My DH's toys are...wait for it...sewing machines! He likes to buy machines that need a little bit of work (some of them have needed lots of work :shock: ), he fixes them and I get my pick of whichever ones I want. He has sold some, and plans to sell more, but for now, he just loves to tinker with them. He also helps me sew stuff--pajamas for all of our grandkids (25 pair this year for Christmas...) and quilts when he feels like it. A new hobby he just started is playing guitar. He also is now collecting and/or building amplifiers (the old kind, with the tubes in 'em...). So nice--I get to hear him play guitar while I quilt in the room next door.

BF has lots of expensive tools, (hes a regular and diesel mechanic), his guns and now he is looking for a Model A car to restore. Much more expensive than fabric, lol!

My hubby has a powered parachute besides his tractor, trailers, tools etc. We both love our "toys".

My late husband accumulated 3 vintage motorcycles each with a sidecar. We had great fun with them. Also every tool known to man.
