I love the clock idea! I guess Christmas gift idea topics are actual again. I enjoy souvenirs and stunning handmade stuff, but this year I decided to surprise my dad with a toy for "big boys". I found a good job in 2017 (my first job actually) and I am just anxious now to present him something "real". I want to buy us a pair of remote control trucks (from this list
http://rcstate.com/best-remote-control-truck/ ) to play together. Last two years we could see each other not to so often as I would like to, so that I just decided I must fix this in 2018. Modern remote control toys are very advanced, they're really fast, powerful, stable on different roads including rocks and terrains, have durable batteries, and some of them are even upgradable. I read a lot of positive reviews on rc trucks, I think they could entertain us very well.
