Nautical Figurines for Your Home Decor

Nautical decor is certainly a popular these days. It takes on a wide range of subject matter from fish, mermaids, boats, anchors, flags and sailor figurines. The sailor figurines range from lowly deck hands to the captain of the ship.

A sailor figurine is a wonderful retirement gift to give someone who is retiring who loves to go out sailing or in a power boat. It's also a fantastic gift to give someone who was once a member of the Navy, Coast Guard or Merchant Marine. Don't forget that commercial fishermen also are great sailors.

Or you could just give yourself a few sailor figurines to add to your curio cabinet or collectible figurines collection. I have a sailor figurine in my kitchen that shows the captain of a ship at the wheel. This means that I'm the captain in my kitchen and I'm in charge. This is a kindly message to my husband who spend a great deal of time working out on the ocean. One day after he'd been deployed for several months, he started telling me what to do in the kitchen to get ready for dinner. I told him that I wasn't a member of the crew and he replied that I was being insubordinate.  I laughed in his face and that phrase has never been uttered again in the kitchen – or anywhere else.
