Stocking Stuffers For Police Officers That Actually Get Used

Short answer: The best stocking stuffer for a police officer is a 4 oz Arrest My Vest spray, because it fits in a duty bag or glove box and gets used every shift. For more variety, the On The Go 3 Pack, a Mini Turbo Laundry Booster, a box of Laundry Detergent Sheets, and car air fresheners all fit in a stocking too.

Why do so many stocking stuffers end up in a drawer?

Stocking stuffers are supposed to be the fun part of the holidays. Too often, though, they turn into novelty items that get a laugh on Christmas morning and then disappear into a junk drawer by New Year's.

For officers, the problem is even bigger. They do not need another keychain or coffee mug with a badge on it. What they do need is help with the one thing that follows them home after every shift: gear that smells like the job.

The best stocking stuffer is small, useful, and something your officer will reach for long after the tree comes down. Every item on this list fits that description.

What are the best stocking stuffers for police officers?

A 4 oz Arrest My Vest spray

The 4 oz spray is the classic stocking stuffer. It fits easily in a stocking, then moves straight into a duty bag, locker, or patrol car console. Your officer can reset the vest, boots, or car seat anywhere, anytime. It comes in all six fragrances: Midnight, Driftwood, Night Shift, Daybreak, Stressless, and Unscented.

The On The Go 3 Pack

If one small bottle is good, three is better. The On The Go 3 Pack includes three 4 oz sprays in the fragrances of your choice. Your officer can keep one in the car, one in the duty bag, and one in the locker, so there is always a bottle within reach.

A Mini Turbo Laundry Booster

The Mini Turbo Laundry Booster is an 8 oz bottle that goes into the wash with regular detergent and eliminates odor from uniforms, base layers, and gym clothes. It is a great way to let your officer try the laundry side of Arrest My Vest, and it fits perfectly in the toe of a stocking.

Laundry Detergent Sheets

A box of Laundry Detergent Sheets slides into a stocking because it comes flat packed. Each box holds 30 pre measured sheets, good for up to 60 loads. The sheets are unscented and work in standard and HE machines, which makes them easy to toss in a gym bag or take on a trip.

Car air fresheners

Arrest My Vest car air fresheners come in Midnight and Night Shift. The Buy 3 Get 3 Free deal gives you six, which is enough to split between a few stockings or keep one officer stocked for months.

The Sample Bundle

The Sample Bundle pairs a 4 oz spray with an 8 oz Mini Turbo Laundry Booster. It covers the gear and the laundry in one small package.

The Super Sample Bundle

The Super Sample Bundle includes two 4 oz sprays and two Mini Turbo Laundry Boosters. It is enough to fill most of a stocking on its own.

Want to fill the whole stocking at once?

The 4 oz Sampler Set includes a 4 oz bottle in all five Arrest My Vest fragrances plus Unscented. Tuck them in one at a time, and your officer gets to unwrap a new scent with every reach into the stocking. It is also the easiest way to find out which fragrance your officer likes best before you buy a bigger bottle.

How does such a small bottle handle such big odors?

The 4 oz spray uses the same formula as every other Arrest My Vest size. It is powered by OAM Technology, which stands for Odor Absorbing Molecules. These molecules attach to odor particles and neutralize them at the molecular level, so the smell is eliminated instead of covered up.

The spray works instantly on contact, with no drying time and no waiting. It is nontoxic, enzyme free, K9 safe, residue free, and safe for body armor. The bottle is small, but the formula is full strength.

Which fragrance should go in the stocking?

If you know your officer likes a warm, deep scent, Midnight is a reliable pick. Driftwood is fresh and coastal, Night Shift blends bergamot and vanilla musk, Daybreak is bright and citrusy, and Stressless is soft and floral. If you are unsure, Unscented eliminates odor without adding any fragrance at all.

Can a stocking stuffer keep giving after the holidays?

It can. Subscribe & Save lets you set up automatic deliveries, so new bottles keep arriving on a schedule. Your officer never has to worry about the 4 oz in the glove box running empty.

Why do officers keep coming back to Arrest My Vest?

Arrest My Vest was built by a chemical engineer who spent more than 20 years leading fabric care development, because ordinary products were never designed for duty gear. More than 1 million bottles have been sold to police, military, corrections, and first responder families.

One small bottle in a stocking is an easy way to find out why.
