What to get a trader husband for Christmas?

Quote from phisigjaybird:

Hello boys,
So here is my dilemma:
My husband is a full-time trader in futures, etc. (after five years together, I still don't know the terminology) and is always lurking on this board. I guess I am one of the few wives who while I don't completely understand what he does, I know he makes money and that a certain amount ends up in our bank account every month. As I think a wife should, I support him and just try to let me do this with little or no interference from me.
That explanation aside, this is the first time we are exchanging X-mas gifts this year since we were dating. Since trading is basically his life, I thought that it would be a good place to start for gift ideas. The problem is I don't know what a trader would want for Christmas. I pride myself on being the person people know to give good gifts, but I can't think of a damn thing for my husband. Therefore, I thought I'd post on here and see what you all, other traders, thought were good gift suggestions.
So, occasional sarcasm aside (and you all are a funny bunch), if your wife or significant other was going to give you a gift for X-mas that had to do with trading, what gift would you love to receive from her or him?
Any and all suggestions are appreciated!

Odds favour that you are masquerading as your own Wife ( after all this is ET), so just buy what you want.

Do the flying twice a week from market close to sunset as a fun experience. Doing over 5g's repeatedly is not too cool brain wise.

Or sailing a few times a week in 30 footer singlehanded is fun and relaxing too.

For improving his trading or amateur sports car racing more than any other single thing, get him an emwave pc. Use the alternative to the finger.
 
<b>bunds,</b> shame you don't know how to find the right American women. Such a pity, really.

OP... your husband would appreciate quality time with you. Trading is no different than any other job, profession or career. it's merely a way to earn money =create time freedom to spend doing the good things in life. Trading and markets are boring at the pro's level.

Direct your focus on something that includes quality time spent with you. A secondary gift that pertains to work would be fine as a constant reminder. Bull riders don't want a flak jacket, football traders don't want a jersey, traders don't want a monitor for gifts. Those are just tools of the profession. Think personal :)

Call me old-fashioned but breakfast in bed and a BJ would be better than anything that money can buy.:p

Got to admit as I was scrolling down reading the responses, this was the only idea that popped into my head. Ladies spend so much time agonizing over what fancy gift to buy when a BJ and Eggs costs almost nothing and will be remembered the most.
 
make a charitable donation ,trading is a very selfish profession and really has no positive world impact,so a donation of his hard earned cash might give him a warm fuzzy feelng,show him the reciept after you've made him feel warm and fuzzy,it'll make warm and fuzzy more memorable
 
My wife one year got me a pair of gold dice(along with a few other things). Each side was written one of the following "Buy, Hold or Sell". It was a nice thought.

I know my wife has a hard time buying as well but as another poster said..try and find something that isn't related to trading.

What does he like?
