nocomply, I can really empathise with what you say there. My Mom&Dad constantly call me up full of excitement to say they have purchased something that is really 'me'. They get really excited about that sort of thing too because I'm 'creative' and they are not that way inclined but find 'creativity' so very exciting. They would definitely buy me BlueManGroup tickets if we lived in the US.
Fairly recently they called me up and said they'd just bought something that was really 'me'. When I everntually saw them - they live a long way away - it turned out to be a very chunky keyfob. Very naff 1980's style, like a bad bauhaus design for a modernist belt buckle, rendered in pale brushed aluminium. Affixed to one face of this big slab of aircraft metal was a piece of domed silicon under which was my name, foil-blocked silver out of a black background. Under my name it said, in rage italic "No Problem: Designer Accessories" by way of a brand name.
It was so 'me' that they couldn't resist.
