Great Finds For #CamoChristmas #Holiday2026

This Holiday Season, we are all about the military and camo, representing as a Veteran family, and now, of course, with our son on Active Duty! Here are some great finds for a #CamoChristmas!

As a small faith-based Etsy shop, Rise Up Streetwear features all sorts of designs, including a few military-inspired. The owner makes all of the products herself. We got two awesome shirts that I love! Both shirts are made with Gildan's 64000 (softstyle) and high-quality vinyl. More Faith design and One Nation design! Check out all the great items! Something for everyone! Use code: OFFTHEWIRE15. Customers will be able to get 15% off when they make an order of $35+

This Handmade Camouflage Duffle Bag is a one-of-a-kind bag handmade in the USA. The camouflage material gives it a military-inspired look, while the handmade construction makes each bag unique. 277Designs began from a very personal place. After the owner Alan's years as a firefighter and the physical challenges that came with the job, sewing and creating these bags became a meaningful way for him to cope with pain while turning materials into something useful and lasting. Today, each bag is still handmade with care.

Rubyloo is a US-based business created by pet owners who know what life with pets really looks like. They have meticulously researched and tested products that actually benefit pets and their owners. The Rubyloo Original Doggy Bag in Camo is like a diaper bag for dogs, built for adventure. The rugged camo design pairs with durable, water-resistant Oxford fabric, reinforced stitching and zippers, and an odor-resistant lining. Inside, it includes 2 BPA-free collapsible bowls, 2 leak-proof food containers, adjustable dividers, multiple pockets, and a built-in poop bag dispenser to keep everything organized and accessible.

JustShoesforKids.com is not just for kids. There are some great shoes for women too, in a ton of great styles! Like these Army Green Barefoot Lona shoes! So comfy and casual! These flexible, soft shoes feature a zero-drop barefoot design that lets your feet move naturally. Each pair has a unique washed effect, making every shoe one of a kind.

The founder of Valor Craftworks is a Veteran spouse who creates handcrafted products inspired by military service, connection, and the families who support those who serve. The Military Support Bracelet Collection was designed to be worn every day as a quiet reminder of connection and support. Each bracelet is inspired by a specific branch of service, offering military spouses, family members, friends, and supporters a simple way to keep that connection close. I love my Army bracelet!

Manly Man Co #Holiday2021 #VeteranOwned

Every year I always have issues with finding something for Jason. And increasingly it is hard to find Callan something as he is getting to be a grown up (shut up, I did not just say that!) But men are damn hard to shop for! Whether it be Christmas or Valentines or what have you! They just are! Because for real, a chick can take like flowers and candy and bath shit, and for real be like "oh my god, he got me something, it is so sweet"! Honestly. Men are hard. So in comes Manly Man Co for the win! They have quirky, fun and unique gifts to make your man laugh, and gifts they will actually enjoy! Beef Jerky Flowers, Bacon Roses, Meathearts, Meat Cards, and Manly Gift Sets. Plus they are a Veteran-owned business, and that steals my heart, any time!

I got a kick out of the Beef Jerky Flowers. Each bouquet's "vase" is a Manly Man beer mug and is pre-arranged, sealed and packaged fresh with oxygen absorbers in a stylish branded box. The custom package design allows the bouquet to be delivered fully assembled and easily slides out to provide the ultimate gifting experience. Fun to look at yes, but actually edible, too!

Here is the description of the Tactical Stocking we got: "This year burn those pansy tube sock stockings grandma gave him and get him a stocking as rugged as him". Funny, right? And awesome for military type dudes. I let Jason choose an item from the website to get. He chose this. And I thought, oh he's going to want to put his name on it, because it is customizable. But, as you can see he chose to put Mason's on there. And folks, this is where my Manly Man can be a softy. Some of you may know we lost our Mason 10 years ago. Jason told me - let's get this stocking to remember at the holidays that our Mason is fighting in God's Army now. Stahp it! I'm not crying, you're crying!

Spirit-Infused Fire Dept. Coffee #Fall2021#VeteranOwned

Fire Dept. Coffee is a veteran-owned business and certified by the National Veteran-Owned Business Association (NaVOBA), that is dedicated to providing great-tasting coffee to people everywhere. Every order is freshly roasted in Rockford, Illinois, by a dedicated team of firefighters, first responders, and coffee connoisseurs. Inspired by the vital role that coffee plays in helping firefighters stay alert and energized through long shifts, Fire Dept. Coffee was founded in 2016. Founder and CEO Luke Schneider is a full-time firefighter/paramedic and a U.S. Navy veteran who teamed up with firefighter/paramedic Jason Patton who is also a full-time firefighter and VP for Fire Department Coffee. Fire Department Coffee is run by active and retired firefighters, including an operations officer and chief coffee roaster. Along with providing a growing selection of incredible coffee - including its signature spirit-infused roasts - Fire Dept. Coffee also supports heroes in need through the Fire Dept. Coffee Foundation. 10% of net proceeds are donated to help provide essential resources and assistance to first responders who have been injured on the job, mentally or physically, or who are facing other serious health challenges.

Jason got to check out the Medium Roast. He drank it all the way on our cross country move from Minnesota to Florida. It's what kept him going. This delicious blend is where it all began for Fire Department Coffee. Made with a blend of Central and South American coffees, The Original Medium Roast Coffee delivers a bold flavor in every cup. When you need a burst of energy to get the job done, go with the Original blend.

They have special limited edition blends for the season as well - which would be my go-to! Pumpkin and Apple Cider flavors! And of course a whole slew of other blends! If you're a coffee person, you have to check this brand out!

Dashfire Beards #StockingStuffer #Holiday2020 #VeteranOwned

Dashfire Beards is a veteran owned (hooah!) business that sells beard oil for the fellas. Because whether they admit it or not, guys have a...beauty...routine too. That's the wrong word...grooming routine? Sounds better! And Dashfire Beards can help with that!

CLP (Cleaner, Lubricant, and Protectant)

"Treat Your Beard Like You Treat Your Guns"

Dashfire Beard Oil CLP is a hand blended mix of Carrier Oils such as Argan, Coconut, Apricot, and Jojoba. As well as a selection of essential oils such as Black Spruce, Patchouli, Sandalwood, Lemongrass, and Cedarwood.

BEARD: Massage into beard, this usually works best after a shower. The amount needed will depend on your beard length, but it can range from half a dropper to a few droppers full. Find what works for you and what your preference is. This will help grow, thicken, moisturize, protect, and strengthen your Dashfire Beard.

HAIR: Same recommendation for applying as your beard. It can help thicken your hair, as well as tame it and help with split ends.

SKIN: Just as everyone’s hair is different, so is your skin. Apply as needed for hydration. This will also help tighten pores to prevent blackheads, and prevent ingrown hairs.

Kind of some all in one awesomeness, because generally guys don't like a lot of products, at least Jason doesn't. So the more one can do, the better. This would be a great stocking stuffer for all the dudes on your list this year!
