Need "Secret Santa" idea for a yuppie
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.

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

Something he can share with his wife.

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?

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.
