A handful of 10mm sockets from CT! You can never have enough 10mm sockets.

@petee_c do you work with tools at all? If so wood or metal working tools?

I have a decent wood shop in the basement...11x25' - made beds, night tables, other basic furniture and structures

I have a welder and milwaukee porta-band saw, hammers and dolly and a couple angle grinders for metal working... I made a stand for dumbbells with my nonexistant welding skills, as well as welded on some nuts to stripped bolts when working on my jetta....

I'll likely tell him something like that... I don't have any tire shine presently...

A good off the shelf matte interior protectant/cleaner would be nice....

LOL! I guess you have some tools. I’m going to assume you have one but how about a nice tool belt? At first I thought they were funny looking, but I love mine now so handy.. plus my dad gave me it, so another reason to use it. If you got one how about this? Since you like to wood work, maybe pass the skill down to him.
Kreg tool
Maybe mom or sister/brother (if he has a sibling) can supplement the difference?

I have a toolbelt for outside work... building shed, rinks etc... I have the larger kreg jig system... the one from a few years back....

Yes, I am hard to buy for.... I am the stage in my tool selection/collection, that I really like to pick the tools I use.... and most are above $30.

Here is a thread about a bed my son(5%) and I (95%) built a few years ago... it was in the best build of their magazine edition of Canadian Woodworking....

I got tired of looking through my old unorganized socket sets for sockets and purchased a new set from CT. So nice and easy to fix things again
similar to this one:

Ha! I found one on top of my engine after I yanked everything off. Now my favorite socket!

Tell him to get you a gift certificate and you can go shopping together.
