Gift help needed

[IIOY]

1. My husband. He's impossible to buy for but his new thing is electronics and building robots from scratch. Any techie-robot stuff you can recommend?

2. My dad. He also is impossible to buy for because he runs out and buys every gadget known to humanity the day it comes out. He likes golf and cooking. Any and all suggestions for a 60-something man are welcome.

Thank you!

1. I think I'm going to get my DH the "Nest" thermostat thing this year. I think is the only gadget he hasn't bought himself.

2. I think I'm going to get my dad some Benton Bacon (best stuff ever) shipped to his house

Think outside the box! Go for something like this:

Www.jumpinjammerz.com

My 60 year old dad who wants for nothing always asks for gift certs from here...

www.thegreatcourses.com/greatcourses.aspx

He listens to these on the way to work, at night, etc. He loves them (and is always trying to get us to listen to them...my poor mom who has to take road trips with him! 6 hours of the High Middle Ages, whee!)

I am absolutely getting matching Starwars ones for PTS, K, and DH.

"Christmas stocking stuffers." Check.

I get my kids PJs every year to open Christmas eve. That way they all look good on Christmas morning

Booze, a nice Bourbon/Scotch/Rye/etc. Can't ever go wrong with booze ;-)

This is a great idea! I think I'm going to steal this.

His Christmas gift is always the same - another year in which I allow his worthless old balls to come over to my house once a week for the world's most unpleasant visit and dinner. ^o)

Old balls huh? Is that something you've personally witnessed? Measured the sag or percentage of grey down there?

He's 70 and I'm assuming he hasn't had a ball transplant. I could be wrong, I suppose.

I second this site. They have so many awesome things. I'm getting my dad the useless box. He's going to love it. Some other fun gift sites are uncommongoods.com and perpetualkid.com. good luck!
