His gift was an 18-volt electric drill to replace the previous one which died. It has two battery packs so he always has a charged unit in reserve. And it levels both horizontally and vertically. (See? I was paying attention.) He wishes he'd had it when he was installing the new weather station.

It's "Crochet for Bears to Wear" by Amy O'Neill Houck. I believe she wrote one for knitters, too. It's helpful that she includes areas to write the bear's measurements so that the pattern can be altered.
