What's a good gift for a friend graduating high school and planning to join the military? Need something practical yet sentimental.
A thoughtful gift for your high school graduate friend who's planning to join the military could be something that caters to their new journey, while also providing a sentimental touch of home. A high quality, reliable and durable wristwatch could be one such gift. It's a practical gift for someone in the military life where punctuality is imperative, and can also hold sentimental value as a token from a dear friend.
Another idea could be a personalized dog tag. The dog tag can bear their name and important information, but can also include a heartfelt message on the back.
You might want to consider a multi-tool or a high-quality tactical flashlight, both of which would be very practical in military life.
For a sentimental touch, a nice photo album or picture frame with a favorite picture of you two or a group of friends could remind them of home and provide comfort and a sense of belonging.
A journal could also be a great gift, allowing them to document their journey and experiences which can serve as a great keepsake in the future.
Remember, whatever you choose, ensure it complies with military regulations to not cause any difficulties for your friend.
