What gift should I ask for on my birthday?

[Hiker]

I'm at a loss on what to ask for my birthday and thought I'd turn to TGO for help. Afterall, we have similar interests!

I was not thinking firearms - my friends and family are generous but let's be serious!

Thought we could have some fun with this one and perhaps surface a great idea or two.

It would help to know your age and interest.....

Ask them to be there for you when you get old...

[TripleDigitRide]

I stopped asking for gifts when I was still a teenager. People already know my interests, so I'm just happy with whatever I get.

[Hiker]

If I don't ask...I don't get.

I'll be 50 September 19th.

Maybe some extra mags or ammo maybe some accessories if thats in the budget. Maybe reloading components. Maybe some nice survival gadgets.

Good pair of Binos..

A chronograph is always fun to mess around with

Peltor hearing protection is good

a range finder

[Howler]

A new knife.

ammo

TGO Benefactor membership

[Trekbike]

A new knife.

I agree. They can be as cheap or expensive as someone wants to spend.

gift cards / cash work as you get older. People do not know what you already have, or want, its an easy way out. Of course its nice to unwrap stuff if they know you well enough, but getting $20 each from 10 people at your favorite ammo store is also really nice....

trouble is when their time comes around you give it back, so its really, if you think about it, just an excuse to spend your own money on stuff you want

Why don't they build you a cake or something

Hookers and blow. Works every time.

Time.

There's stuff I want, but what good is the stuff when you rarely ever have time to enjoy it? Time to go do whatever you want with whomever you want.

iPad

Wireless bluetooth/kleer/whatever noise canceling headphones.

Am/Fm headphones for mowing. Or small FM reciever gadget for covert game listening.

Metal Detector < I've been eyeing a new one, my b-day is soon too. I'm big into this stuff.

Huge TV. I think Sony has a 90 inch

[AU_88]

Macallan.

AARP membership? You qualify at 50. But in all serisnous, you can never go wrong with a reloader.....it's the gift that keeps on giving. And once you retire you will be well versed in the process, then can reload for your friends who don't and make a little money on the side.

I would go with some good binoculars or a spotting scope.

Don't reload and sell ammo, that is illegal without the proper licensing.
