Help!
In my office we are doing a gift exchange and I was "lucky" and I drew my bosses name!
$20.00 is the limit, he's a coffee drinker, likes UNLV athletics, is English by birth, spent a good part of his life in one of the "Z" countries of Africa.

Current ideas are gift certificate to Barnes and Noble, coffee or coffee card from Starbucks, or a nice bottle of wine.

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

P.S. he is not into the outdoors so all gear suggestions are useless.

Stainless coffee thermos, pint sized from Campmor. And since you are ordering from them anyway, you'll just have to see if there is anything which you need to add for you!

You can get those turtleneck shirts, so you don't have to put up with rope burn.

Ok, serious answer as I promised. Bosses are hard to buy for, but try to find out what he got LAST year, and did he like it. That will give you SOME clue.. if I was in your shoes.. I would have to find out where he shops for his clothes.. (call his wife or something.. or get the ADminASST to get the facts for ya.. ).. and get him a gift certificate to his fav place.

we joke about him being "african american" but the only place he can kick anyone's a$$ is on the raquetball court.

I hate getting or giving gift certificates. They are way impersonal.

I'd suggest a good $20 hooker.

After you check to see what he got last year and how well he liked it, check to see if that person is still employed there.

So your boss likes raquetball, get him some cool looking eye protection, and if he needs them, some new balls. HAHA

Check out this website. www.sweetmarias.com.

Rabbitman and I have ordered coffee from this place several times. We actually got into buying the coffee beans green and roasting them ourselves. I feel sure you could find something in your price range.
