@hmartin,
Outdoors type stuff could include a decent pair of binoculars or a nice bird watching guide (you just missed the
Christmas Bird Count, but you could get him started for next year). Snowshoes might be an interesting gift, but they are not cheap depending on your definition. There are lots of theology gifts available, especially books or magazine subscriptions, but you'd have to ask someone with a similar interest to recommend one (perhaps your religion leader).
