    Gift idea?

    My best friend is turning 30 in February. I want to get him a nice gift but am at a loss. He's hard to buy for. He is an attorney, he likes sports, the outdoors, all kinds of music, he lives in South Georgia, um, what else?, he likes photography, has a golden retriever, loves Arrested Development and The Office (added as a character reference). I'd like to spend around $100. Help me out guys!!

    Does he have the Arrested Dev. dvd's? My 16 y.o. has them and we ALL love them! That'll run you about $75.

    He bought all the seasons for himself. But excellent try! Keep 'em coming!

    Hmmm... it's nothing fancy or expensive, but the Dwight bobblehead from The Office is sure to get a big laugh.

    I like it! Maybe just a plethora of random gifts rather that one big thing. BTW, where might I find this Dwight bobblehead you speak of?

    Also look on www.gifts.com
    Someone (maybe you?) linked us all to this at Xmas. It has great gift ideas for the hard to buy for. Also, www.exposuresonline.com has some great frames and some beautiful, hand-tooled leather photo albums.

    You know, I actually went on gift.com today. Great minds think alike!! The best idea I found was a Ticketmaster gift certificate. Could be kinda cool, I guess.
