so. How 'bout a graveyard knife? A nice big one; one that you could use to pry a lid off a coffin or similar.


Or a swashbuckling kit? An eye patch? Peg leg? Day at a Man Spa?

How about a gyro? My dad got me one when I was a little girl. Yes, he got his six year old daughter a working gyro. A gift I've never forgotten. Might be appropriate for your son, though.
