What MATERIAL POSSESSION should I get my bf for his birthday?
I've only known his for about 6 months and here are things he's really into:
-woodworking
-baseball (red sox)
-CARS (he's an absolute car nut!)
-mechanical machines (he's a mechanical engineer)
-golf
-poker
Thing is, he's kinda loaded and already has everything I could've possibly gotten him (two cars, a golf set, poker table, chips and cards, every known industrial strength woodworking machine and tool, etc.)
Also, I'm a poor student, so this gift can't cost more than, say, $50. Can anyone think of something? The only things I know he's been wanting to get is a shotgun for home defense and a new laptop, but those are both out of the question because of obvious financial reasons. HELP!
P.S. PLEASE don't tell me to take him out to dinner, or make him dinner, or make him a cake, or spend the day with him...I plan on doing those things anyway. I really want to BUY him something....something that'll make him think of me after I move back home next week 
I answered your same question last night, but i'll answer again sense that wasn't what you were looking for.
I spent some time looking online. And i dunno if you live anywhere near Boston. But if you do, you could consider red sox tickets. They aren't too pricey. http://www.stubhub.com/boston-red-sox-tickets/red-sox-vs-angels-8-17-2010-898730/
You'd have to pull off alittle more then 50, but that's for two tickets. And your boyfriend would probably love it?
