Help Needed!

My wife’s birthday is February 23rd and I’m the worst at coming up with gifts. Since there’s not much to do but boat when the time comes, what can you guys recommend for women on the boat?? Something that she can enjoy and not put her to work, LoL!

A toy

@Handymans342 , LoL! Remember we have 2 girls 1 1/2 and 3 1/2 . They will most likely be with us 24/7. Or did you mean a float or two??

The admiral just said boating jewelry.  Like, an anchor necklace.

Good wine works well.

A drink recipe book???

aero3113

Thanks @Dream_Inn but she already has a nice diamond anchor charm for her neck and bracelet for her wrist . Maybe I can look for something for her ears...

@Handymans342 , that might be a good gift for me, LoL! She’s slowed down since the kids are around now. Maybe in 5-10 years I’ll get her that!

Maybe to avoid the 3rd little girl.....

How much do you want to spend? There are some really fancy deck shoes that Sperry and other companies make ... but you should probably figure out what she would like. My wife loves hers.

aero3113

Thanks @LaRea I will keep those in mind.

@MarkB , I actually bought her the top shoe in your pic a couple of years ago.

Why does it have to be something for the boat? it's her b day not the boat. Weekend get away? Grandma watches the kids.

@randy56 , I only said boat because we will mostly likely be spending a lot of time on it with COVID. Not much to do....

I have given my wife many gifts. One of the ones she says she like the best was a day spa package. She can choose from a variety of different treatments such as massage, mani/pedi, hair styling etc.

The best gift I ever bought my wife was a glass digital scale. She uses it 2 to 3 times a day. Loves it!!!

@aero3113 Your right, I forgot about getting out around others. Our thinking has to change on what we can do. But down here, these people act like nothing has or is happening. Went to a busy gas station, there were 10 inside. I was the only one with mask on.

FWIW aero I showed this to my admiral and she was drooling over them. Her bday is 2/28 and I’ll be ordering a pair. Darn you LR! 😉

They do some nice work at The Golden Cleat!  Very friendly too.

The Sperry shoes are a great idea. My wife has 2 pairs of Sperry sandals. Her fav.

I was looking at getting a Personal Go Fan for my wife. Kinda pricey tho.
Fits in drink holder, USB charge, etc. Orig for golf carts. 

Once in a while on the boat after being in the sun - she will go sit under the bimini....more than once she said it would be nice to have a small fan.

SunBum stuff is good quality. The beach towels are awesome.

Those Sperry shoes are nice, I may get my wife and I some. Then I can also get some Ralph Lauren and Ray Bans.

Custom hand towels with the boat's name or a custom welcome mat.

I draw the line at pleats 😐. I wore pleated pants early in my career and never realized the difference till my friend made fun of me....never again!!!! 🤣

I do like the Sperry shoes though, I currently wear black shoes or black sandals on board which I know is a big NO but I do look good in black.

@aero3113 the custom towels or may is a good idea. We don't have custom but my wife did buy some nautical theme stuff which she really liked. What about a personalized cup for the boat as well? Do you have a nice floaty for her to relax in to get away from you and the kids? We bought a circle floaty about 5' in diameter with a back rest and a shade.
