Spread the love

‘Come on baby light my fire’, ‘burning love’, and many other poetic formulas have solidified love as an ardent, flame-like power that, just like actual fire, sweeps everything on its path.

Rarely can anyone benefit from actual fire though: it spreads quickly, emits poisonos fumes, and burns away the roofs of too many homes to count. That is why those who protect us from it are well-deserved the love and recognition for their service.

To celebrate a firefighter’s ‘burning love’ for his job, we’ve garnered a list of gift ideas for firefighters on every occasion including Christmas, graduation, Valentine’s Day, Fathers’ Day and retirement.

Firefighter Globe Decanter 

gift for firefighters

Prestige Decanter – Firefighter 1000ml Globe Decanter

Starting off with this luxurious decanter, we’re reminded to ask whether firefighters have time to drink! He probably already has a decanter stashed in some cupboard but not one flashing the Maltese Flag.

The Maltese Flag is widely considered as the leading emblem of firefighters. Apart from the flag, is the fine-glass decanter itself embraced by a hand-crafted oak rest adding the needed vintage flavour decanters require! 

Firefighter Watch

Citizen Men’s Thin Red Line Firefighter Watch

There’s the thin blue line of law enforcement, the white line of medical emergency, and the line this watch showcases: the thin red line showing solidarity with injured and fallen firefighters.

Give a firefighter a gift to keep him close to his teammates and help him remember those who once served next to him. A watch with only one purpose in mind: to compel courage and bravery in the face of danger.

A unique water bottle to begin with. A gift not just for firefighters if you’re asking me. Made of 18/8 stainless steel and non-toxic BPA-free plastic. It keeps beverages cold for 24 hours and contains warmth for up 12.

Turning to the outer coating of the bottle the powder finish will give you solid grip; not to mention that it’s nice to touch. Give an up-and-coming firefighter a practical souvenir to keep him pumped of the upcoming excitement.

Fireman Sculpture

Up next there’s a gift most fitting for a retiring firefighter after long years of risk-infused service. Crafted out of high-quality resin the figurine has undergone a process called ‘bronze electroplating’ which gives the distinct bronze shine while keeping it lightweight.

Standing at 9.5” and oozing pride, the figurine serves as the closing chapter of a fireman’s career and uniformly celebrates all firefighters at once! Definitely a good retirement gift for firefighters.

cool gift ideas for firefighters

Bella Hous Design – Firefighter Bird House

Weirdly enough, despite the numerous advancements in technology, textiles, and… aham… fashion, firefighter helmets have stayed more-or-less loyal to their original shape and form.

And while the helmet you’re seeing is a far cry from modern-day firefighter hats, its vintage look gives you a snippet of Firefighting’s courageous history. Oh, and it also keeps the birds happy in case you’re wondering.

This is a nice gift for the firefighter who just retires or as a housewarming gift.
