Hey all - the title really says everything... There are a pair of 2nds I work with quite often and they killed it on a job recently and I wanted to get them something that was useful to them as a “thank you”. I’ve done ARRI run bags and Robocups in the past so those are off-limits - curious if anyone had some cool little gadgets that would be useful on set?

I personally love to give a slate. Thats something they cary around for a long time. https://filmsticks.org/
True - they both have slates already, I think... But this is definitely always a good one!
Leatherman Wave! I've seen so many 2nd's with crappy multitools :)
Seconded on the leatherman. I had a 1st give me that early on it my professional career and that was a BIG DEAL! Amazing gift and long lasting.
Wrap gifts that I have bought multiple times
On my last project I bought some artwork from Robertas Nevecka : https://akisbado.com/
Hahah that’s what I gave them for Christmas this year 😅 Great minds think alike!
It really depends. My regular 2nd is A HUGE Start Wars fan so I get him stuff that's related. I printed a baby Yoda for him last week... 😉 Other than that, here in the US I get them filmtools gift card, cook them (and partner) a nice 7 course meal, take them fishing or something I know they like. I've also just asked them what do they need and got that...
7 course?????
🤣I love cooking... 😉
