It's my birthday and I'd like to buy a present from you

According to my wife, my kids, my ex-wife, my parents, my brothers, my next door neighbor and my salsa instructor, I am very difficult to buy for.
And even after a gift is selected for me, I'm apparently "that guy" who fondles and shakes every present until I know exactly what is underneath the spectacular gift wrap (which, hopefully, was purchased from Specialty Box).
This is why I desperately need your help.
Today, on my 45th birthday, I hope to surprise myself by purchasing birthday gifts from friends who, for some reason, read my silly monthly message.
If I could buy something from you then please reply with your name, your company's name and either an idea for a gift, a website to browse or information about your daughter's girl scout cookie sale or your son's band camp fundraiser. I mean it, nothing is off limits. Every response will be placed into a hat and sometime next week I will randomly draw from the replies and surprise myself with some presents I'll be thrilled to buy.
I know that a single purchase doesn't change the life of any small business owner. However, I know how much I appreciate every single purchase made from Specialty Box and I'd like to try, even if in a small way, to return the favor.
