Husband is a major genius. Degrees in physics and engineering. I have no idea what to buy him for Christmas. He's into robots and his computer, but I don't know enough specs on either one to make intelligent shopping choices for him. I kind of feel like a gift card is a cop out. Any ideas for something engaging to the intellectual type? (p.s. he's not into gaming)

maybe you can find a book or magazine that he doesn't already have. Good magazines for robot hobbyists are Robot, www.botmag.com, and Servo, www.servomagazine.com.
The Propeller microcontroller is about a year old, but he might not have it yet. It is a great core part for a wide variety of projects, and there is an 'education kit' that goes with it. you can look on www.parallax.com.
There is are a couple of new robot kits/toys this season that is down to $300. one is i-sobot, the other is spyke by meccano, just search for them. I would want one.

Robots and his computer? Get him something that can be computer controlled like a Nikon D200 or new D300 digital camera. There's software you can buy (Capture) that lets you operate the camera remotely. Canon may have something analogous.

How about writing him a poem and presenting it with his favorite meal and desert and then when he's watching a game or on the computer working go and silently clean out his car inside and out .

confident, we in easy terms see a sliver of each and every of the cost of God, of all his ask your self-working miracles and excellent creations. what's in this earth is extra advantageous than we even can understand of his greatness, yet there is a great universe too and extra galaxies previous ours. that's extra advantageous than we are able to understand. i've got seen miracles and heard of miracles that I hesitate to proportion with human beings because of the fact they won't have the skill to have faith it yet i comprehend that remember can pass via remember for one element. So, i'm going to depart it at that. The organic in heart will see God. (Matt. 5:8) I agree! we are able to establish so lots extra!!!

A bottle of good wine, some olive oil, and you in a negligee.
He may be a man of science, but he is still a man.

If he's like me, he'd prefer to select his own tech rather than have you pick it out.
Anyway, I suggest that for a gift you buy him something that you know he wants but can't bring himself to buy for himself. It's different for every guy...for me, it's Star Trek and Star Wars collectibles. I love 'em but I generally can't bring myself to spend hard-earned money on them. Which makes me really easy to buy for on holidays and birthdays :)
