Cyborg Ninja

A display like Cynthetiq's example is best, at least for ribbons and medals. And then you'd put it up on the wall, so it's a good idea.

Willravel's idea is also good and what came to my mind at first. Glass is good, or you can also try acrylic. I haven't found anything that cheap yet. Again like Willravel said, you can get a nice piece of oak furniture that opens up, called an armoire, that is mostly nowadays used as entertainment centers. It can have extra room in it for you to display what you have.

If you don't have enough money right now, you can try using anchors and hanging things on them. They easily screw into drywall. Of course, you'd have a lot of holes in the wall afterward. You could also get a piece of wood, sand it down and finish it, add some nice, decorative curves and add your things to it. I imagine there's something you can screw or nail into the wood, and then hang your medals and ribbons on without damaging them by directly using nails.
