I would agree with some kind of handyman set, if you're planning on being a handyman now. Is there anything house-wise that you'd change? For instance...
My husband's wish list included 2 things and his parents gave him both: an iron skillet (mine were all non-stick), and a non-electric can opener. I think it's supposed to be more manly than using an electric/battery powered one??
Oh well, he does use them.
