Christmas Help

GC gift card? Or a gift card to another instrument vendor? Leather jacket, even a faux leather jacket- I got a nice faux leather jacket under your price range when it was on sale. All bass players should have at least one leather jacket.
So does some water skiers...

If you are an outdoorsman like me, you probably don't have a great pair of rugged, waterproof, insulated, grippy gloves. They make ones that aren't so bulky, but they're kinda pricey (to me your $75 is pricey for gloves).

That is one thing I never thought to buy myself. But my in-laws got me a pair and I use them outdoors all the time in the winter. I love them! I use them for hiking, working in the yard, playing in the (rare Eastern NC) snow with my kids.....

Also, a 1000' reel of paracord is small and can be bought for around $50. It is 550 pounds strong, light, and with 1000' feet of it you can cut it and use it without worrying about running out. I use it all the time. Never knew how much I needed it until I had some. It stays under the back seat of my truck 24-7. I'm able to share it and use it to help others tie things down without wondering if I'm going to run out. Good stuff.
