Help: I Need a Great Outdoor Gift Idea
By Ben Romans
So here’s my problem: Little Romans (a.k.a. my son) is celebrating his first birthday soon, and I have no idea what to get him. Should I go shopping for something with a fishing theme? Camo for hunting? Pop gun?
The Boss (a.k.a. his mother) wants to get him some toys or little musical instruments, but I’d rather shop at Bass Pro Shops nstead of Toys R Us. Gotta get him going on the right foot, you know what I mean?
Granted he’s probably too small to know what to do with his first fishing rod, and there’s no way mom is going to let me take him up in a two-man treestand—so I’m stuck! Any suggestions? What’s a cool hunting or fishing gift a parent, relative, or friend gave you that’s special? I’m looking for some ideas here, gang, so hit me with anything that pops in your head. —Ben

Hats are great. My baby cousins had on great Bass Pro hats last week.

Definitely look at some bass pro shop clothes or something like that. Also see if there is like some simple games you can find that have something to do with the outdoors. Like the one where the fish spin around with the the magnets in their mouth and you have to try to get them with the magnet on the end of your line.
These are some great ideas. . . But I think I like the idea of the magnet fish the best. I remember having a blast with that game, so I'm hoping I can find one (or something similar) at the toy store. Thanks for the suggestions!
