Gifts That Are Built to Impress
Civil engineers don’t just build bridges—they build better ways to solve problems, fix chaos, and drink coffee while doing it. That’s why their gifts shouldn’t be basic. They should be practical, unexpected, and designed with the same level of detail they bring to every blueprint. From meat bouquets to gear-packed ammo cans, these gifts are built for function, fun, and a little post-project celebration. They’re rugged, clever, and way more exciting than another mug with the word “engineer” on it.
No gimmicks—just gifts that hold up under pressure.
The One That Checks Every Box
Beef Jerky Flower Bouquet & Beer Mug
It’s perfectly engineered: a bouquet made of premium jerky, paired with a heavy-duty beer mug that says “I know what I’m doing.” Every stem is snackable, handcrafted from savory beef jerky sticks arranged in a keepsake beer mug. The mug’s ready for the first pour after a long day on-site, and the combo makes this feel equal parts gift and reward. Practical, funny, and 100% edible—it’s the blueprint for a memorable holiday. Engineers don’t expect flowers, but this one’s hard to beat.
The Card That’s Technically Edible
It’s a greeting card made of beef jerky, and yes, it’s just as ridiculous and awesome as it sounds. Using our in-house laser machines, your personal message—whether blueprints, inside jokes, or “thanks for not letting the bridge fall”—is engraved onto a 4" x 9", 1.8 oz slab of 100% edible beef jerky. Each card is vacuum sealed for freshness and made to order in California. It’s practical in the most impractical way, which makes it unforgettable. Slide it into a toolbox, drop it on a desk, or gift it during a project milestone. It’s the kind of thing an engineer keeps.
The Gift That Could Survive a Construction Zone
The Best Jerky Ammo Can Gift Basket
This gift box comes inside a genuine military-style steel ammo can and includes a full lineup of premium jerky snacks—seven total in bold, crave-worthy flavors. It’s sturdy, snack-loaded, and practically indestructible—just like the guy you're buying it for. Once the jerky’s gone, the ammo can is perfect for tool storage, site essentials, or emergency snacks. This isn’t a cute basket—it’s a celebration of structural taste. Ideal for big promotions, project finishes, or “you crushed it” moments.
The Deal That Speaks Their Language
The MOTHERLOAD (15 Bags of Jerky)
Fifteen full-size bags of jerky. That’s not a snack—it’s inventory. This massive assortment features a variety of Manly Man Co.’s signature jerky flavors, giving plenty of options without needing a redesign. Perfect for civil engineers who think in bulk, calculate efficiency, and snack like they’ve got a deadline. For the engineer who builds big, give big.
The Tool They Didn't Know They Needed
The Official MAN CARD (Bottle Opener)
Tough, compact, and laser-cut to fit in a wallet, this stainless steel bottle opener doubles as a badge of honor. It’s engraved with “MAN CARD,” which they’ve earned just from working in concrete and steel. The size of a credit card, it’s always on hand for post-shift beverages. Functional and funny—exactly the kind of gift you can slip into a lunchbox or stocking. It opens beers and starts conversations. Just like any great design, it’s simple and smart.
