Christmas is fast approaching, and like everyone else, you're probably busy looking for gifts for your loved ones too. Now we all know the best gifts to give are the ones that are related to what your gift's recipient is passionate about. So if you have a boat owner on your list, here are some suggestions on what gifts to give him or her: 1. Boating gear. For sure, your boat-loving friends already have their own boating shoes and boating hats and the like. But the thing is, when you're at sea, you never know what could get lost - or wet. When such unfortunate events happen, it would be good for your friend to have some spare gear in store, so he or she will never have to go hatless on a hot marine afternoon. 2. Boat owner's kit. We all know how much the owners of expensive cars love to clean and polish and fiddle with their cars, right? How much more obsessed, do you think, would the owner of a boat be? Boat owners definitely like to keep their boats all clean and shiny and in humming condition. A kit that contains all the necessary tools to help them maintain the beauty of their prized possession will certainly make them happy. 3. Boater's logbook. A logbook is a must-have for every boat owner - it is something that boat owners use every day. So naturally, the logbook runs out of pages and will eventually need to be replaced. When that day comes, an elegant, sturdy, monogrammed logbook that you've given as a gift will surely put a smile on your boater friend's face several times a day for many, many days to come. 4. Sextant. Today, almost all boat owners use a global positioning system (GPS) as their main tool for navigation. But remember, everything can break in a boat, even an expensive and newly bought GPS. When the GPS fails, a sextant - a hardy centuries-old tool used by mariners for navigating the seas using celestial bodies - will prove very useful for your boat owner friend. It could serve as a back-up device for techie boat owners and as a main tool for the traditional ones. Either way, it is a beautiful classic gift for boat owners and will always be appreciated. 5. High-quality life vest and whistle. A new life vest given as a gift to your boater friend is a clear way of letting him or her know you care. It doesn't matter if your friend already has one; you can never really have too many life vests, especially if you take on passengers on your boat. Incidentally, you may also want to include a new whistle, which your friend can use to call the attention of other boaters when help is needed. 6. New anchor and dock lines. After years of use, a boat's anchor and dock lines usually show wear, and that's not a good thing. Worn out lines could break; that could cause a huge headache to the boat owner, especially if he or she has no marine insurance. Of course, anchors and dock lines can cost a good amount of money - but considering the usefulness of this gift, it will be worth every penny. Author Bio : Boat insurance UK from Velos Insurance.
