Well, there's Konzuk, but they don't have belt buckles. There are also some really neat titanium rings/wedding bands at the jewelry store across the street from where I live; I'll have to ask who manufactures them.
i once got an 'architecture puzzle' meant for 5-10 year olds [me, thirties]. it had different boards with drawings of buildings on them and you were supposed to put them together and presto, architecture. i sent it to a local charity. could not even muster a smile when i got it.
I received the FLW popup as a gift a few years ago. It was much more appreciated than a run of the mill FLW book would have been. I also have a FLW coloring book. Both make for fun conversation pieces.
I'm graduating in a few days. I'm just glad my best friend's big brother is a dentist. That way I'll have somewhere else to forward all the subscriptions to Architectural Digest that I'm sure I'll be getting for graduation/Christmas.
jewellery is pretty gorgeous, silicone rubber and stainless steel and stuff. good for the nerd/aesthete lady crossover. (ditto paraphernalia but i think that's a different kind of nerd.)
A Swiss-made digital caliper by Brown and Sharpe for less than $200. Also consider antique drafting tool sets by K&E or Richter (on eBay for about $50).

ha! it's nice to be caught out while saying nice things/revealing my wishlist. usually only happens when i'm being mean.
Speaking of jewelry, I've been longing for this cork cuff for awhile now.
I also need a cad monkey, well really someone who can make Sketch-Up look cool. But I need that gift before Christmas - Winter Solstice gift, perhaps?
