Fry 'Em Up

For my boyfriend's birthday I gave him some money to get a new frying pan. He found a nice set of them at Sam's Club.  He was going to get the ones with the black exterior, but I spotted the red ones and twisted his arm. We haven't even opened the box yet, but I'll take photos when we do. Is getting him a pan for his birthday like getting a baseball mitt for your mom? (Giggles).
