Cool boat gear and nautical gift ideas for smaller or inexpensive stocking stuffer presents for the boater on your Christmas gift list
Whether you are looking for a useful boat gear idea to make boating easier or more convenient, or you just want to get a fun nautical themed gift, these are great add-on stocking stuffer ideas you can buy for a boater.
A polished brass bottle opener is handy for use on the boat (if you have a good place to mount it) or at home for use at a nautical themed bar. For less than $20 it comes complete with a nice blue gift box from West Marine!This suction handle is definitely "handy" on a boat with many uses... its great for steadying yourself to clean a boat hull while anchored out, and it also works great for an extra boarding handle that you can easily attach anywhere on a fiberglass boat for extra support boarding. For only $15 at West Marine it is a very useful gift for any boater!
LifeProof Case for iPhone 4/4S - Retail Packaging - Black
If you have an iPhone and use it on a boat, then its a smart thing to have a waterproof case for your smart phone. The LifeProof Case is only $40 on Amazon and protects your phone against shock, dust and water - you can even go swimming with it! (I've seen several boaters accidentially jump in the water with their iPhone still in their pocket!) It also comes in 8 cool colors. If you upgraded to an iPhone 5, they also make a Lifeproof Case for iPhone 5
for $80 in a variety of colors too.
Fred and Friends Gin and Titonic Ice Cube Tray
For only $9 on Amazon, this fun ice cube tray creates little "Titanic" boats and icebergs for your drinks. A fun stocking stuffer idea or a great little gift for your host.
Speedtech Instruments Skymate Wind Meter
A great little gadget for boaters, paddlers, hang gliders or other outdoor sport enthusiasts, you can get wind speed and temperature readings on the LED display of this wind meter that includes a lanyard and lithium battery. On sale for the 2012 holiday season at West Marine for $79 (regularly $98)
A mini version of the popular Lewmar's Delta Anchor in a stainless steel bottle opener. An inexpensive and fun gift for a boater available at West Marine for $20 (on sale in December 2012 for $14)
This key buoy is WAY cooler than the ugly foam floaties they give away at the local beer store. If your keys fall in the water it inflates a 14" bright orange marker tube that extends out of the water for easy pick-up. You may want to pick up a few if you have 2 engine keys on-board. Great bargain for only $7.99 at West Marine.
Hides H2O Floating Eyewear Retainer and Case
These H2O eyewear retainers are more than just sunglass straps... they are made of high buoyancy neoprene tubing and fit securely in place
on your sunglass frame. Best of all if you drop them in the water they float! Available in several different colors on Amazon for only $10-12 depending on the color you choose.
Two-in-One Grab and Go Slip-On Coasters and Wine Charms Set of 6. Wine Glass Markers, Glass ID Coasters
For your wine lover on-board, LOVE this idea of non-slip wine glass coasters. They slide onto the bottom of your wine glass (good for real or acrylic wine glasses) to keep them from sliding when you set them down on a cockpit table. The colors also work great to remember which glass belongs to you! Only $10.99 on Amazon.
Nautical Theme Wine Glass Charms
Very cool nautical themed wine glass charms to mark glasses. These are beautifully hand-crafted and make a great gift for on the boat or at home. Buy them on Amazon for $21.99.
Reusable Vinyl Drink Labels - Nautical Flag Theme By MyDrinkLabel
Another fun way to mark your drink, these reusable labels stick onto any surface - like a beer bottle or a wine glass. The nautical flag theme with different messages like "I require assistance" make them a lot of fun to use having drinks with friends. Only $7.99 on Amazon.
