What would be a good Christmas gift for volunteer firefighters?

I am President of the Board of Directors for my local volunteer fire department. Every year we have a recognition holiday dinner, and the Board gives something "useful" to the firefighters as a Christmas gift. In the past we've done t-shirts, long sleeve t-shirts, Leatherman multi-tools, hoodies, sweatshirts, polos, jackets, etc. What would be a unique, useful gift to give the firefighters that costs between $18 and $25 each?

What would be a good Christmas gift for volunteer firefighters?
I'm a hospital volunteer, and some of the really useful things we've received as gifts are:





A flashlight that has a regular beam on the top end, a red flashing light along one side, and a strong magnet on the bottom end





A small travel clock/calendar/calculator that you press the corner of the cover and it slowly opens and swings around behind to become the stand for the piece





One of those flat, round, battery-powered lights you push the curved plastic white lens to turn on and off ... it sits on a table or hangs on a wall - very useful by the bed at night, or in the bathroom when you need light but don't want to turn on a bright overhead light!!





A lidded thermal cup that fits in the car's cupholder





Passes for two to a local theatre





An Entertainment coupon book





A nifty combo sewing/first aid kit





A compact umbrella that opens up full size. Great for keeping under the front car seat in case of unexpected rain.





A fleece throw that rolls up and has a handle - logo on the flap that holds it when it's rolled up.





A calendar for the upcoming year ... made with photos of us in action ... or you could have them submit photos, artwork, etc. for use on the calendar (If you wanted the calendar to be a surprise, you could have them submit such items for a "contest.") I think they had them made at the local Office Max or Office Depot.





One of those emergency tools to keep in the car ... you can use it to break glass or cut seatbelts in case of an accident ... can be attached to the dashboard or door panel for quick access.





An insulated lunch bag with a drawstring pouch on the side for water bottle/beverage container








Everything that we've received has either had the organization's logo, etc. printed on it, or else a specially-printed sticker with logo, date, and something like "In appreciation for your time and service", etc.





Below are a couple of websites that have this kind of stuff. I know you can find something that will be just perfect!

Reply:How about a catered meal to each squad? I am sure you can find a personal chef or a local restaurant that would cut you a deal for such a good cause. You could have the squad pick the menu for there turn. Sounds like you are a great President and very thoughtful. I like her ideas too ^ . Especially the entertainment book-those are great and I am sure they would use them, plus you could probably find a student who is selling them to raise money for their school-you would make their year! Good luck!
