I am really having a hard time coming up with good gifts for my 25 year old boyfriend this Christmas. We've been together 2.5 years and we live together. Hits of the past have been video game systems, books about pirates or zombies, a handmade pirate coat, and other slightly "dorky" stuff. He's just so hard to buy for and he's only interested in really unique and unusual gifts. He doesn't like clothes on holidays. We already have four video games systems with lots of games plus all the standard electronics such as DVD player, mp3 player, computer stuff, portable DVD player, digital camera, etc. And we buy any DVDs we want when they're released, plus we already have all the old movies we want. I've already gotten him a watch (which he hated even though it was a really nice Kenneth Cole), necklaces, and all the guy standards. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! The only thing I've found so far is piratedocuments.com if that gives you any idea as to what he likes.

I am thinking about my mother and friends and family. I don't want to send the usual candy and flowers. I want some fun ideas and some unique ideas. keep it clean!

A few years ago i read a article about probbaly the biggest unusual thing to buy for collection. a fully built (i assume without its nuclear reactor) Russian Yankee Class submarine... imagine showing that off to your neighbors. lol.. what are some other unsual collections and gifts?

please do not say amazon ebay overstock or any world famous ones. I'm looking for small businesses or new ones. Thanks
