Default Christmas Prezzie For Wife

Want to get my wife a boaty present this year - she has done Level 2 P/B course and takes the helm and does lots of other useful tasks on board but prefers being a passenger, which is fine with me. She has a good set of Oilies, Wellies, Shoes etc so more clothing would maybe not be right???? Any suggestions? Any kind welcomed and knowing you lot, i may be in for some fun.....

why not double up on all her favourite perfumes, toiletries, make up, undies etc so she doesn't have to pack them every time she goes to the boat.

why not use the threads for ideas?
At the moment , in order, she has a choice of fender socks, a nice volvo d12, some detroit diesels, or maybe even a tarquin trader. You just need to time it right so you dont end up with a thesis on gps by gludy !

recommended. But change the timer for something more subtle, cos that bell frightens the living daylights out of you...
