a little late to the party bill. but i thought the vintage bike meet idea was good. and uncle's suggestion, or the spirit of it, is good too. we all could use the laughs from a good gag gift.
unless he thinks you're being cheap!
it's also true, that in these situations, either a gift jumps out or it's a real bugger to track down.
doesn't have to be big bucks; if it's from the heart and shows you were really thinking about him when ya got it, it'll work.
