VSSL Waterproof LED Flashlight and Flask
We’ll bet you’ve never come across a flashlight that doubles as a drink container—and this is exactly why the VSSL Waterproof LED Flashlight and Flask would make a cool gift for the boat owner on your Christmas shopping list.
We also love that the brand didn’t skimp on light power, so the boater can stay safe even after dark, and that it can hold up to 10 ounces of liquid, aside from two stainless steel, collapsible shot glasses. It even has a bottle opener and a compass. How convenient is that?

With the Witz Passport Locker, you can bring your passport, travelers’ cheques, cash, credit card, and other small, important documents that you need to have on or with you.
