Elegant Ideal Rock Total Posts: 830 Last Post: 11/10/2009 Member Since: 6/13/2008	My friend is graduating from our doctoral program - I'm not in the graduation, only a spectator unfortunately - Anyways...he's about 48 years old, single, he is a director of a program at a college, he is very traditional, very conservative. He emails me a lot - we are completely different but I thnk he still stays in contact with me because of my sense of humor (ok, I feel really guilty because I just emailed him a funny "play dead" video about a dog on the Tonight Show and his uncle died a few days ago - UNBELIEVABLY insensitive - I just emailed him to apologize because it totally slipped my mind!) and I just don't have any idea what to give him...that won't cost a fortune. I'm thinking the most $50. Any suggestions? Please!!! Thanks!
