Co., Everett, WA Lines: 22 [this line is not here] Flowers, candy, backrubs, etc. etc. are fine, but... if you are trying to find an ideal gift for a particular person then by all means LISTEN and OBSERVE when you are doing things together. Odds are there will be all kinds of hints that you can use to give you ideas for a gift. Often the hint will be perfectly obvious. (E.g. the article a while ago about "The Annotated Alice".) I've had a lot of sucess giving women pearl jewlery. I think pearls look terrific on women, and you can spend just about any amount you want from ~$20 for a thin gold chain with a small pearl up to hundreds of dollars for necklaces. There's also lots of varieties of rings, bracelets, and earrings. Shop around a lot before you buy. (Dress up, go into a fancy jewlery store and let the sales representative teach you all about pearls, then go and shop the places without so much overhead.) Myself, I've always wished for a cuckoo clock. Dan Everhart John Fluke Mfg. Co. { decvax!microsof, uw-beaver, allegra, lbl-csam, ssc-vax } !fluke!dan
