Christmas shopping

I'm on the hunt for Christmas presents for my favorite bonsai addict. What do ya'll think? New pots? Bags of soil? Decorations? He's got plenty of stock, lots of plants in training and some old specimens, lots of books. Maybe new tools? I've got a limit of $150 and want to surprise him. What do YOU want for Christmas this year?
Tally HO!

RE: Christmas shopping

My wife surprised me with a beautiful Arbortech angle grinder which I have put to good use carving deadwood on large juniper bonsai. Also you could get a Dremel with a complete set of bits for your price limit. Another useful grinding tool would be a diegrinder by Makita or DeWalt. They are in that range also. Don't get the really cheap ones sold by Harbor Freight, mine burned out a bearing in just a few hours of use. Jack
