    P3150 Leather Range...the fountain is out of your range by quite a bit though. You could get him one of the ball variety and stay under 300.

    Google wine clubs and find a bottle of the month club.

    There are companies that distribute a nice feature bottle of wine each month for an entire year. Price will dictate the vintage and quality, but your friend will start to look forward to the next months delivery. It's a nice way to get to know a wide variety of wines and vinters.

    Here are gifts that I gave for Christmas that were huge hits. The DP wash bucket gift pack, included:
    Wash Bucket
    Grit Guard
    Wash Mitt
    Guzzler
    6 MF's
    DP Sealant
    DP Extreme Shampoo
    Maxwax
    You can mix your own stuff for 100-300 probably.

    Seemed the obvious answer to me. Someone gave me a gift like this while I was on a trip, I was over the moon

    Dude, you're in Canada, get him some fine Cuban stogies!!! We technically don't have access to Cuban cigars here in the U.S., so one of the most sought after lines is Opus X by Arturo Fuente. They are Dominican. You could get him a good box of Opus X or Cuban cigars. If memory serves correct, some good lines would be Cohiba, Romeo Y Julieta, Fonseca, and a few others.

    I remember going to Toronto about 7-8 years ago right after college with some buddies. Very much enjoyed the Cubans while I was up there. Toronto was a fun city to party in as well. It was very clean to from what I saw. Dudes were powerwashing the sidewalks down at 2 in the morning on our way back from the bars.
