I usually can never come up with any ideas but recently one popped in my head. My husband’s bday isn’t until the beginning of next month so I’ll have it all ready well ahead of time. It’s hidden in my stepsons room where all the spare stuff is while he’s away with the marines.
He love’s Milwaukee tool products and these cases snap on. The base has wheels so they can be wheeled around. I bought it at Lowe’s for around $80.
I got some goodies that he will like and I put them inside. It filled the top larger portions but all the bottom spots are still empty so I will pick up some little bags of chocolates or something for these .

@kareng for our anniversary on the 5th I got him a cart dolly. He has to borrow my dad’s and we’ve had a washing machine sitting on our front porch all summer. I thought it would be a great gift so he has his own and can move heavy things. Apparently it wasn’t a very good gift because he asked why I bought that and didn’t say thanks. Oh well

@wolfgirl569 I sure hope so but I am pretty confident this time he will. Other years I’ve given him gift cards to Home Depot and he would be like why did you get me this. Um because I thought you could use it since you shop there all the time why else

@shaggin My hubby is hard to buy for. One year he said he wanted nothing. So I typed nothing in Amazon's search bar. Found a coffee cup that says I hate when I get up and trump is still president. He loves it

@wolfgirl569 That was a good idea. I might keep that in mind for Vince - a cup with something on it but maybe not the Trump thing although he would love it too.

@celticeagle I told him last night I used my babysitting money to buy his gift. I wish it was sooner that his birthday is since I’m excited to give it to him.

@toniganzon I think he would have liked it on its own but more fun with the goodies inside it.

@RasmaSandra I have high hopes that he will love it. But you never know with him. It was my babysitting money that bought it all so if he doesn’t like it well at least it wasn’t his money wasted.

What a wonderful idea! And the great thing about the Milwaukee storage cases is that you can keep adding to them each year if you want. They have so many different cases that all snap together to form the perfect pack out kit. And filling them with goodies is the icing on the cake!
I'm actually glad I came across your post, because my son is big on Milwaukee tools as well, and now you just gave me inspiration for what I can get him for Christmas!

@moffittjc yes I saw there were a lot of other ones to add. He has quite a few already. I’ll have to try to go in the garage to get a picture that would help me next time if I want to try to buy one he doesn’t have. I’m so happy to hear that my idea gave you an idea for your son for Christmas. That makes my day!

@snowy22315 I think so too. I had a dream about a purple dress shirt I mentioned to him. I saw they had nice ones at Walmart for very low cost so I think I will buy one and roll it up and put it inside one of the compartments. If he never wears it I’m not out much money.

@thislittlepennyearns never heard it called that before but that’s a great name for this kind of thing.
