Hoping you all will have some suggestions.
A friend of mine wants to give a $1,000 gift certificate to an older couple that hikes every July for 3 or 4 weeks -- all beautiful meal-providing/bed-providing hut to hut, all usually in Switzerland. So... no need for sleeping bags or heavy clothing.
I don't know for certain, but since they've been doing this for several years, they probably have a fair amount of pretty nice equipment already.
So, Patagonia comes to mind. What about a really high-end clothing/equipment mail order company? Obviously, discount is not the issue.
Got any suggestions?...
I know, I'm a bit envious, too. If you are reading this, the certificate is not for you. Sorry. Really.
