When your true love is away serving our country, your support means everything. Reminders of your steadfast faith can give them the boost they need to remain strong and fulfill their duty of supporting our military forces.
These five gift ideas for your military boyfriend or girlfriend will warm their hearts, give them something to treasure while they are away from you, and remind them how much you love them, miss them, and, most of all, support them.

Even if your military girlfriend or boyfriend who has been deployed isn’t a creative type, they may still find comfort in writing down their experiences or sketching out things that inspire them. Who knows, they may even reveal their inner author or artist. This leather-bound journal is a thoughtful military gift and comes with blank pages, so they are free to fill the pages however they wish. Be sure to scatter in a few love letters and photos throughout the pages for them to find on their own as a special surprise.

Whether giving as a deployment going away gift or sending overseas, this metal photo card will tuck nicely into a card and straight into their wallet or pocket. This long distance relationship military gift is made of aluminum and won’t rip or fade like a photo. And you can have your own special message engraved on the back.
Homemade Care Package
Nothing will remind them of home quite like, well, items from home. Fill a box of all of their favorite things. And remember, even the smallest items can bring the biggest joy. Like his or her favorite body wash, homemade cookies, trail mix, and other baked goods, or the coffee they love so much. And throw in something that smells like you—your pillowcase or something scented with your perfume or aftershave. Familiar smells will conjure up the strongest memories of you. The sweetest gift of all.
