18 Impressive Army Retirement Gifts

It’s a time to celebrate – the service member in your life is finally retiring! After years of sacrifice and dignified service to our country, the new veteran deserves a special retirement gift. At PrestigeHaus, we are proud to provide handmade, thoughtfully crafted gifts for all occasions. Our artisans use the finest materials to bring you treasures they’ll cherish for years to come.

We’re also proud supporters of our troops. All of our military items are officially licensed with the United States to display the branch’s emblems. A portion of the cost of each product goes to support our brave men and women.

Look no further – we’ve curated a list of 18 impressive Army retirement gifts that we’re confident will put a smile on their face!

1. Army Logo Beer Mug (Set of Two)

After a long career serving our country, he deserves some R&R. Kicking back with a cold beer sounds great, doesn’t it? Our Army Logo beer mug set lets him do just that in style. Made of lead-free borosilicate glass, the mugs are skillfully engraved with the Army logo to let everyone know about their sacrifice. With durable rims and bottoms, they’re sturdier than everyday mugs. They also feature useful handles to keep hands dry!

2. Eagle and Flag Decanter Set

Your whiskey-drinking veteran could use a classically eye-catching decanter for that favorite libation of theirs! Our artisans have taken the timeless 900ml square decanter and added a patriotic flag and eagle engraving, as well as room for your own personalized message (up to four lines). To complete the set, the decanter is flanked by two matching whiskey tumblers that can hold 10 ounces. They’ll love pouring their nightcap from this American decanter!

3. Whiskey Stones Gift Set

Relaxing with a cold drink is a great way to spend some time; unfortunately, that cold drink often becomes a watered-down mess thanks to melting ice. The solution? Reusable granite whiskey stones! These odorless, tasteless stones simply need a few hours in the freezer before using them in place of ice. No more diluted cocktails or watery drams. Comes with a wooden storage tray and two handmade whiskey glasses for optimum enjoyment.

4. Prestige Classic Wine Decanter

Looking for an elegant and stunning gift? Our Prestige Classic wine decanter fits the bill. With graceful lines and gleaming glass, this decanter is exactly what your veteran needs to best enjoy their wine. With plenty of room to allow a standard bottle of wine to breathe, our Prestige decanter is made with luxury and style in mind. It’s a future heirloom they’ll want to pass down through the family.

5. Leather Army Koozie

Fantastic Army retirement gifts encourage your veteran to kick back a little. What better way than with a premium leather koozie embossed with the Army emblem? Made of top-grain hand-tooled leather sourced from the finest tanneries, this koozie is then lined with neoprene to keep cans at the perfect temperature. Hands stay dry and drinks stay cold with this koozie! It slips easily into a back pocket, car console, beach bag, and more so they’re always ready to crack open a cool drink.

6. Barrel Stave Cigar Holder

Our skilled master craftsmen reclaimed retired bourbon- and wine-barrel staves to create this unique cigar and Glencairn glass holder for the distinguished among us. Simultaneously rustic and refined, the holder is a one-handed solution to two of life’s great pleasures: cigars and whiskey. It sports a groove for a cigar and a cutout for a classic Glencairn glass. Finally, the holder is accented with galvanized steel rescued from barrel hoops. This is a one-of-a-kind Army retirement gift!

7. Wilderness Navigation Flask

Veterans know the importance of traveling efficiently. This wilderness navigation flask packs a lot in its light package! A five-in-one tool, the flask first acts as a flashlight before its military-grade aluminum casing is disassembled into a glass-lined flask, a pair of collapsible shot glasses, a bottle opener, and a compass. What else could they possibly need, except something to fill the flask? They can enjoy their favorite spirit wherever they make camp for the night.

8. Army Emblem Ashtray

Remind them of their distinguished service with our expertly-crafted Army emblem ashtray. Complete with four grooves for cigars, this handsome ashtray features a large bowl for ash that proudly displays the Army logo. This is a great gift for the veteran that likes to share war stories over stogies with a few other veterans. They’ll love showing off this ashtray on their desk, in the entryway, or anywhere they enjoy the occasional cigar.

9. Rustic Silver Decanter Tags

Army vets are no strangers to uniformity. If all of their liquor is stored in matching decanters, then they need these rustic silver decanter tags to easily differentiate vodka from gin, whiskey from brandy, and bourbon from rum! With just one glance, anyone pouring themselves a drink from the tagged decanters will enjoy exactly the drink they’re expecting. The set comes with eight tags, all with adjustable chains to fit just about any decanter: vodka, gin, rum, tequila, brandy, scotch, bourbon, and whiskey.

