I'm not very easy to shop for. I'm the type of person who goes out of my way to get myself whatever I want which has always been me. My SS knocked it out of the park though. He got me a Hydro Flask which is actually really cool for the area I live where Hiking and other mountain adventures are huge. Keep in mind I never mentioned anything about this so I think that makes it even a cooler gift. Then got me some really awesome socks. A man could always use more socks but on top of that these are good for inclement weather or long hikes. I actually used to have these while I was in the Military and I love them. The last gift was a game called Dinocide. I have no clue what this game is but I looked it up and it's like an old school platformer game which was my favorite types of games as a kid. The cool thing is even if I don't like the game my wife is already super excited about it and my kid is like me and loves platformers so it'll definitely get use. Overall this was a super awesome gift and I generally have low expectations cause I know I'm hard to shop for but my SS knocked it out of the park all around!
