‘No way, another new pack of socks for Christmas,’ said no man that I have ever known. Of course, practicality is important. Oftentimes, it is a great way to use the holidays as a way to spend money on things you would have needed to anyways, all while giving someone something brand new. Perhaps you want to go a little further to surprise the LEO in your life. For the sake of this blog, if you are looking for a gift that will wow your LEO, I have some great ones for you.

My LEO husband is one of the humblest people that I have ever met. In saying this, I could gift wrap a carrot and he would spin it around with appreciation for how much his horse would love that carrot. This requires me to become particularly crafty when it comes time to finding him a special gift. 

Gift Ideas That My Police Husband Loves

1. Maxx-Dri Vest 2.0 Body Armor Cooling Ventilation Airflow Tactical Vest. My husband used to get terrible heat rashes during the summer. This all stopped when I discovered this vest

2. A tourniquet is a vital resource in saving someone’s life, yet most officers have to make due in a critical situation because it is not customary to carry one on them

3. My husband wanted wireless earbuds but I couldn’t rationalize spending the money on Apple’s. Instead, I found these and my husband uses them to listen to music and Audiobooks when he works out

4. Nuun Hydration Electrolyte tabs became an addiction for my husband from the moment I gave them to him. These little tabs taste great and are packet with electrolytes, minerals, and they are made with plant-based ingredients

5. Shoe insoles are fantastic since your LEO is on their feet all day long

6. For those long nights when my LEO is working, he makes an entire pot of coffee and brings his Stanley Classic Vacuum Bottle. This keeps drinks hot or cold for 32 hours or iced for 160 hours and he LOVES it

7. My LEO and I do a lot of international travel and we enjoy trying all of the new foods. Candies are always one of our favorites to bring home for friends and family. In the UK, the chocolate brands that we are used to (such as Cadbury = my personal favorite) are made with cane sugar instead of white processed sugar as sold in the United States. In that, the taste is incredible. I have ordered from this website several times and am always happy with the care that they take in packing the products. If you sign up for their mailing list, they often have great sales and shipping is free with a minimum purchase https://www.englishteastore.com/candychocolate.html

For those crafty individuals, I recently saw a woman make her husband a quilt with patches from several other agencies sewn into it, with his in the center. It was beautiful and so thoughtful.

I am fortunate to get to spend the holiday with my LEO this year but I understand that for many others, this will not be the case. If you find your focus is on loneliness, worry, or stress, always remember that you are beautiful, you are strong, and you are LEO Warriors.
