So my husband is really hard to shop for. He likes mountain biking and all things tool related ... so I went to a hardware store, and just looked around. I found something I've never seen in our house, and bought it for him. Lol. It actually worked out - he was all "cool! I've needed some of these!" (They were craftsman spring clamps, a set of 6 and I think it was $10 or $15.) I honestly have no idea what they are for, I just knew we didn't have any. Oh I also bought him new work gloves, that he can use for working on his bike.
Oh - then I found a book that I want to buy for him for xmas ... Zombie Survival Guide, which looked really cool because it was all about how to find edible plants, how to find shelter and make a fortress out of it (offshore oil rigs! Who knew?!). Plus the usual "how to kill a zombie" stuff.

I usually find something small when I browse a store like Marshall's.
What does he like/hobbies? What does he do for a living?
