I love it! So many times I've could have used one of those... Unfortunately not in stock at the moment :(

They're supposedly coming back in stock soon, fwiw

"Back in stock" - I'm still waiting on my 12 month delayed Kickstarter ;-)

Or a Massey Ferguson 7250 DI Power Up tractor

I don’t get it. Is there something special about this tractor or why would it make a fun gift?

Born in 72 and 50 years old, hence a 7250 DI Power Up. Also yes, it looks fun.

Got that as a gift about 22 years ago, still use it at least once a month.

Same here!

I got a set of kitchen knives, medium++ quality. That was a great gift because I occasionally cook and never have anything appropriate.

I very much like the japanese chef knive (large rectangle one).

After that I got an electric sharpener (chef choice 15xv)
