Probably not much help to you, but eh - you asked. |
Just out of asking but how much are custom lids BTW?
Someone else here at my job is thinking about getting one for their s/o and has no clue....

No clue, either. I actually just PMed NinjaPoodle for suggestions on brands and features to look for. I don't think I'm going to go as far as custom. My dad's looked a little (he rides), and he said for the full one, you're looking at between $70-$400+.

I'm getting hubby tools for his garage workshop and a new golf bag. He's had his golf bag since he was a teenager, and it's AWFUL. He keeps saying "it works!" Soooo... he will be getting a nice leather bag, so I don't have to be embarassed by his lame one anymore.

Your dad is correct. They can go way past $400 also.

- 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.
