No body pays attention to what she was asking for, something rocketry related but not a kit.
I did suggest a small lathe.

I got a wooden toolbox, one of those things they only seem to sell at Christmas, as a gift a few years before I got back into rocketry, and it sat around empty. But boy, is it a good range box!As far as the launch box goes your best bet is to look at fishing tackle boxes, but it needs to be a large one. Take a look at what he normally brings with to a launch as see how much room he needs and then add more he will use it.
Hi - I know next-to-nothing about model rockets, but my husband has been building/launching rockets since he was a kid, and it seems like I always get him a rocket kit for his birthday and Christmas (which are 5 days apart and that stinks! haha).
I am wondering if you can suggest rocketry-related gifts other than kits. I was thinking a launch box or something, which would be useful, but not really a "wow!" kind of gift. Help me?!
Thanks.
Thanks for the great suggestions, everyone! I will check everything out but the altimeter sounds cool (just afraid if he loses a rocket it will be gone!) and the tools that were mentioned. I will check out his motor situation tomorrow when he's at work. I am confident he does not have any reloadable motors so that is also a big possibility. And I may just get him a NAR t-shirt or something with it. Not very 'wow' but I know he would like it and wear it with pride.
And Thirsty guy...I don't think I am your wife. haha! But if my husband is on here (I am not even sure?!) then he will definitely know this is me by the user name! Agh.
Thanks again -- these are really all great ideas that I would never have thought of. Will keep checking back for more replies. Have a great rest of the weekend!
