The last thing any military family needs is more stuff…can we get an AMEN?! If you’re a minimalist at heart or just simply looking to prevent any more clutter or waste, the best gift you can give your partner is an experience and we’ve got some good ideas below to get those idea wheels turning!
Cooking class
If he’s been itching to scratch that culinary itch, this is a gift that benefits both him and you! If cooking isn’t really his thing but he appreciates a good bite to eat, book a tasting at a fancy restaurant he’s been eager to try.
Cigar rolling class
Do you know what’s cooler than smoking a stogie? Rolling your own first, then smoking it! Trust us when we say, he’ll be talking about this experience for a while. If you need a place to store the products of his new obsession – we love THIS travel humidor so he can share his new talent with others!
At-Home Cocktail Making Class
Some areas hold these at the local cocktail bar but it can be even more fun to pick a drink or two to create at home! If you are looking for a book to support all your boozy adventures, we can’t recommend THIS book enough!
Golf trip
Find a cool spot that does a stay-and-play package, link up with some of his buddies’ wives and send them all away on a weekend together! We know that Pinehurst has super affordable packages for the “off-season” and weather that can’t be beat.
Fishing with a Guide
Military couples often find themselves in new locations every few years and sometimes your guy just wants to hear all the tips and tricks from a local about your current fishing culture! Plus, if you tag along, you won’t have to tie your own lures!
New Activity Membership
Is there a local climbing gym nearby, ski mountain or a fitness app that has membership programs? What a gift and a way to head into the new year with access to a new hobby!
Skydiving
For the adventure junkie himself! This is an experience that anyone who has done it has walked away from encouraging others to try because it’s THAT incredible.
