1. Do you have a Banana Republic in your area?

Or Patagonia? Does he like fine wines? Or unusual beers?

Hey, think we're on to something BullW...

He loves Cheesecake Factory, Macaroni Grill, and those are close to where he lives already...

Hmmm, not sure about shows...he works at Univ of Texas already and gets to attend plenty of those...

Not sure about the haircuts...

I know how difficult it is to shop for some people. I don't know how much you plan on spending, but I just purchased a tagine at Crate & Barrel and made delicious chicken last night.

It's on sale now for $69.95 instead of $89.95. Don't know if that's in your bracket or not?

www.crate and barrel.com

then search for tagine
