1. Honor Our Firefighters Decanter

What better way to show your appreciation for their service than an expertly crafted, mouthblown decanter? They’ll be blown away by the intricately sculpted Maltese Cross tucked in the center of the 1000ml decanter! This jaw-dropping piece of barware is sturdily mounted on a solid wood base. Thanks to the included ground-glass airtight stopper, your retiring firefighter can trust that their favorite spirit is kept fresh and pure inside this decanter. Fits over a full fifth of liquor.

2. Engraved High Seas Glass (Set of Two)

With retirement comes the time to kick back and relax with a nice cocktail or pour of whiskey. Elevate their happy hour with a set of two engraved glasses from our popular High Seas line. Designed to rock and tilt without spilling their contents, the generously-sized ten-ounce glasses are made of 100% lead-free borosilicate glass by our master artisans. They’re then engraved with the Maltese Cross before being safely shipped to you. Cheers!

3. Maltese Cross Bar Sign

If there’s a spot in the house where they tend to enjoy a drink – the kitchen, an office, or anywhere else that could use a little flair – then your retiring firefighter could use their very own bar sign. Our Maltese Cross round bar sign is customizable to include their first and last name. Made of water-resistant acacia wood, our craftsmen expertly engrave the design and customization into the naturally smooth material with precision. Hangs on a wall easily with a unique and useful keyhole design.

4. Personalized Fire Station Murphy Bar

We understand that floor space can come at a premium, and sometimes there just isn’t enough room for a bar cart or sideboard. That doesn’t mean your retiring firefighter can’t have their own home bar! One of the most thoughtful firefighter retirement gifts is this personalized fire station Murphy bar. It hangs on the wall like a cabinet and contains multiple shelves and nooks for holding bottles, glassware, and bar tools. Made of solid oak, the front design is entirely customizable to include the firehouse number and year established.

5. Customizable Grilling Set

If anyone knows how to grill safely, it’s the firefighter in your life! They’ll love this customized grilling set, complete with an engraved bamboo travel case, a spatula, tongs, and a grill fork. The stylish tools are unmatched in design! Not only that, but the firefighter in your life will love the personalized travel case with up to two lines of customized text. You can choose from a few different designs to set this gift apart. Grilling has never been so hot!

6. American Firefighter Decanter Set

If you’re searching for unique firefighter retirement gifts, look no further. Our American firefighter decanter set is exactly what they want to commemorate the occasion, whether they know it yet or not! Our artisans engraved the fireman’s flag and Maltese Cross onto our classic square decanter and matching glasses. All glassware in this expertly crafted set is mouthblown of lead-free borosilicate glass, creating sturdy, safe, and shining glass. The decanter is perfectly sized to hold just over a full fifth of their favorite liquor.

7. Maltese Cross Bar Tray

A well-made bar tray is an unexpected yet welcomed gift for honoring years of service. Our Maltese Cross bar tray exemplifies craftsmanship in its hand-carved, cut, and engraved acacia wood. The water- and stain-resistant wood makes it perfect for all kinds of tasks, whether that’s serving drinks at five o’clock, bringing breakfast to bed, or even organizing mail. The tray is such a gorgeous piece of work it can be displayed as art. Naturally smooth with variations in the grain, no two trays are identical.

8. Engraved Helmet and Axes Decanter Set

Here is another example of the creativity of our artisans! This customizable decanter set features a helmet-and-axes design as well as room for up to four lines of your custom text. Engraved on our classic 900ml square decanter, the high quality of their work is immediately evident. The set is complete with two matching whiskey tumblers and the option to add two or four more at checkout. They’ll love displaying this set on a bar cart, sideboard, kitchen table, and more.

9. Firefighter-Themed Wine Charms

With eight different designs decorating each of these natural cork charms, these firefighter-themed wine charms are a fun and easy way to differentiate stemmed glassware at a get-together! Each guest chooses which design will represent them and simply attaches the correlating charm to their glass. No more swapping glassware! After the party, the charms detach easily and can be washed without worry. Made of all-natural cork and thin (yet durable) wires.

10. Fireman’s Leather Koozie

Great firefighter retirement gifts are ones that they’ll use again and again. Our hand-tooled top-grain leather koozie is just such an item! Handcrafted with the best materials, this koozie is then lined with neoprene to keep bottles and cans at the perfect temperature. This oil-tanned leather was sourced and crafted in the USA, keeping your firefighter’s hands dry in style. Slips easily into a backpack, briefcase, glove box, and more. They’ll love the embossed design!

11. Engraved Beer Mug (Set of Two)

Looking for a great gift for the beer-loving firefighter? Our engraved beer mugs are the answer. Handcrafted of 100% lead-free borosilicate glass, these mugs are built to last. They feature durable rims and sturdy bottoms as well as a handle that just won’t quit. These two mugs in the set are also perfectly sized for any style of beer, whether your recipient loves pilsners, IPAs, porters, or any other kind of beer imaginable.

12. Personalized Round Bar Sign

If you have a longer message to customize on a bar sign than just their name, this personalized round bar sign is for you. With room for two lines of bespoke text (up to 25 characters each), this acacia wood bar sign can sport a more detailed message. The sustainably-harvested acacia wood has a variable grain, so no two bar signs will be exactly alike. Our artisans are happy to work with you to bring your vision to life!

13. Thin Red Line Murphy Bar

We love to offer a variety of designs for our most popular items, including our Murphy bar. The firefighter in your life has plenty of options, including this Thin Red Line-themed bar. With several nooks and shelves, they’ll be able to store away their glassware, bar tools, decanters, and bottles. Don’t worry: they’re all still easily accessible! The front door swings down to become a bar top where they can mix their drinks before securely closing again. What a useful gift!

14. Fire Extinguisher Mini Bar

Not all firefighter retirement gifts have to be serious! Some of them can be a little cheeky, like this fire extinguisher mini bar. Made from a steel cylinder that was designed for a real fire extinguisher, the mini bar holds a shelf for a standard-sized liquor bottle as well as three whiskey tumblers. It also comes with a wall mount – just be sure it’s kept away from the real fire extinguisher in their home!

15. Engraved Exquisite Glassware (Set of Two)

Provide them with a little luxury while they enjoy a cold drink with a set of two engraved glasses from our Exquisite line of glassware. Featuring the Maltese Cross, these ten-ounce whiskey tumblers are a perfect size and shape for all kinds of libations. So whether they enjoy lemonade, a pull of whiskey, or a fancy cocktail, they’ll want to drink from these expertly-crafted glasses again and again. With two in a set, they’ll never have to drink alone.

16. American Firefighter Bullet-Shaped Bottle Opener

No one wants to fiddle with a cut-rate bottle opener, especially when it’s the only thing standing between them and a nice cold drink! No – instead, they’d much prefer a high-quality, unique bottle opener like this bullet-shaped bottle opener. Embossed with a firemen’s crest and painted a bright crimson, this distinctive bottle opener is an eye-catching and effective bar tool! Everyone who sees it will want one of their own.

17. Maltese Cross Coasters (Set of Four)

Coasters are a dime a dozen but unfortunately, truly well-made coasters are a little more difficult to come by. Our master craftsmen take pride in their hand-cut, carved, and engraved acacia wood coasters that protect your wood furnishings from damaging watermarks. The material is naturally water-resistant, so it’s perfect for decorating and preserving your furniture! These unique coasters can be customized with up to two lines of personalized text (maximum 25 characters each).
