Nautical Luxuries Blog | 2010 | November

Admittedly, I am passionate about the sea - the lifestyle it engenders, the beauty it embodies, the pleasurable moments it brings - and I feel strongly that with that passion comes a responsibility to preserve this priceless resource. 

Once again this December, Nautical Luxuries is donating a percentage of wreath sales to the International SeaKeepers Society. The SeaKeepers not only share my passion for the sea, but are also actively involved in protecting it. A US-based non-profit organization, SeaKeepers monitors the health of the world’s oceans by deploying information-gathering modules on private yachts, cruise ships, and other vessels and coastal locations around the planet. 

I cannot think of a more beautifully appropriate gift for nautical enthusiasts to give or receive, than a holiday wreath adorned with the sea’s bounty;  a beautiful statement of their passion and commitment to the sea! 

Included with each wreath is a note letting the recipient know that the wreath they’ve received has helped to protect our oceans.

It isn’t often that we introduce such a great fashion accessory!
Quintessentially nautical, fashionably elegant and truly clever fun, these hand-painted scarves are now on my Christmas wish list! And, I hope every gift-challenged man out there who thinks a polo shirt and a matching team hat are exactly what she wants for Christmas, is listening. Not only will she look terrific stepping off the boat, attending this year’s Installation Banquet, or even sitting in a meeting at the office, you’ll score extra points for creating something that’s uniquely hers.

Customized code flags let you create your own special message, just for her. Four different scarf styles allow for up to 20 letters along one side, or up to 10 letters on each end. Our staff came up with a few favorite ideas:

ITS HAPPY HOUR SOMEWHERE         LOVE TO SAIL  
 WINK IF YOU CAN READ THIS         SAILING NUT
 CHAMPAGNE FOR EVERYONE         TROPHY WIFE 
I AM THE COMMODORES WIFE       BORN TO SAIL
 I AM NO MANS GALLEY SLAVE      WINCH WENCH
   THIS IS MY SAILING SCARF          I SAIL DO YOU
  WILL SAIL FOR CHAMPAGNE         TIME FOR RUM

Have fun getting creative, but do order by December 1st to ensure delivery in time for Christmas!
