Security guards work nights, walk long rounds and watch a lot of quiet hours. A good light, a thermos and comfortable boots help most.
About our picks: We picked lights, warmth and foot comfort for night rounds, and left out anything that looks like a weapon, uniform or official gear, since employers and states set rules about those.
Gift ideas for a security guard
Gift tip: Skip anything that looks like a weapon or an official badge. Light, warmth and comfort are the safe picks. Buying for a coworker? See coworker gift ideas or Secret Santa ideas.
