Give your man one of these.

This is an awesome gift. Period.

Cheap, but so freaking useful. I sometimes give these as gifts to my friends.
I carry the survival knife at all times. Mostly just use it as a knife or bottle opener.
The size and profile is perfect. I don't want a bulky knife in my pocket, I want a flat blade.
This fits the bill perfectly.

$3,800

Years ago, I took loans for college. After graduation, payment became due at $50 per month, and the interest came out to about $200 per year. In other words, 25% of my monthly payments were just going to interest alone instead of paying down the debt.

I decided this might be good for my credit score. A long history going on for years, of steady payments on a loan. Next month, the final payment will be done.

I will have paid $600 in interest on a loan for $3,800. That's around 15%.

It was nice being able to make such ridiculously low monthly payments. But what of my credit score?
Will I look like pure awesomeness? We'll find out.

The Frog Prince

Never before have I ever seen an animated movie with such deep meaning, never one which was so delicately written that a child would feel it were made just for them, as much as any adult.

That good. So good I tell my friends.
It gets my glowing review.
