The Holiday's Are Coming!
It's getting to be that time of year again. The cold weather, big
holiday meals, rich desserts, and presents. If you’re thinking about getting a fellow sportsman or loved one a sports related present – do your research!
Every season we have loved ones, usually the wives of sportsmen,
come in looking for a gift. Most are unsure of what to get. One way to be prepared is to ask leading questions, assuming your wife or husband doesn’t already drop hints about what they would like. But if you really want to go stealthy and surprise them, you may have to do some detective work. There is always the fall back of a gift certificate. It’s not quite so personal, but you won’t ‘make a mistake’ buying something they already have or didn’t need.
If you go stealthy, arm yourself with pen and paper. Check out the gun cabinet, look through the tackle box (it might not be a bad idea to take a picture if you are not sure what you are looking at), do a little inventory. Check out the boat – do they need new life jackets? Maybe an accessory that is worn out that you could replace. What size hunting clothes do they wear?
Write down as much as possible, take pictures, and you’ll be armed with some information about what they have. Now you can make better choices about what they might like or need. The more you know about the sport they participate in the better. Do you know someone they enjoy the sport with? A friend or relative you could ask for advice on what to get them. If they answer with a lot of “I would love”make sure it is something your loved one might like, not their own wish list.
Now I don’t want to sound prejudice – but I will – you can go to the big box type stores or shop on-line but you will get better assistance if you shop the small shops. You don’t have to come to ours but I bet we’re a lot like other small shops. You’ll be rewarded with thoughtful and helpful answers. We’re interested in taking time with you, in the hectic holiday season big boxes aren’t. They want you in and out as quickly as possible and onto the next customer.
Show us your list, the pictures and talk to us about your loved one. With that information we will work hard to find items that will make their day.
If the sportsman is reading this, you too can benefit from shopping the little shops. Whether it is a special small gift, maybe of jewelry, or something pretty and unique – small shops are where you can go and speak to the staff and be guided in a
way those big stores will never succeed.
