Christmas is coming and millions of people across the country will soon be opening their presents under their Christmas tree and seeing what goodies were left in their stockings. But filling up stockings can sometimes be hard. With Christmas coming up fast, check out this list of the best stocking stuffers for your favorite service member or loved ones.
Waterproof Socks
One of the worst feelings in the world is walking around with wet socks! Service members travel through rain or shine and sometimes have to hike through rough conditions. Consider gifting your favorite military personnel a few pairs of waterproof socks. These socks are constructed with multi-layers of protection, so your feet are guaranteed to stay dry. The best part is your feet will stay warm and comfortable.
Mini Photo Album
Being away from loved ones is one of the toughest things every military service member deals with. This Christmas throw in a mini photo album of you and your favorite service member. A few photos of special occasions with family and friends can be the greatest gift you could give. They can scan through the photos while they are away from home. If your service member has a child, consider adding a picture of your child’s artwork to the album. If this interests you, look into MyPhoto.
Flashlight
One of the most common stocking stuffers for military personnel is flashlights. This comes as no surprise because service members work during the day and night. Flashlights today have other features than just a durable source of light. Some offer features like waterproofing, strobe lights, and mini compasses. Everyone can use an extra flashlight for their work, home, or car.
Jerky and Trail Mix
Jerky and trail mix are great stocking stuffers for any active military member. These snacks make an amazing easy-to-pack treat while on duty. Sometimes in combat, it can be difficult to pack a lot of things, so having a small quick snack like these can go a long way. There are plenty of flavors of jerky you can choose to get your favorite service member including bison, elk, deer, and other exotic meats.
This list can be used for all of the military personnel in your life. While the holidays are around the corner, these ideas may be good to donate to local military organizations.
