We are friends with a camping couple that just recently had a daughter get married. The neat thing was that instead of giving the Best Man and Groomsmen little womanly do dads and knickknacks they gave them pocket knives.

This is a camping family from way back and I guess they knew that the men in the wedding where outdoor types. The Groomsmen got a fairly inexpensive Bantam Swiss Army Knife from Summit Hut that cost around $15.00.

They spent a little more on the Best Man and he got the Classic Swiss Army for right at $21.00. These prices where right in line with what folks are spending on junk gifts that you will never use.

I think the whole idea is noteworthy as a reminder that for the camping minded there all kind of ideas for the gifts that we have to buy throughout the year.
