How about a kneeler for ground work, to protect the knees? There are also nice kits for gardeners (gloves,
little hand rakes, etc.)

I think he could use some new hand tools. Hadn't thought of that but they are looking worn out. Thanks!

On the subject of gardening, if he hasn't already got one, how about a Garden kneeler ?.. It's fab for kneeling, and with handy sides to help you stand up, and it can be flipped to make a low seat... it's very lightweight and folds flat for storage.. I wouldn't be without mine, had it years now..

Oh, hollydolly, by chance does that man come with it?

I got some good Saucony socks and I love them. I think he would like some of those.

One of the best gifts I’ve found this year is a set of four scented Christmas candles on Amazon,
each in its own little tin presented in a lovely gift box, they have various other designs as well at a very reasonable price

Type ‘Christmas candles’ in Search

I made Barbie clothes for the 5 and 7 yr old grands.

Excellent work! I tried making Barbie outfits once and about lost my mind.

I got my brothers large soy candles on Amazon last year. They were Balsam scented and vegan and supposed to be better for the air you breathe in from candles. They loved them.

The most fun shopping we have had is creating food baskets for the adults. We put in those treats they would not splurge for themselves. We get the baskets at goodwill. Believe me….these are a hit, even for teens!

I burn Wax melts in my house.. and always buy Soy melts because they burn much cleaner than paraffin..

Very nice! I've knit Barbie clothes but I hate sewing tiny little clothes.

You sew! Then, how about lap blankets, aka, couch quilts? I made them for all my grandkids five Christmases ago and they still love them. I think they were 48" square, something like that.

Pretty sure I have that very model as it looks to have a thicker padding. The side pouches didn’t last long but I still have and use the kneeler.
