Binoculars as a gift?

I’m wracking my brain trying to figure out what kinds of gifts I could get my friends and family this coming Christmas. The idea of giving a pair of binoculars to a couple of these people occurred to me.

We’ve got really nosy neighbors … sometimes I think that I might as well give them a set of binoculars. Am I joking? Uh maybe, maybe not. They really are totally nosy. Why not make it easier for them to stare at us? They’re gonna do it anyway.

Nah, but I think my Uncle might find a pair of binoculars useful. He lives in an area where he can over see a beautiful park. He’s always telling us about the birds he sees- blue jays, cardinals, huge crows. You name it and he’s probably seen it. Yeah, I think I will get him a pair. He’s been great to us over the years and I think he’d use this gift and really enjoy it. Ok one down on the gift list. Muh hahahahah!

Hey, maybe I could do the same with my brother. He goes to a lot of baseball games and football games. What could be better than a pair of binoculars at a game? Yep, I think I nailed that one. Two down on the old gift list. I’m doing well aren’t I?

I have no idea what type I’d get for either of them though. There are so many brands and types of binoculars. I just went searching and I found a site that tells you how to buy binoculars. I think I might spend a bit of time there reading the information. Hopefully it will help me decide which type would be best for each of them. The site that I found that information on Opticsplanet.net also sells binoculars and offers free UPS shipping on orders over $29.95. I guess I’ll spend sometime looking at what they have to offer too.

Gift Baskets

» by Tricia in: Gifts

Now that I have a famous Chef sharing my site with me (see renters link on right), I thought I’d tell you about a great place that I found for Gourmet gift baskets.

Mother’s day is coming up on May 14th, and I thought you might want to start thinking about some great gift ideas. These gift baskets will not only come in handy for Mother’s day, but any special occasion- a simple thank-you, as a birthday gift, or to congratulate someone on their promotion.

I’m sure you’ll be able to find just the right gift for that special someone at Gourmet Gift baskets. Only the finest gourmet food components are used to craft their gift baskets. I suggest you start by looking at their Italian gift baskets.

Enjoy! I hope you like them.
