Your Friends Will (Should) Thank You

Nov 7, 2024

By sharing your love of boats with your relatives and friends, you are making their lives much easier. Even if they are not boaters themselves, you have made their holiday-giving season one gift simpler.  Picture it – they are going through their list…a sweater for Gramma, Lego for young Martha and what about John?  Oh, he’s (or she or whomever) is a boater. Let’s get something boat-y.

Piece of cake. All they need do is find something, anything, with an anchor on it and they have the ‘perfect gift’ nailed. They can relax just a bit knowing they have one gift selected and can go on to others. Oh, ‘she’s going to love it’…etc.

They don’t need to go too far – no need to get a ‘real’ boating accessory like a nav system or hand bearing compass. Anything with an anchor on it makes the cut. The have a month to go online where they will find a plethora of emblazoned items. (check yourself – the collection of anchor stuff is endless.)

Then when you open the package under the tree and find an anchor motif coffee mug or t-shirt you can tell them it’s just what you wanted and add it to your other anchor motif gifts. And you will have made it easy for everyone simply by being a boater.
