Thanks for some great ideas you guys!
We've done many GC's to local restaurants and Heifer International in the past too. And a bunch of different charitible donations as well. I swear, my family has been in the 'purge mode' for the past 15 years, so we all try to get really creative with gifts. My mom just sent us a case of oranges and I LOVE it!
So, we strolled the local sporting goods store last night and I bought him an Oregon Ducks Rose Bowl golf shirt (which he will totally get a kick out of!) and that will go with something creative using the photos from the photo albums. There is one picture of me as a little girl dumping water on his head as he was lying in my kidding pool. It's always been a favorite of both of ours, so I'm going to have it turned into something (not sure what).
And lauraelmore - I'm totally bookmarking that charger for my husband for his birthday, that's a GREAT idea!
