Hylander Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 i need to buy a chap , who I know is a keen yachtsman a gift for work he has done for my elderly mother. Has anyone any ideas of a small gift that would be suitable for a yachtsman please. As it is from mother I need to keep the cost down but I just wondered if anyone on here would have an idea. If so it would be appreciated. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hylander Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 You have cheered me up. As I said this is only a small gift to be given to him , as well paying his account. He has been so good to Mum. At least now I have some ideas. Thank you.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hylander Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Decided to get him a Tee shirt with Keep Calm and Keep Sailing on the front. He has a sense of humour. I bought it in black as I doubt it will see the wash very often. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
