Need a Christmas gift for my boyfriend!

I'm having trouble deciding on a gift for my bf (28M). Money is a little bit tight right now as he just got back into working and isn't up to full-time yet, and I've cut back to 30 hour weeks as I'm 7 months pregnant. Thankfully, I got a Christmas check that will buy gifts for everyone without having to worry about re arranging our regular monthly budget. My budget for his gift is $150 (I could possibly go just a little over) and I would ideally like a couple of gifts that add up to that amount, but I'm also open to just one on the higher end. I have Amazon Prime so anything off of there would be best. We only have one car and I have a bit of driving anxiety so 99% of the time when I'm at a physical store he's with me.

  • He enjoys power tools and his good drill died on him a few months back. He does still have one that works but it's very old. But my concern with a drill as a gift is that he won't get much use out of it in the near future. We've done a lot of projects around our home recently and I don't think we'll be doing much else of anything any time soon. Especially when we have an infant who's sleep is crucial for our sanity (we have a very small home with thin walls so any noise can be heard anywhere in the house). I just don't want to get him a gift that he'll have to shove away in the garage for who knows how long, I'd like him to be able to enjoy it as soon as possible.

  • He enjoys cooking and does all of the cooking for us. He does want an air fryer or a 4-slot toaster. Only issue is we are living with his mom due to our rough financial patch and I don't want to spend a lot of money on appliances or cookware that might not come with us when we move out. He has some boundary issues with his mom and I feel like he would feel compelled to leave our appliances behind because they "belong to the house".

  • Overall he's a very outdoorsy type of man. Enjoys fishing, camping, being in nature. I'm not the outdoorsy type so idk what kind of stuff to get for that. But I do know that he has a bit of camping stuff already, just not sure what exactly he has and doesn't have.

  • He has ADHD so he likes anything that he can fidget around or play with that doesn't require too much focus. He also likes novelty type items. He has a plasma ball, newton's cradle, etc. So something in that ballpark maybe??

  • He likes collecting knives. And bones. Basically he's just a basic manly man lol....

  • Likes outer space too. Maybe a telescope??

  • Rolling massagers and stuff like that also catch his eye at the store. I have a bit of arthritis so giving him a massage is sometimes difficult for me, and I feel so bad because he massages me often. I've also considered maybe looking on Groupon for a professional massage experience for him?

I just feel like nothing I can come up with on my own is good enough. I love my boyfriend very dearly and he does literally so much for me and has put up with so much hormonal bullshit from me throughout this pregnancy. I want to give him something that will make him very happy because that's all that I want for him. So any suggestions are very much appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read this and help ♥️
