    Looking for a cool gift for a life long boater who has everything. Did you guys see anything new/cool at FLIBS? looking to spend about $200.

    I saw this at Total Wine in Ft Lauderdale. I think its a great boater's gift for around $150. A bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne in a fine finish wood gift box by Riva.

    Nice. I gave an owner/friend of mine an engraved humidor for his boat.

    A nice varnished teak photo album with the boats name on the cover is a very nice touch.

    That's so nice, you're almost afraid of using it because it might get scratched......

    We gave friends a humidor with the brass etched plate, in addition to the boat etching we had our signatures recreated also - HUGE hit!!

    Great idea (if they smoke). Especially like the signatures.
    Our boat washer gave my boss a smallish, hand painted, freestanding wood plaque (that she made) with a painting (that she'd done) of the boat. Lovely and meaningful.
