Nautical Gifts for Him and Her: A Simple Guide

Nautical gifts are easy to get wrong. Too literal and they feel like a souvenir shop. Too subtle and nobody notices. Here is how we think about it, plus a few pieces that hit the right note for him and for her.

Start with how they live, not the theme

Someone who sails or fishes will love an anchor. Someone who just likes the calm, steady feeling of the sea will love it too. The best nautical gift is something that fits their everyday style, so they actually wear it.

For him

The Men's Anchor Cross Necklace is a Cuban link chain with a ship wheel and anchor pendant. It looks sharp with a plain tee and does not need an occasion to wear.

If he is more of a bracelet guy, the Men's Leather Anchor Bracelet is a braided leather band with a stainless steel anchor and a magnetic clasp. For a more rugged look, the Bronze Anchor Bracelet is hand-woven with an antique bronze anchor clasp. And the Paracord Shackle Bracelet has a stainless steel shackle clasp and suits anyone who spends time outdoors.

For her

The Layered Compass Pendant Necklace comes in silver or gold and layers well, which makes it an easy everyday piece. The compass carries a nice meaning too: it is a gift for someone finding their way.

For something more sentimental, the "I Love You to the Moon and Back" Heart Necklace has a silver star and moon pendant and arrives ready to give with a card.

For the home

If you are shopping for someone who has everything, the Crescent Moon Wall Lamp is a soft 3D LED light that works in a bedroom or living room.

A quick way to choose

  • Not sure of their taste: go with a compass. It reads as travel and direction, not just boats.
  • Outdoorsy: the paracord shackle bracelet.
  • Dressed up: the Cuban link anchor necklace or the layered compass set.
  • Sentimental: the moon and back heart necklace.

Every order has a 30-day return window, so if something is not right you can send it back.
