Default Christmas Gift Ideas

So it is getting close to that time of year again. I generally create a list of gifts I would like to have with hyperlinks to the exact product and where it can be bought. After I finish the list I give it to my wife so she can pick anything she wants on the list (items vary in price too) and get me great gifts that I would love to have while at the same time getting to surprise me (since I dont know what she will pick). The list generally consists of Tools, Car stuff, or other hobby type items.

So, back to the point of this thread.. lets hear some car, garage, tool related gift ideas. Not just for me, but for everyone that might be trying to think of something to ask for or tell their SO (significant other) about.

Keep in mind if you post links to try to use supporting vendors!!

First thing on my list was come car care supplies that I need badly right now..
$60 - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-96-su...l-special.aspx

$25 - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-36-8oz-clay-bar.aspx

$16 - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-28-buttery-wax-12oz.aspx

$16 - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-87-re...lish-12oz.aspx

$16 - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-97-sw...over-12oz.aspx

$20 - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-106-w...ing-towel.aspx

$10 - http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-71-mi...pads-2-pk.aspx

That is not the only thing I have asked for.. but I figure that is a good start to the list. I am working on my tools section right now... hehe.

BTW.. can anyone recommend a good ratcheting air hose reel (at least 50ft for around or under $100)

It is not stiff. The hose on my 5 yr old Harbor Frt. unit is getting small surface cracks. I wonder if I can swap the hose out with a Goodyear one?
