Still want to get some things for some family coming down to visit from Maine.

I've gotten into the habit of getting flashlights, multi-tools and pocket knives for almost everybody. This year it's the Streamlight AAAA pen lights, Victorinox Swiss Army multi tools and Benchmade or Kershaw pocket knives. I always make sure to provide extra batteries.

Those are good presents, even though some may not appreciate their usefulness.

I used to have streamlight flashlights, but switched to surefire and fenix.

Just got a really nice Benchmade knife earlier this year after relying on Spyderco for the last bunch of years. Shit was expensive! But sharp as hell and I think Made in 'Murica

Problem I have with gifts for the kids is I just keep buying "add ons". Those $25 items start to seriously add up.
Luckily most their gifts this year are practical and not frivolous things, so I at least win that way.
