Something Sweet

It’s easy to grab some sweets for your sweet. There are warm cuddly sweatshirts and sweatpants and a range of accessories that make every heart happy. Here are some of our top picks for some sweet gifts.

Pretty in Pink or Grey: These toddler heart dresses look adorable, and you’ll also love knowing that they’re made well too. Constructed with 100% cotton (grey has polyester too), they feature ruched sleeves for an of-the-moment yet classic look. The hearts are fun and the white polka dots sweeten the deal. She’ll love the flouncy skirt and the USNA pride!

Modern Wine Glasses: For your next picnic or special meal together, get this set of 2 stemless wine glasses with etched crests. They’re a touch of elegance that pairs well with a romantic dinner, casual night in or a Navy win celebration. Beautiful and practical, they’re a gift that can’t miss.

Something Shiny: Everyone loves a bauble or treat now and then. Make them feel special with pretty earrings and other jewelry that show some bling. Or give them that present that they’ll never get for themselves. When it comes with a Navy twist, they’ll be thrilled to show it off!

Golden Opportunity: The Brielle Navy necklace is 17” of golden Navy love. This delicate piece of jewelry dresses up everything from a basic t-shirt to a stylish sweater. Your Navy devotee will adore having a keepsake piece of jewelry that shows their loyalties. It’s just the right gift for Valentine’s Day—or any day you want to wow them.

A Personal Purse: Not only is the Kara crossbody Purse Go Navy purse infinitely practical for home games (it’s stadium approved), it’s also made from butter-soft vegan leather and boasts an easy-to-reach pocket for keeping everything organized. The size is wise at 6.5” wide by 4.5” high. A snap closure makes it a cinch to access, and the “Go Navy” lettering makes it irresistible.

Something Salty

What’s saltier than the sailor that weathered the sea? How about the gifts they’ll love? We’ve netted a number of finds that are 100% Navy for your favorite Navy fan. These are REAL Navy, not available outside the Yard, and always supporting the midshipmen. Show your Navy love!

Show It With a Sticker: Like the midshipman it honors, the I Heart My Mid Decal is built to last. It’s made to withstand any weather, so you can stick it on your SUV, your mountain bike or your skis—and let the world know how important your mid is to you.

Give Him a Bone: This whimsical bone magnet is a real treat. It can go on your car, your fridge, a lamp or wherever you want to have a little fun. Your dog will thank you for reading his mind!

Tie for the Win: The N* tradition is one of tremendous pride and history. Give him that and more with two 100% silk, fully lined and hand-printed ties in an N* tie boxed set in signature Navy blue and gold. He’ll love them both, and he’ll love showing his Go Navy spirit whenever he puts them on.
