The best personalized firefighter gifts
1. A Duffel Bag
The duffel bag is made from durable 600D-grade polyester and is waterproof to prevent any damage to the goods kept inside of it. Simply add your firefighter’s name at checkout and voila! It offers huge compartments, making it an overall good size bag for personal use or gear use.
2. A New Wallet
The wallet is made of authentic turnout gear material, and the name is applied with professional-grade heart bond material. This stitching style foregoes using individual threads, making them harder to break—and thereby harder for your firefighter to bust up quickly! Whether he’s a “stuff your wallet full til explodes” kinda fella or more tidy, this wallet will stand up well.
3. A Station Blanket
The warm firefighter station blanket is made from cotton ripstop with reflective on front and warm fleece in the backside. The size of the blanket is 60” x 80,” the perfect fit for your safety nap on the recliner at the station. Your name would be thermally bonded on it to prevent the letters from flaking away. The top-grade materials promote durability.
This can be an especially thoughtful gift for the firefighter who does a lot of station hopping along with working at their regular station.
Add the pillow case to make it a full gift set!
4. A New Water Bottle
30 ounce capacity, BPA free, shatter proof, and customized? This water bottle is a winner, and the perfect custom firefighter gift for those walking the thin red line who also love working out!
5. A Novelty Blanket
This blanket is perfect for the firefighters—add your name loved one’s name to really make it pop. A “Thin Red Line American flag” proudly displays atop soft, cozy fleece.
Of all the custom firefighter blankets we found across the web, we selected this one for its sharp design, size options, and because it is lightweight. Here are a few more options if you’re gung-ho to find a personalized blanket for firefighters:
6. A Step In Gear Bag
The bag includes two lines of custom embroidery where you can choose to embroider details like name, department, rank, etc. The bag has a separate compartment for gear, helmet, gloves, jumpsuit, mask, gloves, and extra clothes. The lower edge of the bag is designed in such a way that it can tolerate a lot of wear and tear; as they say, keeping your gear clean and storing it in a turnout bag essential for extending the life of your firefighter equipment.
Plus, the bottom of the bag is water-resistant, so that your gift recipient can put down their bag anywhere without concern!
7. Embroidered Baseball Cap
Nothing says “firefighter pride” quite like this handsome ball cap! As one firefighter stated: “Everyone at the Rock River Township Fire Department wanted to know where I purchased it… I highly recommend and will buy again!”
Get it in navy, white, grey, black, or fire engine red.
8. Canvas Wall Decor
Spice up the walls of your firefighter’s home with a striking piece of customized firefighter art. The combo of their personal name and the firefighter emblem works well in this canvas piece.
We think this display is a pretty cool option for customized firefighter wall art, too!
