How about getting the fella a certificate for a National Park Inn/Lodge overnight? He can ride his motorcycle to the Park! :)

Lara @ Luellabella said...

I have fabric on my wishlist and some aurifil thread - but I'm not really expecting to receive those because I don't think hubby would know where to go to buy them!

Heather said...

Well, hubby lost his job Oct 31, so, well, that's on my list, for him to find a new one. Really though, all my family is coming to visit, so I'm just so grateful to have us all be together.

Leanne said...

I would get him an itunes gift card and a case for his ipod/iphone/musical device that he listens to while he is riding. Lovely giveaway, I would love each one of those fabrics.

Leanne said...

Of course I follow your lovely blog, thank you for the chance to win.

JoyceLM said...

How about a GPS for his motorcycle. My husband got one for his motorcycle. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Laura said...

I have a memory foam pillow on my wishlist.

Rie said...

There is a book called... The Toaster Project - I bought it for my brother who is really hard to buy for & he LOVED it. Basically it is the story of a guy who makes a toaster from scratch, he even makes the plastic!

JustPam said...

Fabric is on my wish list. Does your step dad have an ipad/notebook? My husband loves his.

Julianne said...

I'm a happy follower!

stitchingandbacon said...

I am asking for a new computer, but we will see... Have I been good this year?

InkyStitches said...

For a gift, how about a carrying case for his iPad, Kindle or laptop (assuming he has one)? I recently made myself a drawstring bag to hold all my cords for our various Apple devices, instead of scattering them around my desk, which could be a great add-on gift too.

Anne Simonot said...

I would love some new rulers as mine keep hitting the floor (falling off the table) and cracking! And a new rotary cutter! Beautiful fabrics and colours in that bundle!
annesimonot@sasktel.net

Beth said...

He's a tech guy? Does he like to read? I enjoyed Mark Bowden's book "Worm" about the attempts to bring down the Internet and the way a band of smart, heroic techies foiled them.

Heather Feather said...

Needled Mom said...

I'd love some new gardening tools.

dwylie said...

Totally boring, but I really want lights for my basement so I can see what I am sewing at night. :)

Kathy said...

I think I am wanting the wing Clipper tool of Deb Tucker. Does your Biker step-dad like to drink? Alcohol sure sounds like a good way to warm up the holidays!

M said...

I want a diamond ring. ;)

michaelacking(at)gmail(dot)com

Lindsay said...

Earrings are at the top of my wishlist this year!

My Dad is about that same age and is an engineer and I am actually going to get him a magazine subscription this year-but he goes on lots of business trips and will appreciate having some airplane reading material (and it comes with a free digital subscription so he can just bring his ipad if he doesn't want the bulk of an actual magazine)

natalie christensen said...

Fabric is always on my list. All of the pearl bracelet colors are my favorites.

Winter said...

My dad is a motorcycling man and my mom ordered him a personalize bobble head. ( you send in a picture and they actually great a head that looks like the rider!!) and he comes on a little motorbike! Super cute!

Delores said...

My wishlist isn't very long! Just to spend time with my family, especially the grandkids.
Love your giveaway!

Tennjenny said...

I cannot help you with your step-dad, yikes that's tough! But I can answer the other question: Chicopee and Field Study.

Amy Gibson said...

I'm hoping for any of the following: new Olfa cutting mat, label maker, or a steam mop!

Debbie said...

yup, fabric is on my list too!

april said...

Pretty bundle! I want salt water for Xmas:)
How about a Harley gift card for your stepdad? My hubby always gets geeked for those....

Amy's Crafty Shenanigans said...

I had pinking shears on my wish list but bought them in the sale the other day ... will have to think of something else now!! Super giveaway :) amycav at hotmail dot com

Amy's Crafty Shenanigans said...

I am a new follower :) For your step-dad, what about an electronic game like Battleship (he'll need a friend too!)? As you can see, I am rubbish at men's gifts ;)

vanaehsa said...

Maybe a custom tshirt with some motorcycle on it?

leanne said...

thanks for the giveaway - haven't really thought about what I want - always too busy thinking about what I need to get / make for others ! a suggestion for your step-dad is maybe a magazine subscription - either bikes or technology :)

texheks said...

I would love some thimble pads... or my fingers would love them...

I wish that Santa would send some of his best Elves to clean up my little sewing room!

Tanya said...

Clothes, always clothes. I don't buy myself much throughout the year

Jodi said...

Fabric and a rottary cutter are on my list. As for your dad does he have a blue tooth helmet kit for his bike. I don't know much about them but from what I understand you can actually listen to music while you ride and maybe even take calls depending on your set up.

Desi @ Wee Share said...

You could get a friend who lives in a different state to mail you a shirt from their local Harley dealership!

A Silhouette Cameo is at the top of my list.

Canadian Abroad said...

I have a new pair of earrings on my wishlist. No idea what they should look like but just think I need something pretty.

My husband is a motorcycle loving tech head but I haven't a clue what to get him. Mostly because he buys what he wants when he wants it and then leaves nothing for a Christmas list. Sorry, I am no help!

I don't like shopping for my Dad. =( So can't help you there. As to my list...I don't have one. I did write on another blog that I would LOVE a massage...I think that's because I've got tension in my neck today. =)

Thanks for a chance to win.

For Christmas I'd like a serger. For your FIL I am no help (sorry!) This is wonderful, thanks!

Ellen said...

Check out Uncommon Goods and/or Think Geek online for your step dad. I just bought my brother a cardboard animal head to mount on his wall (he's a vegetarian) and my husband is getting vinyl record coasters. ;)

Jo Robertson (thejoyofthehousetomyself) said...

you could get him one of those things that keep your face neck warm. I think they are called buffs - they are stretchy and you can pull them over your head face etc!

Staci said...

For Christmas I'd love some photography reflectors so I can take better blog photos. Thanks for a chance at that pretty fabric!

Sorry I can't help you on the gift, I'm struggling to figure out what to get my hubby (50 y.o. and can't figure out technology).

My wish list? I would love a knitting bag, one of those ones that look like a purse? Oh they are so special and nothing I would ever purchase for myself.

Michelle Frame said...

I really want a new sewing machine.

Jo said...

Ok motorcycle guys, I have this covered. First you know those little trays that fold flat and have velcro in the corners great for motorcycle travel, there is the old stand by of doo rags or welders caps, I make my DH's doo rags out of Harley knit boxers I find on sale and put a bit of elastic and a drawstring with a locking bead they stay on up to about 120 mph. Use a motorcycle tee shirt to make a drawstring bag for his rain gear. You could make a seat cover for when the bike gets parked in the rain so his buns stay dry when he gets back on rip stop nylon works well so does laminated cotton. A small first aide kit is a good thing to keep on a bike, also a tool roll so the tools are not rolling around in the bottom of the saddle bags. a Helmet bag so that it doesn't get scratched up when not on his head and some of those boxy bags to use for shower needs or whatever he wants to put in them...if you need more ideas send me an email and I will see if I can help you out.

My wish list has a stitch rip on the top. Seriously.

Gift idea for your step-pop: what about a home brew beer kit? I gave my hubs one when we got married and he's now brewing up 5 gallon kegs of the stuff, 3 at a time! Definitely a gift that keeps giving.

For your step-dad: a pillowcase in motorcycle-themed fabric.

My dad has similar likes to your step-dad, although he is more into cars. He enjoys books on cars (the hard back editions, with lots of photos but also lots of technical details), so maybe something similar, but on motorcycles?
