What do I want for my birthday?
So, my mom asked me what I want for my birthday. It's the worst question these days. I have most of what I want except for things I wouldn't want as a gift, you know? But she wants to get me a thing, not just cash, as per usual.
Things I don't need:
Wallet
Another watch
Another messenger bag
Shoes
Clothes
Lighter
Bottle opener
Flask
Pen (this is actually my pen...http://shop.coolmaterial.com/product...d-aluminum-pen)
Any ideas? My first thought is a Steve McQueen themed gift array. LeMans, Magnificent Seven, Thomas Crown, et al all on Blu Ray, a Steve McQueen coffee table book, you know, stuff like that.

Original Gangsta
How about ties, cuff links, or a nice suit or blazer?
Or maybe a book or a leather portfolio?

Got sunglasses? Summer's coming, you're a Steve McQueen fan. Persol 649 or 714.

Sorry, I'm not trying to bleed Mrs. Raza dry, here. These frames go for around three hundred bucks. Or a nice pair of RayBan Wayfarers. They would be around half that figure.
Happy Birthday!

In this case I am referring to the strap.

That's a great pen btw. Any idea if it takes roller gel inserts? Or fine felt tips?
