Rich's birthday - I'm stumped.
Rich's birthday is just about 2 weeks away.
I wanted to buy him an iPod or XM radio, but he keeps insisting that he doesn't want one, won't use it, etc. When he's home, he doesn't listen to the radio, and when he's in the car, he listens to the FAN660 anyway, so it would be pretty useless to buy XM.
He doesn't need any clothes.
I'm so stuck.
He says he wants to go to Atlantic City - the only day I can do that is this coming Sunday (no work/class on Monday due to the Jewish Holiday) - but I feel like that isn't a birthday present, you know?
Any suggestions? I really can't spend a lot. 
Thanks

Re: Rich's birthday - I'm stumped.
is Fan660 a sports station?
Sirius has a lot of sports stations...one that talks about all sports, a basball station, a basketball station etc.

Re: Rich's birthday - I'm stumped.
taking him to AC is a very nice idea especially if he wants to go...look around at the hotels rates they are not as expensive for sunday as opposed to the weekend.(although I dont know if that will be the case with people having monday off) ..Have fun..HTH

his parents beat me to it.
That WAS my idea, but someone went over my head. 
And Emily, he only likes 660 - yes, its sports radio, but its METS radio

What about a really nice jersey with his favorite player? DH just bought one and he LOVES his.

Re: Rich's birthday - I'm stumped.
I think AC would be agreat idea - especially if he wants to go.
Call a casino you've been to before and you'll probably be able to get a casino rate on a room - especially for a Sunday.
There are a few restaurants off the strip that are inexpensive and have great food.

yeah, i used my poker club rate and got the havana tower at the Tropicana for $69 - so that's the easy part!
I guess I can take him out to dinner, and give him some playing money, but there's nothing tangible, you know? Nothing that he can actually OPEN on his birthday....I guess I just feel a little weird giving my man money for his birthday!

What about a cool Mets collectable from ebay or somewhere? A signed bat or jersey.

That was last Christmas' gift!
He has Pedro, Wright, Beltran, etc.
Actually, now that you mention it - he really like the 1969 Vintage jersey with Reyes on the back!
Wow - I can't believe I didn't remember that! I'm going to see about ordering it - if its not too bad, I'll probably do AC and the jersey.
Thanks!!!!!!

i will pray for him to see the light and be a Yankees fan 
what about baseball's equivalent of a concerts backstage passes or nascar's garage passes??
there has to be a way to get him into a practice session or something so he can meet the players.

Re: Rich's birthday - I'm stumped.
ok, i had that wrong
its the 1986 Turn Back the Clock Reyes jersey
Way under $100 from NY Legends in Brooklyn (love them - order from them all the time!)
So I'm ordering, and taking him to AC. Wooohooo that was fast and easy!
Thanks again!
