an acre of the moon
Don't do this: it's a rip-off! Nobody's actually entitled to sell bits of the moon off, so in fact all they're selling you is a certificate (unlike my square foot of the Laphroaig distillery ). Same goes for this 'name a star after your wife' crap -- star names have to be ratified by the IAU (IIRC) so again you're just getting a certificate.

Have a look on the Red Letter Days website and see if you can get some inspiration from there.

It's no good asking me, my life revolves around scoobies, cars and motorsport so my idea of a fantastic birthday present would be anything to do with that. Preferably a TVR Tuscan Speed Six


Other than that my main area of interest is clothes so what about scoob-babes' idea of a mega-shop with your credit card?
