Well i always get something as i tell them what i want. My kids are used to me getting tools for my DIY duties, both in my house and their’s. Fathers Day this year a new electric drill and hammer drill, Birthday a paint spray gun, Christmas this year will be either a nail gun or a selection of drills, drill bits, and various general tools that need replaced.
Of course a could give wee hints but much better to put your (christmas) cards on the table lol.
