The best Father’s Day gifts made by veterans

In continuation with the complete catastrophe that is 2020, voters on both sides of the aisle agree Father's Day 2020 official theme to be, "Sorry we forgot, this gift had express shipping."

We're just kidding, but you're welcome for reminding you that Sunday, June 21 is Father's Day. Since we all know you forgot, we've compiled a list so good that you won't even mind paying the extra to get it there in time.

For the veteran

CBD oil

Yea, we went big and bold out of the gate, but for good reason. CBD products legalized by the Farm Bill have been destigmatized over the last few years. When the carpool moms are doing it, you know it's pretty legit. Veteran-owned CBD companies like Patriot Supreme are advocating for non-narcotic options as a better alternative for pain, anxiety and all kinds of other benefits we won't make claims for here. Military life ages the body at warp speed, so do your veteran a favor by offering some relief.

Beard oil

The first step in becoming the iconic "vet-bro" is to grow yourself a mighty fine beard. How does a modern military man call himself one without? Whether they've got an Abe Lincoln, chin curtain, (these are legit, we promise) or are in the infantile stages of some stubble, do their face a favor with some premium product like from Warlord.

For the brand

Entrepreneurship or the fast-growing area of solopreneurship is as American as it gets. The fight, the grind and the ridiculous amount of grit it takes to run your own business, especially on the heels of steady government paychecks from military life is tough. But tough doesn't stop veterans. If yours is even remotely considering this route, you can't go wrong with the suggestions below. Bonus points here since these options can be "ordered" at 11:59 the day before without looking sloppy.

For the service member 

Statement pieces

Repurposing military surplus materials into high quality, durable travel or duffel bags and more is the kind of awesome Sword Plough is all about. Repurposed .50 cal casings made into money clips make a damn fine conversation starter and something dapper for all their new beard oil you ordered.

Local flavor

There's one thing you can't go wrong with this Father's Day and that's trying something new backed by hundreds of raving reviews. If you haven't already, try using the store locator feature and grabbing a bottle of Mutt's Sauce, the universal flavor loved across generations and oceans alike. Charlie "Mutt" Ferrell, Jr's legacy is still alive today thanks to his granddaughter and Air Force Veteran, Charlynda.

Natural products…to combat all the unknown MRE ingredients they eat

Doc Spartan has exploded since their appearance on Shark Tank. Their line of natural first aid ointments and sprays should be a go-bag staple for any military member. While you're at it, check out their lineup of natural, aluminum-free deodorants called "armpit armor."

Recordable storybooks

What is often gifted to kids is actually a great option for Father's Day too. Gifting fathers with a prerecorded favorite read in the voices of their children is a deeply personal choice. Most books can be re-recorded to accommodate for growing families over the years.
