before kids weight, getting those last 6 stubborn pounds off, but more importantly I wake up with energy to get stuff done and my belly hasn’t been this flat in 10 years!! Thank you @heatherdubrow and @dr.dubrow for this amazing plan! This mama needed it and even my hubs is staying awake in the evenings during our TV time! It’s a win all the way around!!! 💕😍🙋🏻🎉🍷 . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
It’s Monday morning and the temps were pretty low this morning so I decided it was a good day to use my free Starbucks drink reward. Yep, I can still have coffee on my diet plan. It’s actually encouraged but I use 2% milk and no added sugars. Since it was free I of course got a Venti! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Happy Monday! 💕 . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
I apparently have a refurb addiction. These nightstands were posted on our local marketplace and I knew I wanted them the minute I laid eyes on them. They match the desks I redid for the girls so now they will each get a nightstand to match their desk. It may seem a little crazy that I just keep adding projects on top of everything else but this stuff is what I enjoy so it’s not work to me. How was your weekend? . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
I'm trying to make this my best year yet! What about you? . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Thank you Give Parents A Break for watching the kiddos for us so we could have a date night! We didn’t get one last month because of sick kids so this one was totally needed. The hubs and I hit up Outback and even managed to stay within our diet. I even got to drink a wine because I’m in phase 2! 😍 It was a great night!!! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
When your kiddos love watching Ladybug and you find the second season on DVD at the Dollar Tree, you buy one for each kid. 😂 Seriously, a total mom score. I can’t pass that up for $1! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Set your goals and don't stop until you achieve them! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Yep, I washed and dried all the clothes but they sat like this for days! By the way, they got folded/hung and put away last night. I post this to show you that we all have that pile of laundry or dishes in the sink. It’s basically impossible to get everything done even with the loads of energy I have lately. Just do your best each day and leave the rest for another day. Hey, at least it’s clean laundry! 🤷🏻‍♀️😂. . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Just working on a new little project 😍 They are no where near done but definitely starting to see my vision come to life. 💕 . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
I have a lot of new adventures I am tackling this year and at times it seems a bit overwhelming but in the end I know it will totally be worth it. Do you have new adventures on your horizon this year? Tell me about them and if I can support you in any way. . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
Tonight is was imperative that I did some self care. I could feel a bit of my anxiety creeping in. Don’t get me wrong, I have more energy and feel healthy but my anxiety isn’t based on my healthiness. Sometimes it just rears it’s head even when I’m feeling great. So a nice long, hot and relaxing bath helped me greatly. I hope that your Thursday was amazing! . . . . . #blogger #heartandstripesblog #militarylife #militarywife #veteran #sahm #momlife #hustlehard #coffeeholic #bookworm #militaryspouse
