If it an older boat, I like the seatow membership. You can even relabel it as a "Get out of Doh! free" card
The safety items are always something nobody wants to buy for themselves (a GPS always seems more fun than a live vest), and it also gives you the chance to help explain the importance of all and help find good storage/mounting spots for them all.
Just wondering if Iboats ,or ,say West Marine has a gift registry ??? This would work well for any occasion ......and it wouldn't limit the gift price for GENEROUS spenders....lol
the best gift i ever got, was a water proof, boat bag. registration, wallet, cell phone, extra key, handle held VHF, all goes into the bad. then it does not matter which boat i use, i just take the boat bag.
Thought of another one, and I didn't see it mentioned yet. Service manuals, for boat, engine and out drive. Everyone should have one if they do any of their own service. Another of those gifts that everyone needs, but always seem to forget to buy. Until they need it "now" and have to wait for it to show up from Amazon or Ebay.
