Yeah, you might want to find out which Doctor he likes. I would not want a bowtie; I do not know Matt Smith yet and am unsure about him (although I’m sure he’ll win me). But anything from Eccleston or Tennant would thrill me. And I don’t have the episodes…you could find out if they have them. But they’re a little pricier than I was thinking. I think they are like $55 on Amazon. ---

:eek::eek::eek: Holy cow. This has been an … interesting shopping adventure. I’m clearly missing out. As to which Dr. Who, I have no idea. The list that was forwarded to me just says, “anything related to Dr. Who.” I think the screwdriver screwdriver **Attack** linked to may be a winner, plus a T-shirt of some kind. Thanks all! ---

After a little waffling, the Tardis USB thing won out. That amuses me even though I’m not a Dr. Who fan. Y’all rock! ---

Good choice. As a hard-core fan from Baker to the Smith, I approve. ---

A Tardis is always a safe bet if you don’t know what Doctors they’ve seen. Twenty years ago a 20 foot scarf was popular for the Tom Baker fans. I would have liked a K-9 back then, but it’s really out dated looking now. ---

Find a HQ picture of Karen Gillan and have it printed poster size. I know I’d love you forever for that. Otherwise the Sonic Screwdriver would be top of my list. -Joe ---
