Understood.
I'll be honest, I draw a blank when I think for myself. I don't really want anything in the normal realm of "stuff". However, we don't look at tools like chicks do. We actually like them. Get a chick a vacuum and you're a fuckinasshole, get a guy a cordless Makita drill, genuine happy. But these are the things we each need to do our self-appointed home tasks.
Hows he in the rechargeable drill department? Someone got me one two years ago, and it had a layout of about fifty bits included, all sorts of wizardry tips. Great gift.
