For Him
Is shopping for the man in your life hard? Are you not sure how to nail the perfect gift? Look no further — Skip’s Customs offers a variety of handmade products perfect for any man in your life. From customized flags to concealment cabinets and benches, the Skips' team works to ensure each customer’s story is properly portrayed through unique artwork to fit their personality. Their products come in a variety of sizes including small (9.75"x16"), medium (13"x 24") and large (19.5"x 36") with prices ranging from $90 to $450. The shop started when veteran Joe Mawad created custom going away gifts for fellow servicemen who were either changing duty stations or retiring from the military. After coming to Texas A&M, his business demand increased and the company began participating in the DOD SkillBridge program, enabling the business to take on interns all of whom are in their last six months of service to help with the transition out of military life.
