Here's a gift idea for someone who has everything. How about plating a library book in their honor? For $20 the Library will send a card to the honoree, put a book plate in the book stating who gave it and who they were honoring.

I love that idea, Christine. So - can we pick out a specific book? How do we do this?

Socks with a warranty? I need that plus a "no ripping through the knees of your pants" warranty for my son's pants. ;-)
