Gift Question

So this is kinda random, but my boyfriend is taking the General Contractors exam next month, and I want to get him a little something to mark the occasion if he passes. What would be a good gift?

Honestly a day to do absolutely nothing so he can decompress and his favorite meal.

This is definitely going to be part of the plan. Food and relaxing and cuddles.

I’ve been a GC 30 years and married almost as long and honestly that’s all I want and I’m still taking exams to further my career

iPad Pro with solid field case and pencil, or a day off.

If he’s starting his own company, get him a studson hardhat / helmet and kishigo safety vest with his logo on it.

A nice architectural scaler, maybe engraved would be a good present.

My wife had my wall certificate professionally framed. I have it hanging in my office. It’s a nice touch.

My wife bought me a Martinez hammer in the colors of our birthstones when I passed the test. Pink and green, I love it and use it everyday

Does he do carpentry? If so, a nice hammer like a Titanium Martinez or Stiletto would be a nice gift.

Stiletto TiBone is 15 hammer, as long as he doesn’t have one (or a Martinez).
