First Responder FrostBuddy can coolers with red, blue, white, silver, gold and camo thin line flags

Christmas Gifts for Firefighters, Police, EMS and Dispatchers (From a Firefighter)

Station 2 is run by a career firefighter, so first responder gifts are personal for us. Here's what actually gets used on shift and at home, not what ends up in a drawer. Everything below is engraved in our shop in Marquette Heights, Illinois, with a name, a badge number, a unit or a station.

The First Responder FrostBuddy

Our most popular gift. The First Responder FrostBuddy is a flag can cooler with a thin colored line: red for firefighters, blue for police, white for EMS, gold for dispatch, silver for corrections and camo for the armed forces. We engrave a name or badge number right on the line. It fits standard cans, slim cans, bottles and 16oz cans, so it works for whatever they drink after shift.

Tools they'll actually carry

  • Engraved rescue knife: spring-assisted blade, seatbelt cutter and glass breaker, gift boxed, with their name or unit engraved on the handle in a crisp white finish.
  • Engraved trauma shears: a small, practical gift for medics, nurses and EMTs, and a good stocking stuffer.

For the station or the whole shift

  • Firefighter flag tumbler: a distressed flag and axe design with a name underneath.
  • Custom patch hats with a department, station or shift patch, engraved or full color.
  • Ordering for a whole crew? List every name in the personalization box, separated by commas, and we'll match the engraving to the quantity. Buy 6 or more FrostBuddies and save $5 each, applied automatically.

Retirements, promotions and academy graduations

These make good keepsakes year-round. Add a date, a rank or years of service. For department orders or a logo you'd like engraved, email info@station2.cc or call (309) 340-1918.
