Hey ES - whatever floats your boat............

Seriously tho - I used to like to get those gifts of something that I wouldn't buy for myself too - like those diamond earrings maybe, or some other nice piece of jewelry, etc. But when you get OLD like I am, and retired, then most of that jewelry is seldom worn, and all the nice shoes and handbags are replaced with sandals or athletic shoes and a hobo bag, the nice suits and slacks and skirts are replaced with jeans or sweats, or tank tops and capris.

So give me a new washer or dryer or vac - they never go out of style or loose their usefulness - no matter how old the recipient gets.

A store in this area is advertising big for Father's Day -- "Get Dad what he really wants!"

This is from Cabela's, which is a big outlet for guns and ammo!.. (among lots of other rugged outdoorsy goods).

On their web site Shooting page, http://www.cabelas.com/catalog/brows...0187?WTz_l=SBC, there is an ad: "Cabela's Father's Day SALE -- Shop great savings in SHOOTING GEAR"
