But as I said to some other folks:
So sometimes, you have an amazing idea for a present for someone.
And you can get enough people together on it to pull it off.
And the gods of eBay take pity on you, for your purpose is noble.
And the swift feet of UPS move just a little faster, so the present gets
there before you leave for a couple weeks.
And it all just works, and you get to see their face when they open up this:

Because sometimes, it really is better to give than to receive.
Oh yeah, she got weepy at one point...so I think we all win the award for best gift ever!
The list...
