Two of the newsgroups I subscribe to have a Secret Santa gift exchange
every
year. It is a lot of fun. The gifts aren't supposed to cost more than
$15,
and, since people live all over the world, it's good to give something
that
represents the place you live.

I live in Southern California. Both of my groups are for people over 50.
The names I drew on the two groups just happen to be brothers, both of
whom
live in England. I need to buy and mail the gifts this coming week for
sure. I have already got a (different) photo calendar for each of them.
What else can I send them that is representative of California?

One of them writes poetry, which is usually rather dark. The other
recently
had double bypass surgery. Both of them have a slightly twisted sense of
humor.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Well, I can't help with a Californian suggestion, but I am a Brit and we are
almost obsessively interested in the weather. Anything weather-related
would go down a treat. Especially something which would help us measure it,
like a minimum/maximum thermometer.
