Need "Secret Santa" idea for a yuppie

[Patiod]

It's for a kid in my office. I asked his friend, and got lame suggestions: "iTunes giftcard, anything Golf related, early times whiskey and diet coke"

He's a nice guy, just got married, but I dont' know ANYTHING about him (other than what his friend told me - golf and whiskey)

Everyone here is pretty competitive, wit-wise, and I don't want to just lamely buy the booze.

Any clever ideas? It's tomorrow, of course.

1. Lots of people I know (myself included)

would love the iTunes card.

4. If only it wasn't tomorrow!!!

Just what's called for!!!!!

Perfect.

Oh well, I'll probably go with the iTunes card or restaurant GC.

5. Go by a specialty golf store, or if you have a cigar store in the area.

They sometimes carry flasks.

3. Restaurant gift certificates are always nice

Something he can share with his wife.

11. I'll probably go with that

Or the itunes thing, given the time limits....

[Patiod]

7. Why would you say that?

Oddly enough, I just yesterday had a long email exchange with a client about how "kids" these days are buying vinyl again.

alan, is that you?

10. just seems like something a yuppie may be in to. nt.

[Patiod]

13. Wow! It seems they are!

My SO ordered a Clash album recently, and when we went to pick it up at B&N, the kid behind the counter handed me a big-ass package. Seeing my alarm, he said "you ordered an LP, right?" I said no, and that he probably would have to send it back - who wanted vinyl anymore?

Wow! I got schooled! Evidently, he and his friends DID buy vinyl. And were into the Clash! (so it's not just old fogies like my S.O.)

Who knew? Kids these days.

16. What's wrong with the booze? Get a real nice bottle of whiskey
