The Perfect Present For Every Fisherman!


Yep, the holiday shopping season officially began on Black Friday, giving shoppers less than four weeks to find the perfect gift for your family and friends before the 25th!

Find the best gift can be a bit challenging, especially when whoever you are buying for already has everything. There is good chance that almost everyone has at least one fisherman in their family. Tomorrow on Cyber Monday, Alaska's famous fishing lodge, Waterfalls Resort, will be having a “Gift Wrap a Fish" deal, which all guests will receive a free round trip airfare (a value up to $750)!

Waterfalls Resort is located near Ketchikan, which is a 90-minute flight away from Seattle. Originally, it was called the Waterfall Cannery that was established in 1912 and ran until the late 1960s. It was remodeled in 1983 as Waterfalls Resort.

Here are some fun facts about Waterfalls Resort:
  • During the cannery years, the Waterfalls Resort location broke a world record for producing the most canned salmon in a single season.
  • Waterfalls Resort is located on the west coast of Prince of Wales Island, which is by one of the most famous fishing locations -  SE Alaska’s Inside Passage.
  • Waterfalls Resort has been operating as a private sport fishing lodge for over 30 years.
  • The resort provides the best rods, reels, tackle, bait and all-weather gear.
  • Guest can catch a wide variety of fish, including the king salmon (Chinook), Coho Salmon, halibut, ling cod, red snapper, black bass and rock fish.
  • The resort has their own fish processing team, who cleans, trims, packs and freezes each guests' catch.
The “Gift Wrap a Fish” deal can be booked from December 1st thru December 31st. The free airline tickets can be paired with the Land Package for 2 or more nights at the exclusive price of $3,510 per person. Airline baggage fees, as well as Alaska State fishing licenses and gratuities, are not included in the package.

Holiday Gift Guide 2014: Mighty Bright Lighted Seam Ripper


Mighty Bright Lighted Seam Ripper
by Mighty Bright

Retail:

$9.99

Description:

The Lighted Seam Ripper and Magnifier is the new secret weapon of quilters, sewers and embroiderers. This innovative model integrates both a light and a magnifier into one cleverly compact unit. The seam ripper features a sharp metal blade that unfolds from the main handle. It allows you to tackle seams and buttons with a genius combination of illumination and magnification. A 1.25″ lens quadruples the image size of your blade and stitch. The enlarged area is brightened by an energy-efficient LED, bringing details into sharp focus. Its ergonomically shaped handle offers a comfortable grip as you rip, snip and cut away. Durable ABS plastic construction and three micro cell batteries keep the weight at a minimum. The Seam Ripper is an incredible value for a slender dynamo. It fits nicely into any sewing kit, until you’re ready to get down to business ripping seams.
