I mentioned a while back that I would be able to compile a gift list for someone in dire need of ideas. Such is the case for reader Elizabeth, who has asked very nicely for help in finding her significant other a birthday gift. Guidelines: he loves design and art, books, fishing, nature, music and exercise, and a has thing for lobsters…

Since you’ve got a pretty good budget, I’ve included a few high priced items, but you could always choose a few lower priced items and group them together for a gift opening extravaganza.<\/p>\n
1. Original Ink Drawing<\/a> by studiokmo<\/a>, $160. There’s also the mapcuts<\/a>, of course, but they’re a little more expensive. <\/p>\n 2. Seletti Boxing Gloves<\/a>, $110, and Leather Punch Bag<\/a>, $325.<\/p>\n 3. I sort of like this oil painting from nanabrace<\/a>. Seeing as your boyfriend likes lobsters… Lobsters From Bobby<\/a>, $100. <\/p>\n 4. IDEA Dynamic Headphones<\/a>, $140. These look very similar to the retro Ashidavox ST-90 but they’ve got a better sound quality. <\/p>\n 5. Seletti Skipping Rope<\/a>, $60.00. (professional-standard 2.5m leather skipping rope)<\/p>\n 6. Phaidon Design Classics<\/a> (3 Volume Set), ~$110 ($175 at Phaidon<\/a>). These are truly a must-have for anyone interested in design. <\/p>\n 7. This is at the top of your price range, but it’s a great piece. Art History editioned print<\/a> by Vuk Vidor. $550 (backordered currently though, so it might not work… will ship on or after 15 September 2011)<\/p>\n 8. Light Box No.2<\/a> by Lee Tracy, $400. The etching says ‘The Wish That You Were Granted Is Coming True Now’. There’s several more to choose from. <\/p>\n 9. Wisdom Book<\/a> by Andrew Zuckerman, ~$32 (all of Zuckerman’s books are amazing)<\/p>\n 10. Now, this might be a bit out there, but you did say he has a thing for lobsters: “Night Walker” Bronze Lobster Sculpture<\/a> on eBay ($174 buy it now price). There’s also a few lobster fossils on eBay that look interesting. <\/p>\n 11. Perhaps a custom message or special word? Handcut What Wood You Say <\/a> signs from Multi Polar Projects<\/a>. ($5 per character)<\/p>\n Hope that helps. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I mentioned a while back that I would be able to compile a gift list for someone in dire need of ideas.
