Tell them to save their money if you can't think of anything.

Have them give you IOU's for yard work or other chores you need done. Then when the yard needs mowed, you give them the IOU saying hey would do the lawn etc.. It's free, and they provide a useful service when you need it.

For years my kids pooled their money and gave me an annual State Parks pass. They are all grown now, but they still do it. And I still like it.

My favorite meal is the one I don't have to cook. Supper outside the house with your kid's is a win win.

Wireless weather station that shows the outside temperature so you can decide if you want to hunt without going outside.

I spent a little more for one that tracks multiple readings, including barometric pressure so that you can tell how quickly it's rising or falling, a good indicator of deer movement and feeding.

We're implementing a 40.00 or under rule (for my wife and me) this Christmas. Here's some links from my list:
Stainless tallboy cup
Campfire grill on a stick
NRA ear plugs
Wilderness medicine book

Plus

Duke's coon traps
Thermal underwear
Sock liners

And there's always consumables, which I prefer, e.g. booze, food, cigars, AMMO.

Have a very Merry Christmas.

Full tank of gas??? Lol my Christmas present from my wife and kid have been a duck mount for the past couple years but I think that's really came out of my pocket lol but it all good. Can't go wrong with an academy gift certificate, mine from Christmas usually go towards shotgun shells and a hunting license so I always can use an academy gift card
