Default Christmas problem

Hi, I have a problem....

My wife wants to know what to purchase for my Christmas present (ideas). I have most the tools I need, could always have more I guess. Bought a Foredom last year. She bought me a nice Grizzly bandsaw for fathers day. I have a Razertip burner which I use. A complete chainsaw carving set.

Guess I dont have a carvers bench or vise.

Anyway, I am looking for really great ideas. I know it sounds silly but I am really stuck on ideas. I am looking for creative must have ideas.

Any thoughts? (my thought is that I can't think of what I havent thought of)

Greg

How about a decent router so you can make your own fancy bases for the carvings?

Books, wood, a trip to a carving show, a class from someone that would be like a vacation, or that carving bench or vice idea sounds good to me.
Good luck with that....doesn't sound like much of a problem...
