V-Day gift help needed

[fundayz]

I am thinking of giving my future hubby an 'Alaska' basket for Valentine's Day to get him thinking about our honeymoon this summer.

 

I need help with Alaska themed things to include. Know this board is always full of great ideas.

I would get him warm gloves, a cashmere scarf, ( just to make it special) and then, a pic of the blue ice or whales or whatever you might get to see!

Have a lovely honeymoon!:D

How about some hot chocolate and cured salmon (not to be eaten together of course!). Or even better, cavier or crab.

Well, since you are cruising - any cruise realted items would be great.

 

How about a ship board credit for a "couples Spa treatment"

I like the gift cert ideas --- but to really personalize it to Alaska, these are the things we found we all things Alaska:

 

• Anything with bald eagles, moose, bears, salmon, whales and orcas
  
• Didn't really have reason to wear gloves -- just not that cold --- but maybe rain gear -- one with a fleece lining maybe (one jacket should do it all)
  
• mini binoculars for whale watching, eagle sightings (although they are everywhere), wildlife in general
  
• anything for the camera --- you will want to take lots of pics or videos
  
• something fun for the BBQ like a salmon grilling plank, an ulu (chopping device -- totally Alaskan), some smoked sockeye salmon
  
• I found a small book --- very cute to have ahead of time -- "How to speak Alaskan" -- terms like sourdough, etc
  
• anything related to totem poles, tlinket indian tribes, etc.
  
• maybe there are some online sites where you can pre-purchase items from the different known bars --- The Red Onion in Skagway, The Red Dog Salloon in Juneau, etc

I love your idea and think you can make up a great little basket with a variety of things pertaining to Alaska. We just love it up there and are semi considering our fifth cruise up that way.
