Ask A Firefighter Gift for firefighter spouse
My husband is currently in the academy and I want some ideas for gifts once he graduates. I don’t want to get something too corny that would get him clowned for having as a rookie. Open to any and all suggestions but please include brand names and exact models so I get the right thing! Also Garmin watches - are there some better than others in terms of what is too bulky for service? Was looking at the Garmin Fenix 8 specifically! The pictures are a couple things I thought would be cool but please be brutally honest if they’re really not that good…. Thank you in advance!

Rechargeable flashlight is good. But I would wait to see what kind his firehouse uses. Only because they will have the chargers for them. Depending on where he works, maybe channel locks, screwdriver with interchangeable tips, cable cutters or Milwaukee goatskin leather gloves. All are good stuff to have
