I hope that they're buying it for the fashion more than the aches and pains..

The company claims its products relieve fatigue by balancing the body's signals that runs from brain to the body and thus regulating the body's "bio-electric currents".[2] Through what the company calls the "Phild process," titanium is turned into "aqua-titanium," a water-soluble form of titanium. The company claims to be able to integrate small amounts[3] of the metal directly into the fabric.[2] The medical and performance-enhancing claims relating to Phiten's products are considered pseudoscience.[4] Fatigue is not thought to be caused by an imbalance of ions in the body, and the technology behind the company's products is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

You could also do a normal type present and a little gag thing on the side, like an old person crossing sign you could put in their lawn (might be hard since ground is frozen now).

Hi. I know I'm a newbie, but how about a really cool spice set from the spice shop at the Calgary Farmer`s Market? I bought a lot of Christmas gifts there this year - they have some really neat sets. The cinnamon chili rub is especially awesome.
And by the way, I don't work there or have any vested interest. Just think the stuff is unique and useful and the person who receives the gift will think of you every time they`re cooking.

Of course. He's 13 and wants to look like an NBA/NFL player. Then again, he is 6'3 and 200 lbs. *sigh* Maybe some day..

A friend of mine got his dad 50 pennies for his 50th bday.

The cool part was that he spent time finding a penny from every year from his dad's birth until the year of his 50th bday.

Took a little bit of time but it was really cool to see. 50 consecutive years of pennies. I think he arranged them into a 50 or something too.

I agree. I thought 60 was the new 50, but this thread makes it seem like 60 is the new 80.
