Default Father's Day gifts

Ok...what are some good Father's Day gifts that are not electronic gadgets, etc. My husband is a geek (and that's awesome). However, I don't want to buy him anything like that. Too much junk.

What are you getting and what are some green ideas?

I seem to remember when we had a lot of discussion of green holiday gift-giving that one of the points was to give a service rather than a physical gift, like tickets to a show or a gift certificate for a massage. For the geek in your life, how about a trip to Vancouver's Science World? Or the Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre?

You're a lucky girl, Peachy. So many green projects are of the do-it-yourself variety, I think a geek husband would come in very handy!

I enjoy getting a big batch of nice green plants.

If you can afford it Wind Turbine project or maybe a small set of solar panels they're pretty cheap and great for gadgets
