I recently sold my 1/2 router and bought a makita 18v 1/4in one instead.
I now actually use it - rather than do things badly with other tools because i can't be arsed the faff of getting it out and handling it (it weighed plenty).
Agree that you need something big for proper routing - but trimming doors/hinges/routing rabbets (americanism?) for boxes is super easy and unfaffy by comparison. would buy again.

A palm router.
The gift of no longer having to procrastinate over which one to buy will be almost as much of a gift as the tool itself.
Although I wonder if I should have at least dropped a hint about having mainly DeWalt tools to see if they could be nudged to the dual palm/plunge one.
