We all know that guy - let's call him Steve - he has the means to buy whatever he wants, but he's still wearing the 10 year old socks with the hole poking through the toe. Steve will spend money on many things, but buying nice things for himself? Nope. You know this 'Steve' guy I'm talking about.
So, what should you not buy this guy? A gift card. Don't do that. This becomes another "to-do" on Steve's already long list. It's not thoughtful or creative and now you're making Steve do the work that you should do! Caught!
But don't stress - we got you. Here's the top 5 place based gift we make, specifically for that impossible-to-buy-for guy. Creative, functional, meaningful - and celebrating the places he loves most.
1. Traditional laminated placemats of his favorite sailing destinations - We have every destination in the Caribbean and the USA - from the shores of Lake Michigan to Vashon Island to Down East Maine. And if not here? We'll make it for you.
2. “The Only Blanket Steve Will Actually Keep” - This is the one gift he won’t “save for later” or lose in the back seat of his truck. Warm, cozy, meaningful—and impossible for Steve to mess up.
3. The Map Shower Curtain - Steve’s been showering behind the same faded curtain since college. It’s time. A map-themed shower curtain instantly upgrades his bathroom and reminds him daily of the places he loves most. Easy install, big impact.
4. Local harbor boat towel - perfect for Steve - it packs small and dries big - great for stowing on the boat or hikes down to the beach - and comes with a carry-bag.
5. The Map Scroll - no fussy frame or precious glass separates Steve from his favorite harbor chart - and wicked easy to hang as it comes ready-to-assemble.
Bottom line? Don’t buy Steve a task—buy him a gift he’ll actually enjoy. Choose the places he loves, the maps that mean something, and the gear he’ll reach for every day. Problem solved. Steve approved.
