So, I was thinking I'd make a $25 donation to BC/EFA instead of a physical gift- it's less useless crap that I'd be making a huge guess on, and it's doing good. But, it is the office Christmas party... so would it be completely uncouth? Good idea? Bad idea?

I think that would be lovely, but I'd do it in his name, so he can get the tax credit. Think George Costanza's People Fund.

Okay, I need something for the sports fanatic. Unfortunately, I've already outdone myself in the past (White Sox tickets, cards for the pro shop in a Cracker Jack box, etc), so suggestions?

What is his favorite team(s)?

Do they have any autographed memorabilia?

The above mentioned White Sox, although the Bears are a close second. The really hard part is that we're trying to keep it less expensive this year - I would SO love to get him an autographed photo of Da Coach!
