My first Desert Eagle was a Fathers Day present.
Oop's forgot, last year she got me a STI Trojan 1911 45 for late Christmas present.

The first time my wife tried to get me a "guy" present...a holster, it was...the store clerk gave her such a bad time, she didn't try again for years.
I called the store, and tore a strip off the manager for his clerk's rudeness.
Generally, she has given me binoculars, flashlights, 2 rifles, and 2 hunting knives, but now, both of us are satisfied with gift certificates from Cabela's or Sportsman's Warehouse.
My daughters and sons in law have given me a fishing rod case, binocular harness, spotting scope, fishing reel, gift certificates, and other fancy stuff. Not to mention the shirts!

I buy my own hunting supplies, My wife gets me stuff like gun cases, hunting clothes, boots, etc. But as far as guns, bows, ammo, I'd rather get them myself. The same goes for her, she picks out the jewelry, clothes, etc. she wants. Saves a wait in the return line. After 30 years with her, we've learned that this works for us.

My Wifes family(uncles, grandfather) are Lapeer County Michigan Sherriffs Deputys, She knows guns and the other stuff that goes with them. She could teach most counter clerks in a gunshop a thing or two.

I make a list or go with my wife. She goes with me and we get what we want and it gets wrapped and put under the tree. Works for us real well.

I buy myself a Christmas present every year, usually firearm related, however this year I bought a new snowmobile. Or as they are called in these parts, a "snogo".

I got myself a new cleaning kit for rifle, shotgun and handgun (all brass) to replace the one I bought when I was 18 and have been piece mealing it ever sense (all aluminum). Figured it was about time I started over again for the next 47 years...

I got myself a Ruger Single Six Stainless, and my family got me a pair of 10X binoculars.
Beautiful glass! Tack sharp optics. Only problem is, they give me a bad headache when I use them, and I have trouble holding them steady.
Oh, well, that will be corrected soon.
