Daughter wanting to buy her Dad a Christmas Gift
Hi,
Every year I struggle with what to buy my dad for Christmas. I think he's extremely hard to buy for but he disagrees and says we just don't buy him what he wants haha.
So, as I know very little about what he would actually want I decided to reach out to the forum I know he frequents.
Here's the small amount of detail I can give you, hoping he doesn't see this and have too much detail that he knows exactly who this is.
His Current Obsession, Slot Cars. He sort of cycles through what kind of things he's working on but right now its his Slot cars. He's also done N Scale Train modelling(though he hasn't really touched his layout in years) and 1/16 Scale (Maybe?) Tanks, some large boat models and a little bit of everything really.
He builds/molds a lot of his own stuff, works a lot with like his own sound boards and little electrical things. I'm hoping to get him something fairly practical that he can continue using and that overall he'll say "YES! I can use this" Haha. I'm hoping to keep it under $100.00.
Any ideas!?
Thanks so much for any help you might be able to give!
P.s. D'oh! I found his user page but now it shows me as a recent page visitor. ****. Was hoping for like a wish list or something lol

Do you know if he has a nice soldering iron/station? Thats a great gift that'd make any man's Christmas, if they come from a cheap Radioshack heater.

Hmm. In that case, get him a gift card to Tower Hobbies. They have lots of stuff.
