Birthday ideas......

So the thirty something birthday is due shortly. Up to £100 what do I ask for considering I'm a bit of a boat nut - but anything useable could be considered.

The hard bit is if I want something I buy it usually ........

Or several smaller things together that will add up to your target - things that often go out of date/rust/wear out/get lost etc like:

Flares
Fire extinguisher
Compressed air cannisters for air horn
First Aid Kit
Life Jacket re-arming kit
Gloves

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FUJI-FinePix-S1000-S1000FD-DIGITAL-CAMERA-12xOPT-4GB_W0QQitemZ180331520218QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Cam erasPhoto_DigitalCameras_DigitalCameras_JN?hash=it em180331520218&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3 A1690|66%3A4|65%3A12|39%3A1|240%3A1308

Cracking camera for the price. Fuji do the best compacts in this price range. Jpegs are spot on with hardly any artefacts.

Great idea Andrew. All too easy to forget these important things. Might be a bit like getting an ironing board for the missus but what the heck!
