The quest for impossible xmas gifts

[emmanuelle]

I'm sure that some of you can relate to trying to locate the ideal gift for someone, or something from their wishlist, and coming up empty. Either it's a rare item, or in some cases, it simply does not exist. I consider myself pretty resourceful, but I'm coming up empty handed on a couple of things, and am hoping that somebody out there has seen what I am looking for.

1- A digital clock that displays in Roman numerals. The only one I've found so far is at http://www.sonic.net/chronart/romdig.html but I'd like to know if any others exist, perhaps without the mahogany case.

2- The same annoying person wants a digital wall calendar that he can keep on the fridge, but can synch with Outlook on his pc, either manually or via wireless. Sounds like a good idea, but I cannot find evidence that one exists, other than using a palm pilot.

Does anybody out there have ideas or suggestions?
