Trugs are Ideal for that 'Different' Gift
Here are some suggestions

Anniversary
Retirement
  How many times have we all sat and thought, "what on
  earth can I buy him/her?" We are all guilty of buying
  things that 'will do', perfume, after shave, confectionary,
  a meal out in a restaraunt etc. etc. but running the risk
  of self promotion, a trug will seriously last for many,
  many years and your gift will be remembered and
  appreciated for the same many, many years. Recently a
  gentleman made a 45  mile trip to my workshop bearing
  a trug that I made some 25 years ago. The bottom
  board had completely worn through and the feet were
  missing. He did not want a new trug as he was so
  attached to his trug. I replaced the bottom board and
  feet and returned it for just the cost of postage - he was
  very happy. 
  A trug as a gift will allways be remembered and
  appreciated.
