axler 0 #1 December 11, 2008 I know this might be a hard to answer question but any feedback would be appreciated. I would like to get my bf a gift certificate for some gear, camera, etc. Any suggestions on what to get him ie.which company or website would offer the most selection since I have no idea where to start! THANKS!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #2 December 11, 2008 http://www.paragear.com/default.asp You can start there. You could always buy him a block of 5 or 10 Jumps at his DZ, or maybe a gear bag. You'll need to to do a little snooping around, or just be blunt and say; "what do you want?" His second answer will be about skydiving I am sure. MattAn Instructors first concern is student safety.

LuckyMcSwervy 0 #7 December 11, 2008 I'm seeing someone who jumps, so for his birthday last month I bought him 11 jump tickets so he could beat his record of jumps in a day. (10 jumps + 1 to break his personal record). He liked it. Always be kinder than you feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axler 0 #8 December 11, 2008 So he would be happy with a gift certificate from paragear? I think he wants to get a camera for his helmet, could he get one there? Would you wear a t-shirt from there? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CSpenceFLY 1 #9 December 11, 2008 You would be better off buying a camera from an electronic retailer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #10 December 11, 2008 I would go with Chris on the camera from an electronics type store, but the other accessories can be from a company like Para Gear. A gift card or cert from Para Gear, Square 1 etc. would allow him to get the exact stuff he wants and avoid an exchange issues. T-shirt? sure if it is free I would wear it. Just look at my ward robe.
