I thought I was the only one who got tools and heavy equipment for important gifts! Since I make jewelry for a "living", he can't buy me that without a lecture on retail mark-ups, and I told him that if I wanted a fur coat I'd make one myself, so we decided practical stuff as gifts. I'm a big 'ole toolhead anyway. A chipper is next on my list. This Christmas I got a 12' gas pole saw. Last wedding anniversary a great B-I-G log splitter. I LOVE getting big, practical working gifts that please me as much as hubby. Well, except for the button mushroom growing box on my list...it's not a tool, but it will please us both! LOL!
