We'll be at my in-laws for Christmas this year, and as it'll be a large group, we did kriskringle for presents (ie everyone draws a name out of a hat and only buys for that person, rather than everyone, thus keeping cost down and everyone still gets a present). My husband got his brother-in-law and I drew the BIL's 16 year old son; they both enjoy hunting and the Razorbacks (but dad already has season tickets, so that is out as a present idea)- the boy is very sporty and the father likes reading.
We thought it would be a nice idea to get them a present they can share and enjoy together, so I am looking for present ideas for a 16 year old boy and his 40 year old dad. There is no spending guideline, but we are thinking no more than 200 dollars for the two of them, 300 if we can find "the ideal thing".


Any suggestions, ideas, tips where to look? I was thinking maybe an "activity day" such as driving tanks or big game hunting or whatever, if such is available within a day's drive of NW Arkansas, but something they could build together or something else that leads to time together might be an idea too.
