Birthday present for DH?

Here's the list of ideas he gave me: drill, router, air compressor? maybe a new ipod?

I have a Target gift card that I could use to get the ipod, but I'm not sure he would want one of the new nanos and I'm too cheap to get the itouch.  But I'm afraid to buy him tools...sort of like him buying me a bra.  Smile  But a gift card to Home Depot feels so lame.  

Thoughts?  Of course his birthday is tomorrow.  Embarrassed

Re: Birthday present for DH?

  • I wouldn't be too nervous about buying a drill actually, there aren't that many options. Just go to Home Depot (or wherever) and I would go with Dewalt brand. Tell them what you want to spend, there is a drill to fit your price range. Worst case scenario he can exchange it.

  • I recently discovered the staff at Sears are wonderful in the tool department and can steer you in the right direction.
  • I also hate picking out practical/tool presents for my DH.  I hope you found something fun today to give him.

    Are you united with the CCOKCs?

  • I would buy him a babysitter and a bra.  You can thank me later.
  • I don't know about the tools, but DH loved his iPod Nano that I got him for Christmas. He hasn't stopped playing with it.

  • Okay everywhere is out of iPods. Ridiculous. So I got him a drill. Went to consumer reports and got a recommended one. :)

  • For another time-I totally have a router table that you guys can buy very inexpensively from me.  My dad had it out for a garage sale and it didn't sell, and guess who's garage it ended up being in.....I know nothing about it, but you can totally check it out.
