Gifts Ideas For 'Non-Geek' Types?

BRock97 asks: "There is no better activity which sheds light on 'Geek/Non-Geek' interaction than Christmas shopping. As I try and browse Target's online store looking for the perfect gift, I can't help be gravitate back to ThinkGeek in hopes I will find something that the receiver of the gift will find useful AND also remind them of the person who gave it. I was curious as to what other /.'ers were planning on getting their friends and loved ones (parents/grandparents) who live the 'non-geek' lifestyle." We've already told Santa what we'd like for Christmas, now what about the non-geeks in our lives?

Nothing says I love you, even though you're a reanimated corpse, like Tesla coils

i found out in college that non-geeky people enjoy weird things, like:
- love,
- friendships,
- memories (that are not measured in MB's or pixels)
- getting away from the computer
- sunshine (one *not* coming from the monitor)
- fresh clothes
- mountains/beaches -- these things in LotR:RotK actually exist!
I was so startled by thier weird tastes that i say kudos to anyone who claims to have mastered their weird ways.
