Giving Tide Clocks as Gifts
By Charles Wilkinson

For boaters, avid fishermen, or anyone that lives near on or near open water, a tide clock can make a great gift. A tide clock is a clock designed specifically to help you track the daily times of high and low tides. These clocks can be very useful for property or boat maintenance, and can be an appreciated novelty for those who just love the water. Here are some types of tide clocks to consider if you want to give one as a gift:

Traditional Tide Clocks

The most standard types of these have a very regal appearance. They read like a normal analog clock, and you will most likely find them framed with a nice, round, brass casing. An analog tide clock is a great addition to any room, and will certainly be a great piece of conversation for guests, or as a tool for planning water-related activities. For a fancier gift option, you can find clocks that also have barometers and other weather reading tools.

Digital Tide Clocks

For an easier display, try a digital tide clock. This would be a good option for someone new to reading tide clocks, or for someone who is dependent on this information for protection or activity, and just needs a quick read. These do not have a less appealing display, and will still be a sophisticated gift choice.

Price

You will find tide clocks available in a wide variety of price ranges. You can expect to pay around $40 for the least expensive clocks, and $300 and above for the most expensive. Look for tide clocks wherever boating or nautical supplies are sold. These venues would also provide staff to help you choose the best gift.

Even for those who don't live directly by water, or have a need to know the daily tidal information, a tide clock can be a unique gift, a reminder of a nautical passion, or a seasonal hobby. These clocks can also be a great gift for someone who is interested in the study of weather.

You can personalize your gift with an inscribed frame or plaque. Maybe your recipient has a boat, or owns coastal property. You could include this information in your inscription. Make your tide clock fit its recipient. Also make sure to include a book on the change of tides to help your recipient use their clock to its fullest potential.
