Home My WebLink AboutClinton News-Record, 1985-12-11, Page 15`rest gifts If you are an organized person, you pro- bably have your Christmas shopping all ydone. The L.L. Bean or Eddie Bauer catalogue will have done its job, if not by ac- tually supplying the gift, then by getting the old brain in motion and churning out some ideas. On the other hand, if you are like most of us, their y,,u'U still be struggling for that last minute gift for someone. One of the best gifts I've seen yet is a miniature flashlight that's taking the market by storm. It's made by the same company that supplies professional flashlights to police and security forces throughout the world, and it's the same quality as its big brothers. It's called the Mini Maglite, and it's con- structed from heavy duty aircraft aluminum for a lifetime of durability. Using two penlight batteries, it measures a scant 5.5 inches long, one inch in diameter at the widest point, and weighs only four ounzes with batteries in place. But, that's where any similarity to the old style penlight ends. The Mini Maglight has a beam which is 20 times more powerful than other penlights, is adjustable from a spot to a flood lamp, and turns into an electric candle when the lens cap is completely removed. It's sealed with o -rings, which keep it waterproof and operating to a depth of 200 feet (in case you fall overboard) and carries a spare light bulb in the tail so it's always handy. It's available through Eddie Bauer or sporting goods stores for a little over $20 and it's the perfect size for a glove compartment or purse. Another great item that always seems to come in handy is a pocket knife, and the Swiss Army knife is one of the best. There are a whole range of models to choose from, and the price is dictated by how fancy you want to get. Available in hardware stores, they're easy to find. A small note of caution. Naturally Speaking If the person, you're giving it to will be car- rying it constantly, stick to the simpler ystyles so they don't wear holes in their pockets. When you're outdoors in the winter, nothing beats a warm pair of thick wool socks, or a good wool toque. They're simple gifts, but it's surprising how much they're appreciated. Want your man to look good and feel good too? How about a viyella shirt. They come in great outdoorsy colors, are warm and com- fortable and get better as they age. When they lose that fresh looking crispness that makes them excellent, for casual wear, they'll still be appreciated for years to come in the hunt camp or out on a fishing trip. I know they're a little more expensive, but when you consider the amount of wear they're going to get, it's good value. These three items are all available locally, and may just be the thing if you're buying for one of those impossible people. And there's more. Stainless steel vacuum bottles are great. They don't break, are very efficient when it comes to keeping things warm, and tend to be used more than the old style. Whenever you head outfor an afternoon in the bush, whether it's summer or winter, you often find there are just one or two rnor'e things you want to take along than you have By Steve Cooke room in your pockets for. That's when a fan- ny pack come in handy. These sacks are designed to wear around the waist, are com- fortable, and not so big as to be bulky or too heavy. It's a great idea and something that will see a lot fo use. People tend to be traditionalists and since we are also becoming more fitness oriented, why not seriously consider giving a pair of snowshoes to someone. Snowshoes, unlike skiis, can be used by anyone, the first time, and there's none of that waxing involved that is often quite difficult to get just right. And if youdon't think it's good exercise, just ask your legs how they feel if you overdo it the first time or two. Snowshoes are fun. You can set your own pace, and in the winter it doesn't take long to get away from the crowds. They're also quiet, and you'll be surprised at the wildlife you'll see on even a short expedition. If YOU do decide on snowshoes, be sure to get the right size. A set that is too small can be useless in powdery snow, and too big a pair are difficult to handle. Look over the different shapes •and styles as well to see what would suit you the best. There's a few ideas, and I hope it helps. Outdoor people are easy to buy for, mainly because they appreciate anything that is related to their favorite pastime.