10. Premium Zebrawood Ashtray

Far too many ashtrays are ugly, utilitarian bowls that get hidden away between uses. Not so with our premium zebrawood ashtray! Made of beautiful, exotic wood by our master craftsmen and polished to a high shine, this ashtray is one they’ll happily leave on display! With four grooves for sharing some great times together and a generously-sized bowl, the ashtray is perfect for parties. To top it all off, there’s a stunning cabochon stone bejewelling the center of this ashtray.

11. Charging Bull Decanter

They worked hard to protect this country, and now, their Army retirement gifts should reflect that tenacity and steadfastness. Our Charging Bull decanter is mouthblown of lead-free borosilicate glass by our master artisans, crafted with both colored and clear glass for a jaw-dropping effect. The 1000ml decanter holds over a full fifth of their favorite libation, all of which is kept fresh and pure thanks to our ground glass air-tight bottle stopper (the bull’s tail!).

12. Army Emblem Murphy Bar

Here’s another entry on our list that pays homage to the military’s discipline and efficiency. Our murphy bars are cabinet-style pieces of bar furniture that preserve precious floor real estate. Inside, the murphy bar has multiple shelves and cubbies for holding all kinds of bottles, decanters, bar tools, and more. The door folds down easily to create a bar top, useful for pouring and mixing drinks. This one in particular features a beautifully designed 3D metal Army emblem on the front. When finished, the door shuts securely thanks to the strong magnets our craftsmen use.

13. Spirits Infuser

Now that they’re retired, they have more time on their hands to explore their creative side. Let their inner mixologist have some fun with this copper-colored spirits infuser. Made of the finest materials, the infuser comes with an easy-to-use filter to hold the ingredients of your choice as well as a reservoir for a complementing liquor. Simply fill both the filter and reservoir, allow the two to marinade together for as little or as much time as desired, and before you know it you have your own bespoke cocktail! Also available in silver.

14. Army Logo Wall-Mounted Bottle Opener

While handheld bottle openers are useful little tools, they often go missing. Rather than hunt around for a bottle opener each time you want to crack open a cold one, mount an engraved bottle opener to the wall for easy, predictable access! This wall-mounted bottle opener is engraved with the Army logo for added style and pride. Made for Americans by Americans, you’ll love knowing exactly where you can open up a bottle any time you want.

15. Classic Monogrammed Whiskey Glass (Set of Two)

You can’t go wrong with a monogrammed gift, and as far as Army retirement gifts go, this classic monogrammed whiskey glass set is a sure bet to make a veteran smile. Handblown of 100% lead-free borosilicate glass, this set features durable bottoms and thicker rims, equipping them with the sturdiness to withstand frequent use. They are then engraved in-house with bold type to display that special veteran’s monogram. This set is a welcome addition to any glassware collection!

16. Italian Duo Wine Gift Box

Looking for another kind of classic gift? You can’t go wrong with a tasty and boozy Italian wine gift box! This beauty comes with two bottles of wine as well as a variety of tasty treats meant to send your receipt to the Italian countryside without ever updating your passport. The snacks pair perfectly with both the Alverdi Cabernet Sauvignon as well as the Alverdi Pinot Grigio! The set comes packaged in a gorgeous gift box that can continue to be used after all the delicious items inside have been enjoyed.

17. Barrel Stave Flight Rack

Our artisans have done it again with this barrel stave flight rack! Using reclaimed barrel staves, they crafted a unique and decorative way to display gorgeous Glencairn glasses for whiskey, scotch, and bourbon evaluation. Taste three expressions of the same spirit side by side using this rack for a truly special evening of contemplation and enjoyment. The glasses are specially designed to concentrate the nuances and complexities of the libation for a deeper understanding of all the liquor has to offer.

18. Personalized Army Emblem Bar Tray

Last but not least, one of our favorite Army retirement gifts is a beautiful and useful bar tray. Made of water- and stain-resistant acacia wood, our bar trays are handcrafted by our woodworkers in Kentucky. The tray is then etched in-house with the US Army logo and includes room for your own message to the lucky veteran (up to two lines). They can use the tray to serve cocktails, display bottles, or organize small daily items like mail and keys.
