1. Large Acacia Bar Cart
After serving our country for so long, your retired Marine Corps member deserves to show off their impressive bar collection in a stylish way. This large acacia bar cart is entirely American-made with sustainable and beautiful acacia wood, making each cart unique.

2. Semper Fi Bar Sign
Always faithful – the rallying cry of the Marines! Every bar needs a sign, and this Semper Fi customizable bar sign christens your home bar to turn it into everything you hope it can be. Made of naturally smooth acacia wood, the sign is cut, carved, and engraved in-house by master artisans in Kentucky, so you’re guaranteed the highest quality. Hang it easily with the built-in keyhole rather than fumbling with multiple tools and screws.
3. Eagle and Flag Decanter Set
A classy way to display your favorite liquor is by decanting it into…well, a decanter! And why use a boring decanter when you can personalize this piece of home decor with custom engraving? Our eagle and flag decanter set comes with a classically shaped and intricately etched decanter and two matching whiskey tumblers. The decanter is capped off with a ground-glass airtight stopper, protecting the spirit within and keeping it as pure as the first day you opened it. Add up to four lines of your custom text to further personalize this gift!
4. Marine Corps Murphy Bar
Functional and gorgeous? The best of both worlds! Murphy bars are great for folks who are low on floor space or prefer to keep their bar collection tucked away. Our Murphy bar embodies qualities Marines are known to value: packing light and conserving space! This one includes a metal 3D Marine Corps emblem attached to the front, which is the door that folds down to form a bar where you can pour and mix drinks. Various compartments are built within for all your bartending needs.

Proudly handmade in the USA by American craftsmen in small batches to ensure quality, this valet tray is perfect for organizing your keys, pens, mail, sunglasses, or whatever you need to keep handy in one spot.

6. Preamble Bar Sign
Hang a reminder of what their military service was for in the den, home bar, home office, or wherever else could use some sprucing up. Our acacia wood Preamble bar sign is a stylish addition to your home decor. It lets every visitor know that in your house, you believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
