Yep, it's a good idea, and I might bring it to the wife, as we generally get whatever we need (and many things we want within reason) during the year. I've been a good boy, so I was hoping for some more ideas. I'm thinking the Maxpedition bag I have in my wishlist might be a good time to try, and a lot of the gear mentioned definitely looks interesting. Maybe I should try to pickup some summer-time gear deals?

Aside from the buying parts to repair your vehicle or going on mini-vacations, any other ideas? Or am I right that not a whole lot of cool innovative gadgets have come out in the last year or two? :-)
