I want to be abundantly clear here. A major part of you buying me a gift is you taking the time to go through options and pick it out.

Generally speaking I want things with as little plastic as possible and in a brand name that is known for quality, precision, and/or durability.

E.g. Fritz bought me a nice Brushless Cordless Craftsman Handheld Drill for Christmas.

That said, here is my gift list.

Power tools - Craftsman (if possible), electric (I don't want anything that's gas powered), cordless (if available)

• Outdoor
  • Lawn Mower
  • Edge trimmer
  • Leaf blower
  • Snow blower
• Inside
  • Circular saw
  • Random Orbital Sander
  • Miter Saw
  • Router
  • Oscillating Multitool

Hand tools - Dewalt (if possible)

• Level (box, torpedo, digital, laser)
• Extension ladder
• Work light (cordless, LED, magnetic)

Appliances

• Garbage Disposal
• Tankless water heater
• Dishwasher with third rack and steel tub
• Heat pump (preferably ground source, but air source would be ok)

Major home upgrades

• 200 amp electric into house
• New bathroom with walk in shower and proper roof ventilation
• Stainless steel utility sink
• New windows - screens that fit, locks that work, weather proof, at least double-paned for better insulation

For the cats

• Drinking fountain (steel, recirculating)
• Self-scooping litter boxes (four would be good, but one is ok to start)

Transportation

• Electric car
• Electric motorcycle
• Electric bike
• Cargo bike

Miscellaneous

• Beginner musical keyboard
• Cooperative board games that can be played two-player
• Two bike trainers so that Becky and I can do bike rides in the basement with our own bikes. Extra points if the trainers are power generators.

If none of that appeals to you then go spend your time and energy (not just your money) helping (anonymously if possible) someone who cannot pay you back.
