Brother picked up Call of Duty w/ Assassin's Creed, they own Halo, and Bioshock. Not sure about The Orange Box, I haven't heard of that one. I'm not entirely certain he'd be interested in Mass Effect, I haven't really been poking for more ideas yet.
The other idea for him is some outdoorsy gear. He loves hiking.

Ok.....well if he liked the other 2 then Orange Box is up his alley.
Funny you mentioned hiking...I was going to suggest an outdoors watch.

What does your SO do for a living?
I really wanted to get Mr. Pi Phi Montreal Canadiens tickets to a game in Montreal, but the tickets were sold out (and not really with in my budget for this year), so I think I am going to buy him a proper work jacket. He works outside a lot and especially on roofs of extremely tall buildings and he doesn't have a proper coat to wear when it's raining or cold, so I was looking at geting him an all purpose coat. One that will keep him warm when it's 40 below and dry when it rains.

Your dad is correct. They can go way past $400 also.
- Bell
- Shoei
- Caliber
- Vega
- HJC
As I said before (in the pm) stick to helmets that are regular price over a hundred bucks and full face. OH.. and are DOT and Snell approved. Look for air vents, lots of padding, scratch resistant shields, tinted is good too.
Mine is similar to this-->  Look for a removable lining that is washable. Sweaty linings are nasty yuck..
When he tries it on, make sure it is snug and when he moves his head around the helmet moves with him and there is no extra space between his head and the lining. Make sure the helmet matches his jacket.

RedEnvelope is amazing. I can't believe I ever went a Christmas or birthday without finding it.
I've settled on a watch. Those engraved collar stays have next-special-occasion written all over them though!

I bought my spouse a Bose SoundDock for his iPod. It's portable and rechargable... and it will look nice in our house. I think it retails for around $300. I got mine at QVC with free shipping on Bose products.

I got him a Bucky Badger doormat for the door into his house from the garage (we have this at our front door already) and a casual sweater from Banana Republic. I'm not really sure what else to get him since he pretty much lives at work these days.

My plan for my SO was to buy a Coach wallet filled with "Infamous12 Love Coupons" and put the wallet in the pocket of some new jeans.
When we were browsing the mall the other day, I secretly bought him a PRL shirt that was on super clearance instead of the jeans. I think instead of buying him jeans (that could potentially not fit - he's 6'5") I'm going to buy some Coke pj pants and put the wallet in the pants and the shirt folded on top.
What do you think?

- Dress shirt neck and length
15/34
- suit size
He's not much for suits. If we have somewhere fancy to go, he wears black slacks and borrows my dad's suit jacket.
- sweatshirt size
Medium
- Pants inseam and length
30x30
- and altho I am against people buying shoes for their S/O.....shoe size
If they fit me, they'll fit him. He borrows my hiking boots and soccer sandals.
