I am at the point in life, I really don't want gifts from my kids, what I need I can afford, what I want like an nice sports car the kids cannot afford. 
Having said that, without my input they are going to give me stuff regardless, and without my input they gave me gifts that I truly didn't want or couldn't use.
A couple Items I told them I wanted were real game changers in my barbecuing, where consistency is everything.
Thermapen makes a thermometer that helped me realize how inaccurate my analog ones were.

Competition pitmasters use the fancier one:

But, the more inexpensive one has worked excellently for five years.
And on the grill, the Redi Chek Maverick does a great job monitoring the grill and meat temperature, making raising the hood unnecessary and allowing a more efficient experience....My analog one that is threaded into the hood is off by 40 degrees on the average. And with this tool you can check your indoor oven...my door gasket showed evidence of leakage, and this allowed me to make adjustments at the knob instead of replacing the gasket....(My appliances are due to be mustered out the door in a few years, and I have no desire to spend money if I don't have to.)

I give both, a four out of four stars.

Top one looks like the one Son gave wife with the exception probe slides into a Silicon spatula so you can stir and see temp, really nifty. My kids are now with their own family to buy for, I tell them I don't want anything if I need something I buy it. All my appliances are crashing, bought a Side by side last week. Quality is nil nowadays even when you pay for it.
