Whether you’ve checked off most of your shopping list for the season or still have some shopping to do, you’ll want to check our list of some of the best holiday gifts for your favorite USNA fans. These are the types of presents that never go out of style and always receive a big Go Navy! cheer of appreciation. Plus, you can feel twice as nice knowing that you’re giving to the midshipmen, too. The profits from Navyonline.com go directly back to the Brigade, so every gift you give also goes to the women and men serving our country as midshipmen. It’s a wonderful way to ring in the season!

Here are our favorite items available right now. Grab them today before they sell out!

Seasonal Surprises

The holidays are a time to gather with family and friends and keep our spirits warm even when the weather is not. Traditions abound—you’ll find festive food, over-the-top decorating, and plenty of holiday music in the air. It’s fun to add your Navy spirit to these celebrations. Here are some great ways to do it:

Stockings: Hang a few of these large stocking N*/snowflakes for your loved ones to find on the mantle. Their wintry design is whimsical, and they are gold, white and Go Navy all over. There’s a smaller version too! You could also pick up a velvety traditional holiday stocking in blue. It features an embroidered anchor and strong Navy pride. Stuff them both with goodies from the Yard to fill up on USNA spirit, or ship them to your midshipman with tantalizing goodies before they come home on break. They’re an easy and endearing way to say “Happy Holidays!”

Ornaments: Keepsakes like ornaments are always a special gift. This Naval Academy Christmas tree truck is a charming one reminding us of the annual hunt for the perfect tree. You can hang it on your tree or in a dorm room for good holiday cheer. The Navy pennant ornament is another instant classic. With a bold “Navy” marching across the pennant, it recalls every Navy football battle on the gridiron. The gold accents elevate it with holiday sparkle. There’s even a heart charm at the top. Both of these ornaments are sure to brighten your Navy fan’s holidays year after year.

Cozy Apparel
With the winter weather, we all crave hot chocolate and warm clothing. The holidays are a great time for a wardrobe refresh, and Navyonline has a number of new and classic items that will keep your Navy family toasty.

Sweatshirt: Grab a USMC lightweight hooded sweatshirt. This premium unisexhoodie is perfect for layering up or down. Perfect for the USMC supporter who likes to be outside no matter what weather, it’s a great way to champion the Marine Corps and stay comfortable. Super soft with a flattering fit, it will become their new go-to sweatshirt. Get it in gray with red accents for a striking look. Oohrah!

Pants: Suit up for a laid back weekend with this women’s flannel kingston pant. In festive red and black plaid, it’s marked with Navy big and bold. Uber comfortable, it’s a cozy fit for relaxing with a great book by the fire, watching the game from the couch, or puttering on a Sunday morning over pancakes. It has double-brushed softness and a comfortable folded waistband with twill drawcord. It also features pockets for extra convenience. Your Navy fan would love to find a pair of these under the tree!

Plus, you can never go wrong with USNA football gear. A Navy football sweatshirt, Navy football hoodie, or any type of Navy football merchandise can be a game changer for your list. Diehard fans love the latest in Navy football, as well as all other Navy gear, including Navy t-shirts and Navy sweatshirts that celebrate just about every Navy activity there is.

Showstoppers

Sometimes it’s fun to find a gift that’s so unexpected it spreads the joy of the holidays no matter the recipient’s age. 

Whiskey Box Gift Set: For an extra special gift this year, check out this whiskey box gift set with USNA crest. Beautifully constructed of solid oak with rustic nails, it has everything your whiskey lover needs to start their own holiday tradition, including a spot for their favorite 750mL whiskey bottle. The box also features six soapstone whiskey stones for the perfectly chilled drink, two stylish glass lowball glasses and two useful soapstone coasters. They’ll love the ritual of pulling this out for special occasions, or even for an average day. It’s the kind of gift that elevates every moment.
