Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Your Firefighter

Stocking Stuffer Ideas for Your Firefighter

Here is a list of a few stocking stuffer ideas that you can tell Santa all about. Maybe he will put some in your Firefighter’s stocking! I am going to make this really easy on Santa because all of these items have links to just one site – Amazon. I am pretty sure the vast majority of us all have Amazon Prime for free shipping and I bet the Big Man does too! There are numerous different vendors of each of these items so don’t forget to look around and see who has the best deal (and don’t forget check how the item is rated for quality before buying). Hopefully, this list will give you a starting point for cool and useful items that can easily be added to a Firefighter’s stocking.

Stocking Stuffer Items under $15.00

Personal Rescue Car Escape Tool to hang from your turn out coat – (from resqme available on Amazon from $8.90 and up)

Apparently most Firefighters don’t like the color pink because it is the cheapest version by a few dollars where as the other colors are just a tad higher in price or already sold out. I love this little tool because it can hang from my PPE. I don’t have to go back to the fire apparatus to find the department furnished center punch. It has an integrated, stainless steel window punch to quickly break out windows and cutter blade that allows you slice through seat belts. As cheap as these are, they also make a good gift to give several members of your crew.

Glove Strap (from Lightning X Products- available on Amazon for $8.99 and free PRIME shipping)

It is easy to keep track of your gloves when they are strapped to your PPE. There are many versions of glove straps. Some are from synthetic materials and some are made from leather. The leather ones are customizable and you’ve got to love that! However, anything customizable requires more lead time before Christmas as well as cost a little more. This strap does the job for under $10. That leaves more money in Santa’s wallet for other cool firefighting tools!
