Are you looking for an acceptable generic gift or are you looking for a little something that says, "I don't like you; this gifts confirms it to you, but stays just short of proving it to everyone else?" Because the second one is much harder.

I think the best course of action is to just get the nice generic one, but I'm boring like that. I think gift certificates are okay; Bath and Body stuff works, as do fragranced candles, pretty vases, and stuff like that. I also think you could send some Harry and David's thing if you wanted to.

Give me some insight into what the person is like, and I'll work on ideas on the backhanded compliment gift.

The Heifer Internation idea is appealing; who wouldn't want a Water Buffalo partially contributed in your name, particularly if you have a weight problem?
