As the holidays close in and the shoppers hit the stores, you may be struggling to come up with a great gift idea for someone that is difficult to shop for. Well if this person happens to be either a golfing afficionado or the great hunter, then we have a great gift idea that you might consider.

One of the most difficult things about shopping for an enthusiast of any kind is that they tend to be particular about their choice in gear and if they are like most, they probably have already purchased what they really want anyways. There are certain items though, that they might not be willing to spend the money for as they do not deem it as necessary to their sport. It would be nice to have, but not necessary.

My wife recently bought me a cool new gadget, a golf laser rangefinder. These items are used to measure the distance to various objects that you point them at. I have always seen them and kind of wanted one for myself but I wasn't willing to spend the money on what I considered a toy. I welcomed it as a gift, but I just didn't feel right spending my own money. If this sounds like your situation, then read on.

Buying something like a laser rangefinder can be kind of intimidating. These aren't typically items that most people know a lot about and that can be frustrating when you try to make sure you buy the right one. Based on our experience, we recommend you research the item online and find the one you really like. Once you have located it you can buy it locally or we would recommend Amazon. The selection and the price of Amazon is hard to beat.

We would recommend that your online research consist of checking out rangefinder reviews. There are a lot of them out there and check out what more experienced users have to say. What do they like, dislike and would they buy it again. This will allow you to become a pretty educated consumer and allow you to move towards making the purchase.

After using that rangefinder that my wife bought me, I would say it might be the best gift I've gotten in years. It saved me a lot of steps running from one side of the fairway to the other, trying to locate marker pins, spot objects, calculate club distance etc. I would not have bought one for myself, but I am really glad she bought one for me. A great gift idea for sure.

If you are in the market for a laser rangefinder then check out our advice, do your homework and save yourself money on your purchase. That just seems like good sense to me.
