Gifts for police officers

The gifts for police officers that get kept are the ones with the officer's own name on them, not a generic thin-blue-line print. Everything on this page is made to order with a name, a date or a short line; we do not reproduce badges, crests or department logos, because they belong to the department.

For the desk and the locker

• A desk mat ($38): 16 x 32 in with the name in the corner, for the report-writing desk nobody else decorates.
• A hardcover journal ($29) with the name on the cover: shift notes, court dates, the things that otherwise live on scraps of paper.

For the wall at home

• A framed photo (from $44) from academy graduation or the retirement walk-out, with the years of service as the caption line. The 11 x 14 is the one that gets hung in a hallway.
• The family name print ($44) with everyone's first names, for the household that works around the shift schedule.

For a retirement or a Christmas

• A metal ornament (from $23) with the family name and the year, and a name mug set ($49) for the break room or the kitchen.

Prices run from $23 to $69 before shipping. Production is 2 to 5 business days and US shipping about 4 to 7 days; each product page shows the order-by date for Christmas.
