A gift for a real outdoors man

August 31, 2011 by Tricia

My husband and I trying to think up a good gift for one of our friends. He’s the daring risk taker type. You know, the kind that goes out rock climbing, drives to fast and even does a little BMX racing on the weekends. If it’s anything outdoors that’s where our friend is and if we want to see him we pretty much have to be willing to play his game. LOL

Anyway … what do you get for someone like that? Life insurance? Yes I’m sure, but I’m thinking something more tangible. If I could figure out a way to find out his size I’d consider getting him one of these hjc helmets because I’m certain he’d use it. However how do you not spoil the surprise yet still get the right size?

My other idea is to get him some rock climbing gear. I used to do a lot of rock climbing so I’m still fairly familiar with all the gear that’s needed and I’ll bet there’s a few things that he could use.

Anyone else have any other good ideas for a real sporty outdoors man?

      Mia I hadn’t thought of a backpack … I think he might have one … I’ll have to check on that and if he doesn’t it might be a good idea.

    How about skiing gear? Gloves or skis, or poles? A friend of mine got this for his birthday and he was super happy.
