What are some (less than $30) gift ideas that would be thoughtful for someone in the hobby?
Oh. That is a good one too. My GF got me a cheap one from amazon for like 15 bucks and i use it ALL THE TIME!I don't really know about the prices but maybe some sort of microscope for sexing smaller tarantulas?
Any suggestions within my price range? He has 60+ Ts.. so, I have no clue where to even start. I would love to buy him another what used to be known as Smithi (but is now not called that and I am blanking what it is now) because it was his first T 11 years ago... would that be in the price range as a sling?A spider?
I want to get him something specific to this hobby as I want to show my support in a tangible and thoughtful way.Something with a blade(s). Yes, some of us have other interests that even exceed arachnids.
Victorinox Explorer, it’s a Swiss Army Knife that he can keep at his spider station. I use mine constantly for cutting up meal worms, opening stuck enclosure lids, has a magnifying glass that helps sexing molts, it’s a hobby specific tool. Heck, this hobby is probably one of the few places there is actually a practical use for that hook tool. It’s great for moving plastic plants, etc., that the little beasties may be hiding under and you don’t want to get your fingers too close. Plus, you can actually use it to complete light duty chores around the house.I want to get him something specific to this hobby as I want to show my support in a tangible and thoughtful way.

Now I know I'm not the most "go with the flow" sort but I'd be mad if someone bought me a random invert.B.smithi is now B.hamorii
I think 30 dollars should get you at least a sling, even in the US.
I think you're absolutely great, supporting him this way
I think she wanted it to be a sort of trip down memory lane-kind of thing? Not just a 'random invert'...Now I know I'm not the most "go with the flow" sort but I'd be mad if someone bought me a random invert.
Not ungrateful mad but it's my pet and I'd have liked to choose my own mad.
So maybe a voucher if they're available? That shows you where absolutely thinking about their passion whilst allowing them to pick their own pet.
Failing that money with a little hand written note. "Tarantula money".
I'm a sullen bugger though don't forget. I can only type about how I'd sulk.I think she wanted it to be a sort of trip down memory lane-kind of thing? Not just a 'random invert'...
