Gifts for a Pilot
6th May 2022
If you want to buy a pilot friend, relative, or colleague a gift, the choice is not always easy. This is because you will be trying to buy two gifts in one in that you will not only be trying to please the recipient, but you will also be trying to please yourself. Want some help with this tricky choice? Below are a few proven ideas for the perfect gift.
You can never go wrong with a classy mug. We use mugs several times each day, and your pilot friend will think of you whenever they see the mug. Other than serving as a receptacle for a hot beverage like tea or cocoa, a mug can be used for storing pens and pencils or paintbrushes in, you can use it to measure ingredients like flour for recipes, you can turn it into a planter for herbs, and it can hold jewelry, among many other uses. A “Just Wing It” mug features a cool artistic airplane, letting everyone know they are talking to a pilot the moment they see it. This 2-tone mug comes in either black or royal blue, both with white paint.
10-inch Airspeed Indicator Wall Clock
A wall clock is both functional and decorative. Other than telling time, a wall clock also complements any decor and enhances the beauty of a plain wall. Planes have many instruments – the 3060 Series 10″ Airspeed Indicator Wall Clocks are designed to closely resemble flight instruments. The wall clocks come in the actual shapes of aircraft instruments, and the dials are also very realistic. These Canada-made clocks feature Quartz Clock Movement, and they run on a single AA battery.
Any pilot or aviation enthusiast will love a stuffed pilot bear. This is a gift that the recipient can use in different ways and places and can be enjoyed by his/her entire family. Did you know that studies have shown that stuffed animals bring a sense of security during times of change, help ease loneliness, help in the grieving process, help in "re-parenting" following a traumatic experience, and generally improve mental health? A 10-inch Stuffed Pilot Bear makes for the perfect gift for a pilot. The bear, which is available in dark brown and beige, is dressed in open-cockpit attire, complete with a “leather” jacket, goggles, a helmet, and a scarf. The head, arms, and legs of this cute bear move.
A business card holder positively draws attention. It shows the traditional business culture and refined tastes. An Airplane Business Card Holder will fit perfectly on the desk of any aviator. The silver 3 x 3 3/4 x 1 1/2 cardholder features several airplane design elements, including a "wing" to hold the cards and an airplane model at the top.
Other gifts worth considering include Aircraft Mechanics “Try Flying Without Us” 20oz Tumblers, “AV8R” Travel Mugs, and “Aviator Bear” Mini Backpack. At fallonpilotshop.com, we have all these and more.
