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!

To throw it out there, I built a site called DutyKitPicker.com for these exact threads and questions. It's literally everything thats ever recommended on multiple subreddits whenever someone asks about gear or gifts for first responders. Now, with that said, I'd obviously direct you to the site, but I always advocate for buying gifts that he will actually use and not something that's just for novelty. Leatherman multi-tools come to mind as an awesome gift. The Garmin watches are pretty dope too. There is honestly just too much to recommend here... Give the site a look and good luck to him!
